The story is about a bunch of affectionately described characters in small-town Texas who go to a horror-movie marathon at the local drive-in. While they're watching The Toolbox Murders, a bright red meteor with a toothy smile swoops down and traps them in the drive-in for all time. Then the fun begins: endless re-runs of the same movies and fights over concession food, followed by anarchy, religion, cannibalism, bodily transformation, crucifixion, mad bikers, and a supernatural Popcorn King. It's not just silly, though; it's social commentary. The lesser (but equally surreal) sequel further explores the end-of-the-world scenario. As Lansdale himself says, "The Drive-In is quirky as hell. It's kind of a cult book, and it's not for everybody." The Drive-In was nominated for a 1989 World Fantasy Award for Best Novel.]]> 58971 3.79 5621 718 1989 Next: The Drive-In 2 0 2009-06-20T21:44:09-07:00 914573 167 2009-06-20T21:44:09-07:00 0 2009-06-15T16:54:54-07:00 891517 35 2009-06-15T16:54:54-07:00 5 0 false Sun Jun 28 21:04:59 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 15 16:54:16 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 28 21:04:59 -0700 2009
