MegatronG1 · 09-09-2019, 09:06 AM

Night of the Creeps, The Blob (1988), The Thing, The Fly

MJD64 · 09-09-2019, 09:07 AM

A triple-feature of FRIGHT NIGHT, THE LOST BOYS and NEAR DARK.

Mothravka · 09-09-2019, 09:10 AM

A good week with one film per day would look like this:

Angst (1983, Gerald Kargl)
Dead Ringers (1988, David Cronenberg)
Possession (1981, Andrzej Zulawski)
Tenebre (1982, Dario Argento)
The Shining (1980, Stanley Kubrick)
The Thing (1982, John Carpenter)
Videodrome (1983, David Cronenberg)

UltraMario9 · 09-09-2019, 10:34 AM

The Blob (1988)

Leslie Dame · 09-09-2019, 10:41 AM

The Nesting (1981) and The Hearse (1980)

Not reference horror material but both fulfil plenty of "requirements" for a fun double feature at the drive-in: a bit on the campy side, plenty of cheap thrills and jump scares with two sympathetic female leads facing all kind of horror and the supernatural.
Both movies also have strong similarities and themes, making it a perfect pairing for the drive-in.

atomik kinder · 09-14-2021, 09:18 PM

Actually saw A Nightmare on Elm Street at the drive in.

Drive ins to me are synonomus with summer so any movies set during that season, or featuring cars for that matter seem up my ally.

Lost Boys comes to mind
Night of the Creeps

Rich65 · 09-15-2021, 08:27 AM

The Howling and An American Werewolf in London.

Martoto · 09-15-2021, 09:18 AM

It really doesn’t matter what movie you show at a drive in.

Prince Of Darkness and Evil Dead would make sense because they don’t really have plots. Just an ever evolving parade of craziness.

CreasyBear · 09-15-2021, 09:45 AM

Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
The Fog (1980)
Return of the Living Dead
Fright Night (1985)
