SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT (1984)
Santa Claus is coming to town . . . and this time he’s got an axe! Community leaders tried to stop it. The P.T.A. fought to ban it. Now, one of the most controversial slasher films of all time is back in a new restoration from the original camera negative. SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT is the demented story of little Billy Chapman, traumatized by his parents’ Christmas Eve murder and then brutalized by sadistic nuns in an orphanage. When Billy grows up and dresses as Santa, he goes on a yuletide rampage to punish the naughty with extreme prejudice. Robert Brian Wilson and Linnea Quigley (NIGHT OF THE DEMONS) star in this harrowing horror classic that continues to ruffle the feathers of angry parents and stuffy critics over thirty years later.
Add on New Year's Evil to make it a Holiday Horror Double Feature.
NEW YEAR’S EVIL (1980) - 40th Anniversary Screening!
During a New Year's Eve celebration, a Los Angeles disc jockey receives a phone call saying that when New Year's strikes in each time zone, someone will be murdered - and she will be the last one.

DRIVE-IN ETIQUETTE:
Please no honking after the screening. You can flash your headlights for "clapping."
Don't Forget To Turn Your Engine On Every So Often To Keep Your Battery Charged!
As you will be running your battery non-stop so that you can listen to the film on FM, you run the risk of killing your battery. We are always ready to go with the jumper cables for those who need them!, but to eliminate the risk of your battery dying, remember to turn your car on every once in a while.
...DON'T Keep Your Headlights on!
Some cars have headlights that automatically turn on when the engine is turned over. There's generally a setting to eliminate that -- please make an effort to switch that setting so that your headlights don't beam on when you power on your car, as headlights wipe out the image on the screen. We will have cardboard and tablecloths on hand for cars that may need help with this -- let an attendant know if you need materials to cover your headlights.
Watch Your Dome Lights And Brake Pedal.
We understand that sometimes you have to flick on the dome light to look for something in your car, but please don't have your dome light on for a stretched period of time -- and certainly, not through the entire film. Any light proves very distracting to the audience around you. And lastly -- we understand that it sometimes feels instinctual to do so, but please make an effort to keep your foot off your brake pedal. In a dark environment, brake lights provide quite the surprising glow.
