The Great Old Ones: UMAers 40 & Over

[Hepcat]

Hey Doc, no giving up on the Drive-Ins for me. Here's one of the few things I love about living here in South Florida.......the Lake Worth Drive-In!!





And there's a Sonic drive-in burger joint right next door!!

Ahhhh, drive-ins! Too cool!

[RedKing]

Indeed! Drive-ins are boss! we have 3 around here, two o which are double screeners. One is for sale-Oh how I would LOVE to buy it, fix it up in retro 50s/60s style and show all of our fave movies!!

There are a couple of drive-ins in my area, too. They actually put up a TEMPORARY drive-in two summers ago on a vacant lot in Charlotte, with an INFLATABLE screen. They were hoping to open it permanently, but I don't think they ever got the permits for it.

I was born in 1962, I'll be 50 in July.  My parents both enjoyed horror movies, so I grew up watching them, I can remember at 4 or 5 playing old maid with my parents and The Mole Men airing in TV.  When I turned 8 I was allowed to stay up on Friday nights to watch Creature Features on WGN (Chicago).  I saw all the classics, Lugosi's Dracula being the first one (which is why Dracula is my favorite movie).  I also remember that the same night one of the mummy movies aired (I don't remember which one), which would have been my first mummy movie, War of the Worlds also was shown.  Needless to say, it would be a while before I saw my first mummy movie.  I was one of the kids who would run home to watch Dark Shadows after school.  On Saturday afternoons on channel 32 a horror/scifi movie was shown and when that was over, I turned to channel 44 for another horror/scifi movie.  I was so excited when I got to see my first PG movie in 1975--Jaws--with my dad, uncle, and brother.  My mom, aunt and 2 sisters went to see Benji.  As they were the first ones out of the movies, they got dinner--fish sticks.  The guys didn't eat much that night.  I also remember going to the drive in for a triple feature--Godzilla's Revenge, Monster Zero, and War of the Gargantuas.
As I said in my profile, I've been watching horror and science fiction movies all my life.  I do enjoy other genres of movies, but horror and scifi will always be my favorite.
