It’s summer and time to get your schlock on at the drive-in!
Exhumed Films and the Mahoning Drive-In Theater present SCHLOCK-O-RAMA VIII on July 26 & 27!
For this year’s event, we’re reveling in the wild and wooly world of regional and grindhouse horrors of the 1970s with two far-fetched & fun nights of rampaging vegetables, giant rats and killer cats on Friday night, and an onslaught of human beasts, bloodsuckers, blood cults and love-starved bee girls on Saturday!
THIS is what going to the drive-in was all about, and it’s going to be one incredibly strange weekend of psychotronic cinema excess that you won’t want to miss!
