Renee (elenarenee) I am in ectasy. The local drive in is having a double feature. It will be Zombieland and Dawn of the Dead. Two of my favorite movies.

Tressa  (moanalisa) | 19903 comments Sounds fun! Will you be paying attention to the movie or fogging up the windows?

Not in today's tiny cars, it ain't.

Tressa  (moanalisa) | 19903 comments Not everybody has a clown car. I've got a 4Runner with seats that fold down.

I've got a 4Runner, too! The seats may fold down but the center console is a kind of built in birth control.

You spend all that money for a movie, and your gearshift gets lucky.........

Jason (darkfiction) | 3233 comments My wife and I are going to the Drive-in tomorrow. We're going to see Avengers. Also, we've been together long enough to pay attention to the movie. lol

Nothing more beautiful than two senior citizens tolerating each other in their twilight years.....

LOL. That it is. The back seats fold down, t0o.

When I was a kid my dad had a baby blue Thunderbird. The seats were so long my sister and I would stretch out and take naps in the back seat on trips. This was in the seventies so my parents didn't make us wear seatbelts. I sometimes can't believe I'm still alive.

Bottom line is I wouldn't go to a drive in so I could sit up in my car and watch a two hour movie. Maybe it's fun for kids and teens, but not for me.

Char | 17469 comments I am so jealous of you guys. Where I live there are no longer any drive ins around.
When I was a kid though, my parents brought me all the time to horror movies at the drive in. Back in the day, it was affordable thing for a family to do.

Tressa  (moanalisa) | 19903 comments I can remember only one time going to the drive in with my family and a Dracula movie was playing. I was so scared I wouldn't stop blubbering so we had to go home.

There's a drive in a few towns over, but I have no desire to go.

Randy Harmelink | 1639 comments Never a fan of drive ins. Uncomfortable seats. Too many mosquitoes, and they fumigated the place in between movies. *cough* *cough*

We always stopped at the drugstore first, to pick up candy. Back when candy bars were $0.10 each, or 3/$0.25.

Probably some of my earliest horror films though. I recall The Conqueror Worm (Tagline: "The Year's Most Violent Film!") and The House That Dripped Blood (Tagline: "Vampires! Voodoo! Vixens! Victims!").

We would go all the time when I was growing up. My parents loved horror movies so that's what we always were watching. I could watch people get killed all night long but if a boob came on the screen I was made to lay down in the back seat!

Renee (elenarenee) Haha It was great fun. Some of the people came in Zombie makeup. I wish I had thought of it.
