DRIVE-IN SUPER MONSTER-RAMA SLATED FOR SEPTEMBER
The Riverside Drive-In Theatre in Vandergrift, PA is presenting two nights of vintage British horror films in the form of the aptly-titled Drive-In Super Monster-Rama. This is a great opportunity to see some of your favorite thrillers under the stars. The schedule is as follows:
Friday, September 11, 2009:
WITCHFINDER GENERAL (a.k.a. THE CONQUEROR WORM)
SCREAM AND SCREAM AGAIN
THE CRIMSON CULT
TERROR CREATURES FROM THE GRAVE
Saturday, September 12, 2009:
THE VAMPIRE LOVERS
THE 7 BROTHERS MEET DRACULA
THE SATANIC RITES OF DRACULA
VAMPIRE CIRCUS
The theater is on Route 66 and the phone number is (724) 568-1250. If you want to Google, MapQuest, or GPS the theater, your best bet is to enter the address of it's neighbor, which is Lee’s Lanes, 2780 River Road, Vandergrift, PA 15690. Lee's Lanes' (say that several times quickly) phone number is (724) 567-5963 should you require it.
Gates open at 7:00 pm; first feature begins at 8:00 pm. Each film will be presented in 35mm with trailers, cartoons/short subjects; food and beverages guaranteed to shorten your life span will be available at the concession stand. Unless you're a lip-reader or know the films verbatim, an FM radio, preferably a boom-box device or similar, is required to hear the film's audio (remember, kiddies, carbon monoxide will kill you). Admission is $10.00 per person each night (excluding trunk-dwellers, though this practice is highly discouraged unless you're kidnapping someone), and children 12 and under are free with parent/adult guardian; you may even elect to camp out at the Riverside for an additional $10.00 a night, with breakfast offered (and hopefully security against Jason Voorhees). Although there are no showers, you are free to bring towels and washcloths to wash-up in the restrooms (this is a horror of a much different kind). Since this is at the drive-in, hopefully the standard annoyances that regularly plague moviegoing, such as cell phone calling/texting and infant nursing, will be relegated to their respective automobiles and not impinge upon your enjoyment of the onscreen mayhem.
The theater's website lists many rules, the most obvious (you would hope, anyway) of which is parking based on automobile size – Hyundai Accents have first dibs on the first few rows while Ford Explorers and other such behemoths are relegated to the rear; no vulgar, profanity, or loud voices (thank God my friend Matt lives in Texas); usual disposing of trash; users of laser pointers will be ejected (though there's nothing on the list about laser bras); no fireworks on the premises (what kind of crowds do they get, anyway?), etc. What about hanky panky?
