A double bill of KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE and AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON would be pretty cool.

I like the sound of that! Thumbup

I remember KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE and THE GROOVE TUBE playing on some drive-in double features in the 70s.

The Groove Tube had one of those scenes where your dad saw it and laughed when he was younger and years later when you watch it you laugh just as hard (as in the case of my dad and I).

I'd play a remake followed by the actual sequel to the original just to mess with people.

Blood Mania/Blood Freak
Night Of The Lepus/Night Of The Demon
Frogs/Rattlers
Frozen Dead/Frozen Scream

My goal would be to sucker them in with a fairly tame title, and then shock them out of the back seat sex with the insane follow-up.

Yes, I am a bit of an arsehole.

I almost forgot:

Mwhahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh boy, that's like the dream of my life. One of the things I'd definitely show would be Kill Bill, both volumes together like they're meant to be. Maybe even the fabled "Whole Bloody Affair" version if that ever gets released.

I have an old Super 8MM movie projector and a screen.  I could sort of have my own outdoor theater in my side yard but each full movie would require like 5 reels.  I've seen full movies on ebay like Jaws, and some cartoon shorts that would go well with the drive-in type atmosphere, but 5 reels for a full movie kind of sucks.  That's a lot of intermissions while I change reels!

The thing to do is use the condensed films on the 800' reels.  Ends up being a reel change every 25 minutes, and usually it's a whole "movie" in that time.  If you don't mind spending more money, you can also get one of the ones that takes a larger reel.  There's a very expensive Super 8 projector out there that takes a 2000' reel if memory serves.   TeddyR

I've done this with my Super 8 stuff a couple times.  Mine has an 800' reel.  Last time I showed a Looney Tunes short, the trailer for Sword and the Sorcerer, and the 40 minute version of The Sting (which is very smartly edited down - it contains just the main con of the title).

I got a Super 8 sound camera and projector for my birthday when I was a kid.  I had a collection of mostly 200', 400', and 800' condensed movies.  Some of my favorites were:

* CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (400' and 3-D!)
* IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE (400' and 3-D!)
* ANIMAL HOUSE (800', mounted on two 400' reels)
* SLAPSHOT (400')
* BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (200')
* SON OF FRANKENSTEIN (200')
* FRANKENSTEIN'S NEW BRAIN (which was a condensed version of GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN on a 200' reel)

I remember getting a catalog in the mail for FULL LENGTH Super 8mm sound movies mounted on a series of 400' reels.  They were really expensive, but I very much wanted to get THE GODFATHER.  I think it was about $350 and this was in the late 1970s.  A small fortune at that time.

First this would be something of a dream come true for me personally. I'd probably go with lots of AIP films personally with a dash of some British sci-fi/horror imports. The Herman Cohen produced films, Hammer films, the Corman Poe films, etc. The basic theme though would be people battling monsters of different sorts.

The Blob (1958), I Was a Teenage Werewolf
The Creeping Unknown, The Creeping Terror
The Crawling Eye, Fiend Without a Face
Brain From Planet Arous, The Brain That Wouldn't Die
Attack of the 50 Foot Woman (1958), Village of the Giants
Blood of Dracula, The Brides of Dracula

I'm going to keep going with current stuff from up and coming exploitation movie filmmakers instead of the nostalgia classics.

That's a pretty cool concept for a musical horror double feature. (I haven't seen either of them).
