Fans of The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs were shocked and stunned when Shudder made the decision to cancel the very popular series at the very end of its seventh season. Many were also very angry, and there have been a lot of people saying they are cancelling their Shudder subscriptions. Most will probably stick around for the next eight months or so, however, since there are four specials promised through the year.
The first of these “final four” specials is coming up in just a few days, on Friday, April 24. Joe Bob’s Wicked Witchy Wingding continues his quest to make Walpurgisnacht a national holiday by giving us a double feature of films about witches.
Joe Bob’s Wicked Witchy Wingding will air at 9:00 pm ET on Shudder TV and the AMC+ livestream
We don’t know yet what witchy films will be featured, but that is how Joe Bob’s specials usually work. It’s possible that he or Darcy might drop a few hints in the next few days, or even give us one of the titles…it’s been done before.
In the meantime, Joe Bob has sent out an email instructing fans to “study this menu intensely” if we plan to celebrate with The Last Drive-In crew. Said menu includes recommendations for beer, mead and shots that are acceptable beverage choices for joining in on the Walpurgisnacht shenanigans.
According to JB himself, “Beer is the staple food for Walpurgisnacht.” He instructs us that there is a lager invented by the Germans specifically for the celebration, Maibock. We are given three Maibock options: hardcore, lazy, and ridiculous.
Mead, with its herb, spices, and honey is also recommended, and we are given the same three options. The “ridiculous” option is Redstone, and JB’s description is hilarious. He describes it as such: “This is a large Meadery in Boulder, Colorado, that uses the term ‘honey wine’ instead of mead – who knows why – and sells it in flavors like blueberry, apple, juniper berry, and their original and most popular offering, ‘Barrel-Aged Black Raspberry Mountain Honey Wine.”
Shots are apparently non-negotiable, and we are all going to be required to do shots around a bonfire at midnight before getting buck wild crazy. Again, there are three options, with the ridiculous one being Jagermister. His only note for it is: “Yeah. Don’t talk to me.”
Finally, there is a list of adult beverages titled “If You Drink Anything on This List, You Will Be Banished from Walpurgisnacht And/Or Flogged With a Ceremonial Mace.” Included are wine spritzers, any candy flavored liqueurs, martinis, hard seltzers…you get the idea.
Don’t panic, you still have a few days to visit your local specialty liquor store. Enjoy Joe Bob’s Wicked Witchy Winding, and then celebrate again on April 30 (which is the actual date of Walpurgisnacht).
