A local podcast host has paired up with the Kamloops Film Series to put together the perfect Valentine’s Day date night for any couple who loves horror flicks and burgers.

Robin Goodfellow, a local host of the Drunk in a Graveyard podcast, has planned dinner — burgers and fries at Lucky’s — and a movie — a screening of Border at Paramount Theatre.

Border tells the story of Tina, a customs officer with the ability to literally sniff out the guilt on anyone — except Vore, a man she’s just met and finds herself attracted to as she tries to understand their bond. The English-subtitled film is a Swedish dark fantasy-romance-thriller directed by Ali Abbasi.

Regular horror film viewers might know the film’s writer, John Ajvide Lindqvist, from another project, the vampire horror film Let the Right One In, which was later remade as Let Me In.

Tickets are $11 for adults, $10 for seniors and $5 for students and children, available online at kamloopsfilmseries.ca/tickets or at Moviemart, 367 St. Paul St.

Those taking part in the event can bring their tickets to Lucky’s beforehand to take part in the $20 dinner-and-a-movie special for two.
