Stay Up All Night at the WISH-A-THON Hosted by the Wishmaster featuring a Curated-But-Secret Lineup of Genre Oddities!

Paradigm Cinemas: Gateway Fort Lauderdale

Be careful what you wish for… because this wish comes with no escape. And there’s no taking it back!Following our special screening of WISHMASTER, the nightmare is only beginning as we unveil the WISH-A-THON, the ultimate after hours horror endurance challenge. That’s right, horror fiends, night owls, and fearless fanatics are invited to experience a mysterious all night cinematic descent where the only certainty is that you will be sitting in a movie theater… and you will not be sleeping!But this night of terror comes with a heart of gold. The WISH-A-THON is a special charitable event benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation, with all proceeds from the marathon helping grant life-changing wishes for children facing critical illnesses. Every scream, shock, and sleepless hour will help make real wishes come true.What films will be shown? Not revealed. How many movies await you? That’s for the Djinn to decide. What twisted, hilarious, terrifying, or mind-bending discoveries lie ahead? You’ll find out only when each one detonates onto the screen.The ritual begins with a special appearance by the Wishmaster himself, Andrew Divoff, who will personally welcome brave attendees and help set the tone for a night where every wish may come at a cost—and every surprise is part of the curse. From there, the lights go down… and the unknown takes over. Across the night, you’ll be taken through a curated-but-secret lineup of genre oddities, forgotten gems, and cinematic chaos—all bound together by one sinister thread: wishes gone horribly wrong.Make it to sunrise, endure every shock, and you won’t just survive the WISH-A-THON—you’ll earn an exclusive prize reserved for the most dedicated horror devotees, plus eternal bragging rights as part of an elite fraternity of sleepless survivors.One ticket. One night. Secret movies. No sleep. No surrender. The WISH-A-THON awaits!
