The District Cinema presents premiere of 'Cocaine Werewolf,' a horror-comedy with roots in Northcentral Pa.

Pennsdale, Pa. — You've heard of "Cocaine Bear," but now get ready for "Cocaine Werewolf!" This drug-fueled nightmare creature terrorized Tioga County during filming last December, and now it's coming to the big screen at The District Cinema.

Thanks to the film's roots in Northcentral Pennsylvania, production company Cleopatra Entertainment has chosen to have a special Lycoming County premiere showing of the new film.

In "Cocaine Werewolf," drugs, cash, and a hapless crew filming a low-budget horror movie in the Pennsylvania Wilds clash when an unexpected visit from a blood-thirsty werewolf literally enters the picture — with deadly results. A Gothic Industrial and Psychobilly Rock soundtrack featuring music from The 69 Cats, Pink Fairies, Hawkestrel, Front Line Assembly, Switchblade Symphony, The Brains, Mike Pinera, Hollywood After Dark, and others perfectly set the mood for a wild and crazy howling-at-the-moon affair that Deadline called “a thrilling yet humorous ride.”

"Cocaine Werewolf" was written by Tyger Torrez and directed by cult film master Mark Polonia, who’s got a whopping 100 film credits on his resume. It was produced by Cleopatra Records' Tim Yasui, who was born and raised in Williamsport prior to moving to Los Angeles in 1987 to pursue a career in music and film. The film stars Brice Kennedy ("Splatter Beach," "Razorteeth"), Jamie Morgan ("Amityville Island," "Return To Splatter Farm," "Camp Murder"), Ken Van Sant ("Bigfoot Vs Zombies," "Jurassic Prey"), Jeff Kirkendall ("Sharkula," "Return To Splatter Farm"), Titus Himmelberger ("Cocaine Shark," "Sharkenstein"), Yolie Canales ("Jurassic Shark 3," "Amityville In Space") and Noyes Lawton ("Jurassic Exorcist," "Bride of the Werewolf").

In addition to its producer being a Williamsport native, the film itself was filmed in and around Wellsboro.

The Lycoming County premiere is set for Fri, July 19 and Sat., July 20 at The District Cinema, 965 Lycoming Mall Circle, Pennsdale, Pa.

Additional drive-in theater bookings will be announced soon.

The official release date for the Home Entertainment Blu Ray featuring exclusive director’s commentary, DVD, and TVOD versions will be released on Aug. 13, followed by an SVOD/AVOD and cable TV release this coming November.

Tickets for the screenings at The District Cinema are available through the theatre's website .
