Until Dawn hosts a terrifying overnight screening challenge.
Sony Pictures is cranking up the horror hype for their upcoming film Until Dawn with an event that’s not for the faint of heart. The studio just announced the “Survive Until Dawn” screening competition — an intense overnight experience designed to mirror the film’s tension.
A 12-Hour Challenge Where Sleep Is Not an Option
Set to take place on April 22 in eight major cities across the U.S., the competition dares horror fans to sit through a 12-hour marathon of the film, from 7 PM to 7 AM, without falling asleep, using their phones, or even stepping out for a bathroom break. It’s a test of nerves, endurance, and commitment to the genre. Those who make it through the night without breaking any rules will compete to be the last person standing in their city, with a mystery prize waiting for each local champion. One city teased a prize of $5,000.
Get ready for a thrilling night! Join us for the Until Dawn marathon screening in South Florida on April 22, where horror awaits and you could win $5,000 if you survive until dawn! Don't miss out on this epic experience! Read more here: https://t.co/OgvQONKsN2

A Movie Based On The Game
Directed by David F. Sandberg (Lights Out, Annabelle: Creation) and written by Blair Butler and Gary Dauberman, Until Dawn is a cinematic reimagining of the hit video game. The story centers around Clover and her group of friends, who travel to a valley in search of Clover’s missing sister. What starts as a mystery quickly spirals into a nightmare on loop. Trapped in a cycle of being hunted by a masked killer, the group must survive each deadly night and figure out how to break the loop or risk dying over and over again.
A Real-Life Survival Game for Horror Fans
The event will be held in Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, Chicago, Washington D.C., Denver, Atlanta, and Miami. With its intense no-exit rules and high stakes, the “Survive Until Dawn” challenge offers fans a unique, real-life version of the game’s survival mechanics.
It’s the kind of promo that creates unforgettable memories for horror lovers.
Until Dawn will hit theaters on April 25, 2025. But for the bravest fans, the nightmare begins a few days earlier.
