Illinois Drive In Brings Back Dusk To Dawn Horror Fest

A popular drive in movie theater in Illinois announced its annual from dusk to dawn horror movie marathon for this fall.

Illinois Drive In Movie Theater To Host Annual Dusk To Dawn Horror Movie Fest

I'm a huge fan of old school horror movies. I grew up watching them. The best to experience a scary film is on the big screen. Even better is to check them out at a drive in movie theater. Think about how creepy it will be to be at an outdoor theater in the middle of nowhere and very late at night. It's the perfect situation. This is a very rare opportunity to see horror movies in this kind of environment.
