It’s time once again to deck the halls, trim the tree, and get the sunscreen ready for Christmas In July! The Holiday spirit returns to the Mahoning Drive-In Theater in the middle of summer, but with a dark twist – due to popular demand, we present Christmas In July: Horror Edition!
That’s right, two nights of terror-filled double features sure to make you go “Oh, Oh, OH!” and spread Holiday fear, with four Christmas-set horror classics, all on 35mm!
On fearsome Friday, a sinister Santa stalks the streets in the notorious 80s slasher SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT (1984), featuring a memorable cameo by Linnea Quigley! Then a frenzied Father Christmas starts crossing people off the Naughty List permanently in CHRISTMAS EVIL (1980), John Waters’ favorite Holiday film and easily the best killer Santa movie starring Fiona Apple’s father.
On Saturday, we present a moving portrait of hereditary insanity, SILENT NIGHT, DEALDY NIGHT PART 2 (1987), a film that forever immortalized taking out the trash, followed by the all-time Christmas creeper, BLACK CHRISTMAS (1974), directed by Bob Clark, who’d go on to make A CHRISTMAS STORY nine years later!
Gates at 6p. Showtime at Sundown.
