50sSNIPES commented about Holiday Drive-In on Dec 9, 2025 at 5:27 pm

Actually, the Holiday Drive-In ran its last regular films in late-1974, and the theater flipped its format to X-rated films.

This lasted for another fifteen years until the middle of the 1989 season, when new management dropped the porn and brought back the Hollywood after more than a decade of disgusting content. The Holiday Drive-In relaunched as a mainstream drive-in on September 15, 1989 with “Ghostbusters II” and “The Karate Kid Part III”. Its last adult movie was screened five days prior.

Unfortunately this did not last long, and the Holiday Drive-In closed after the 1991 season on September 23, 1991 with “Terminator 2” and “Boogy Man & Beyond Fog”.
