Saw this posted and it looks VERY cool. If I was anywhere close, I'd be there in a heartbeat.

VANDERGRIFT, PA — Riverside Drive-In Theatre, Sept 11-12
What is DRIVE-IN SUPER MONSTER-RAMA?

Ever wish you could go into a time machine and go back to a time when life was much more simple, but far more fun? Well, here it is! DRIVE-IN SUPER MONSTER-RAMA is two nights of classic horror and science fiction 35mm prints presented at an authentic drive-in movie theater. There will be two big shows on two consecutive nights which will start at dusk and go on until really late into the night! This is the second year in a row that we are hosting such an event, so we encourage all East Coast drive-in movie fanatics to attend and make it another rousing success! What could be better than a weekend getaway topped off with two nights of classic monster movies on the big outdoor screen? We realize that everything is so expensive these days, but admission is only $10 a person each night! Plus, children 12 and under are free with parent or adult guardian. How can you beat that? The Riverside's concession stand is loaded with reasonably priced goodies, including hot foods, hot and cold drinks, candy, popcorn and much more!

What is being shown and when?

On Friday, September 11, the features will be WITCHFINDER GENERAL, SCREAM AND SCREAM AGAIN, THE CRIMSON CULT and TERROR CREATURES FROM THE GRAVE.

On Saturday, September 12, our all-Hammer Horror night will feature THE VAMPIRE LOVERS, THE 7 BROTHERS MEET DRACULA, THE SATANIC RITES OF DRACULA and VAMPIRE CIRCUS.

Each night we will also present an array of vintage monster movies trailers in between the features which we know you will just love! This year, we might even have a few surprise short subjects!

Where is the theater?

DRIVE-IN SUPER MONSTER-RAMA will be held at the Riverside Drive-In Theatre in Vandergrift, PA.

I am so going to try to make this! I have relatives in Scranton, which isn't all that far (considering I'd be driving from Chicago anyway) so I may make it a dual purpose visit and see the family too!

I have gone to both previous shows and will be at the next one!

Why don't I live in PA? I've been asking myself this for a number of years. Looks like a fantastic event.

I hope you can make it, it will be well worth it to make a vacation out of it. I am coming from NY, not nearly as long a drive as you will have.

That is so cool. I wish they had something like that in the DC area.

I've never been to a drive thru, that ad made me imagine watching monster movies all night outside with other monster fans!
