At our local Van-Del Drive-In in Middle Point, OH (about 10 miles west of Lima, OH).

19986 Lincoln Highway
Middle Point, OH 45863

https://www.facebook.com/VanDelDriveIn/ ... =3&theater

Sunday, September 4th.
Gates open at 630pm, come early, it fills up quick on Dusk til Dawn nights.
You can bring your own food (no grills) & drink (no alcohol) without having to pay a fee like some drive-in's charge. Or you can also buy all kinds of concessions at the snack bar!

Adults $10
Kids 6-11 $6
Seniors $6
Under 5 FREE

All screens are digital & no old style drive-in speakers. You can use your car radio to tune in to each screen or bring a portable radio.

Screen's 2 & 3 are smaller than the huge original screen 1. The first 3-4 rows on screen's 2 & 3 are reserved for cars only, another reason to get there as early as possible. After those few rows, then trucks & suv's can park in any remaining rows & if you have a car & get there late or after the first few rows fill up then you might get stuck behind taller vehicles. You can bring lawn chairs too as many people do with a portable radio & move to where you can see.

Screen 1:
Don't Breathe
The Conjuring 2
The Purge: Election Year

Screen 2:
Friday the 13th (original)
A Nightmare on Elm St (original)
Alien

Screen 3:
Halloween (original)
Halloween II (original)
The Exorcist

This was a super big hit! The owner told me that they sold out screen 1, which holds 375 cars, with 2 hrs before the films started. This is the first time in probably 10-12 years that they have totally sold out screen 1. That includes dusk til dawns with Marvel movies & kids movies over the years. Horror won & he was surprised & very glad to see it being successful. Screen 2 was the one I went to & there was probably about 40-50 cars on that one. Screen 3 was almost full with about 60 cars. They said they will for sure be doing more horror dusk til dawns in the future & he wasn't aware of older films being available digital to screen.

The line-up looked amazing. I'm sorry I couldn't make it, but I'm really glad to hear it was a success.
