"What drove Hollingshead out into the yard is a mystery. Perhaps he had spent to many dull evenings parking in lovers'
lanes, discovering much to late that he would rather have gone to the movies.
Or, maybe he was just a man who knew
a nation addicted to wheels when he saw one."
New York Times
June 25, 1978
The largest Drive-In Theater was the All-Weather in Copiague, New York with parking spaces for 2,500 cars and indoor
seating for 1,200.
Among the smallest were the Harmony Drive-In, Harmony Pennsylvania and The Highway Drive-In, Bamberg, South Carolina. Each
theatre could accommodate 50 cars.
From the Charleroi Mail of July 3rd, 1956:
The "All-Nite Horror Show" was a staple of the drive-in, helping it
to earn the nickname "passion pit."
Anyway
there is nothing frightening about the four films listed above
(even if you have "weak heart").
At least there is
"free donuts & coffee at dawn."
