      One did here! We went to see this there last month, because they were doing free monster and horror movies on weeknights in October.

      It was even the subtitled version!

      The cool thing now is they don’t do the hanging the speaker in the window thing anymore. You just tune your car to a radio frequency they tell you when you enter.

        The car radio thing only came in here (Oz) in their twilight years just as VCRs and VHS rental became a thing, but it was fabulous to hear a movie IN STEREO! with decent Bass.

        Most of the ones that I used to frequent are now shopping centre carparks.

        My drive-in still has the window speakers, but also has the radio option too. I think we only went once this year, for Deadpool and Wolverine.

          This is the only time we went this year. What’s nice about not having the window speakers is they got rid of the poles, so they have a big space they can use for other events during the day. Like they did a Trunk-or-Treat there last month.

      The one by our house picked up quite a bit during COVID. It’s slowed down a little since, but it seems in a more healthy state than it was preCOVID.

      Great thought, but parking nowadays costs more than anybody would want to pay to see a movie lol.

      Alternate idea - watch a virtual drive-in movie on VR goggles while sitting in your car.
