VANDERGRIFT, PA — A weekend full of nostalgic retro thrills and chills, 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 seventh 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 12, there will be a special tribute to Italian Horror Director Mario Bava, Master of the Macabre, and the features will be PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES, DR. GOLDFOOT AND THE GIRL BOMBS, KILL BABY KILL and HOUSE OF EXORCISM.
On Saturday, September 13, the night commences with a special Christopher Lee Dracula double feature, and the features will be TASTE THE BLOOD OF DRACULA, DRACULA A.D. 1972, TROG and THE HOUSE THAT SCREAMED.
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.
