VANDERGRIFT, PA — For the fourth year in a row, we’ve brought back the fun in going to the drive-in, with another weekend of retro thrills! 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 fourth year in a row that we are hosting such an event, so we encourage all drive-in movie fanatics to travel from near and far, as you’re not going to find anything else like it, anywhere!
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 still 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 10, the features will be “The Comedy of Terrors”, “The Oblong Box”, “The Witchmaker” and “The Incredible Melting Man”.
On Saturday, September 11, our all-british horror night will feature “Frankenstein Created Woman”, “Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell”, “The blood on Satan’s Claw” and “Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors”.
Each night we will also present an array of vintage monster movies trailers, cartoons and short subjects in between the features which we know you will just love! The gates will open at 7 PM and the show will start at dusk and continue late into the night.
Where is the theater?
DRIVE-IN SUPER MONSTER-RAMA will be held at the Riverside Drive-In Theatre in Vandergrift, PA.
