Have you ever been to a Drive In ?

[jzbadblood]

There's a spot in Vandergrift PA about an hour outside of Pittsburgh. I grew up near it saw so many movies as a kid, but as an adult they've started doing April Ghouls and September Monster Rama. 4 movies each night so you get 8 movies in a weekend. It's been about 10 years now I've seen everything from Deep Red to Evil Dead. TCM, Halloween, Phantasm, TCM 2, Return of the Living Dead, Night, Dawn, Day, Silent Madness, The Boogens, Flesheater, Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things, Deadly Spawn, Critters, Hills Have Eyes, Sleepaway Camp, Slumber Party Massacre 1&2, Boggy Creek etc. etc. etc.

The list is endless. That's all off the top of my head but I could keep going.

The closes one to me is almost an hour away.  I'd like to go to one, but its kind of hard to justify making a trip like that just for a film.

Up until about 2013, a Pretoria mall had a drive in on its' parking garage roof: sadly closed. Wonderful view from the seventh floor especially on late summer evenings.

There were several drive-ins in my area when I was a kid and we went at least a few times every summer. Some of the movies I saw were:

* The Godfather
* Dr. No, From Russia with Love, Goldfinger triple feature
* Ben
* Puppet on a Chain
* Don't Look in the Basement
* Don't Go in the House
* The Warriors
* Up in Smoke
* Last House on the Left
* The House that Dripped Blood
* Grease
* Nicholas and Alexandra
* Mad Max
* Rolling Thunder
* The Legend of Hell House
* The Other
* Damien: Omen II
* Vanishing Point
* Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry
* Smokey and the Bandit

There are still 2 drive-ins within about 40 minutes of my house, but we only go once every 4 or 5 years now.

Good on ya'! Mine stays open basically as long as it can/until the heavy snow starts. A few years back it was open through Christmas/New Year and only closed for about 2 months from January-March. We took our niece to see ELF on the big screen. Good times.

the drivein has 2 screens , and they're allegedly playing 70's horror on both for the equinox party this year. i sent in my suggestions, all hammer and amicus stuff, so we'll see!

Lockport, NY, which is between Buffalo and Niagara Falls. We've got a neighborhood drive-in and they play weekly "retro" selections... unfortunately. the scariest they get at Halloween is maybe the original FRIDAY THE 13TH at best. Usually it's GHOSTBUSTERS or something...

I wasn't sure if you'd already mentioned where your drive-in was located and didn't want to irritate you by asking you to repeat yourself. Howdy, though!

VERY COOL, i do miss the little drivein my friend owned years ago. it was private, invite/donation only, on a lake. we had some great parties and helped alot of cool charities there, but eminent domain took it... sigh..

Do the remaining drive-ins still have those weird juice dispensers?

I remember being seriously apprehensive about the quality of the beverage inside.
