At this time the only scary movie i had seen was Dracula or Frankenstein. I didnt even have an idea what a scary movie was. My cousin got stuck watching me last minute so the adults could go out. He was in Highschool and i was maybe 6 or 7 at the time. He had a hot date he was all excited for and was a little mad so i convinced him to take me along that i wouldnt tell. His date took her little sister that was my age too. We went to the local drive in to watch it. Needless to say the drive was in the middle of the woods since we were in southern Virginia. I was so completely scared after that, that i was traumatized for like 4 years. I was up all night throwing up chili dogs, and for years after wouldnt sleep without the lights on or checking under my bed to make sure an arrow wouldnt be comming through it. However this traumatizing experience is why i love scary movies so much today especially the Friday series. I eventually started forcing myself to watch them little by little till i was a junkie of them. I couldnt have asked for a more perfect scenario to watch not only my first horror movie, but first Friday movie. First time posting check the site regularly to keep up with my fellow die hard fans. Sorry for the long post but thought you guys might like my experience. I was living in Virginia when the first Friday came out.

I will never forget it. I am still traumatized from the old man with the skeleton feet. There is still one drive-in within an hour of my house and it is packed every weekend.

A town called Townsend. Does anyone here know if there are any drive-ins close to there? I've never been to a drive-in but have always wanted to! I know this sounds stupid, but the scene in Twister when they are at the drive-in watching The Shining has always made me want to see that movie at a drive-in. That part was awesome! So anyway, if anyone on here lives in or near DE and can tell me where there may be a drive-in close by I'd really appreciate it!!! Thanks! I’m moving to Delaware in a few weeks.

The reason why I remember them is because there was a miniature golf course across the street...I would play golf and covet those who could go to see the R-rated films at the same time. …there used to be four or five drive-ins right in town…I remember “Deadly Blessing,” Motel Hell,” and “F13th Part 3″ all playing there…but I was too young to go…even though I wanted to.
