The weekend will include many special events, such as Charles Band and his Full Moon Roadshow. Charles Band released many cult classics at Drive-Ins during the 70's and 80's, and we're thrilled to have him as a guest for his first Full Moon Roadshow appearance at a Drive-In! We can't wait to see what wild and crazy things he has planned for a Drive-In audience!

35mm programming will include a Friday night Triple Feature and a Saturday night "Dusk to Dawn" show. Classic horror trailers and vintage concession ads will be shown in between features. Horror vendors will be set up on the Midway Drive-In grounds on during the afternoons.
