Charles Band and Full Moon 3-D are getting fans directly involved with the innards of movie-making and marketing with the announcement of three contests now in full swing timed with the premiere of Evil Bong 3-D.

Gearing up towards his theatrical release, Charles Band, as always, goes over the top with a premier scheduled to release in several cities nationwide in 3-D and Sniff-o-Rama. Evil Bong 3-D promises to be not just any movie screening, it is going to be a full event, including celebrity appearances in each city, interactive contests with audience participation and prizes awarded and, of course, Charles Band himself performing his Horror Road Show before each screening. Starting in Chicago on April 9th, then premiering in Tempe Arizona on April 16th and nationwide on 4/20.

Armed with 3-D glasses and Sniff-O-Rama Scratch and Sniff cards, audiences will be treated both visually and scentually, as they watch the 3rd installment of the Evil Bong series. In Evil Bong 3D: The Wrath of Bong, an evil alien bong crashes on earth. Its intent; world domination. Our stoner heroes are transported to the alien bong home world and held captive by nude alien beauties. Their only hope to escape and save planet earth; EBee, the original Evil Bong. The original whacked out cast of stoners from EVIL BONG 1 + 2 returns.
