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, hospitable 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 third year in a row that we are hosting such an event, so we encourage all East Coast (or wherever you are!) 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 (parental guidance is of course suggested, but this is in case you want to put the little tykes to sleep in the backseat instead of hiring a babysitter). 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! Their concession stand always gets compliments, and it's one of the things that keeps fans of this event wanting to come back for more.
We guarantee that this will most likely be your only chance to see so many of these type of films on the drive-in screen in one big weekend, so make plans to attend. You won't be sorry! Where else are you going to see the likes of Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, Boris Karloff, Peter Cushing, Barbara Steele and Ingrid Pitt at a real drive-in theater, all in one weekend? Nowhere else, that's where!
What is being shown and when?
On Friday, September 11, the features will be WITCHFINDER GENERAL (aka THE CONQUEROR WORM), SCREAM AND SCREAM AGAIN, THE CRIMSON CULT and TERROR-CREATURES FROM THE GRAVE.
On Saturday, September 12, we are proud to announce an all-Hammer Films night! The features will be THE VAMPIRE LOVERS, THE SEVEN BROTHERS MEET DRACULA, THE SATANIC RITES OF DRACULA (aka COUNT DRACULA AND HIS VAMPIRE BRIDE) 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'll also have cartoons, classic concession stand adverts, and maybe a few surprise short subjects!
