Cafe of Horrors

Ok, since everyone here feels the same as I do about horror, I just want some opinions from ya. I live in Austin Texas, and me and a group of buddies are about to open an all horror themed cafe and shop. the cafe itself will have really good food, italian, burgers, bbq, pizza, etc. while our customers are eating and drinking, we will be projecting horror movies of my choice for free. we will have a bar with beer and wine, and we will be also brewing our own beer. the staff will be fully horrored out, b movie victim waiters and waitresses, and a zombie host. i do special make up effects on the side. our store will have dvds, posters, clothing, basically everything on this website and more. absolutely everything about this place will be horror. we are planning on the opening to be around october of 2008. now, i was just wondering what you guys think about this idea, if you were in the area, would you come to this place?

yeah, that was the main concern, the amount of people that would be interested, but in austin, there is a big demand for off the wall crazy movies. has anyone heard of the alamo drafthouse? its very popular locally, they have a terror tuesday where they show a free horror movie, and its packed every time. especially with ut here, im hoping there will be enough interest to keep us going. we plan to constantly have something going on to keep people coming in, whether it be drink and food specials to film festivals, just keep it interesting. during our working hours, we would show 3 full length movies, one being late seeing as we will be open until about midnight to 4am on the weekends. the rest of the time, i was gonna show trailers, episodes of various shows, etc. so it shouldnt be so bad with people sitting around, and if they do, we have a full bar. it is a risk, but to succeed, you gotta do it. plus, i have to be surrounded by horror, it just wouldnt feel right if i wasnt. thanks for the comments, they are greatly appreciated. will keep yall updated!
