The Mahoning Drive-In Theater, Pennsylvania's All-Retro, 35mm Cult Phenomenon, is taking its show on the road! Join us for a special creature feature double bill of GRIZZLY (1976) and SQUIRM (1976) on 35mm. Hosted by members of the Mahoning Drive-In crew, THE MAHONING ROADSHOW brings memories of warm summer nights to cold winter months, with live introductions, Q&A’s, and more fun, recreating a night at the drive-in for indoor audiences.
About the Movies. Nature Bites Back! In our first feature, GRIZZLY attempts to capitalize off of the success of Jaws by replacing the killer shark with a man-eating grizzly bear that terrorizes a national park and employing familiar plot devices, including an heroic park ranger and a hotheaded gunman who are looking to bring this hairy menace to its knees. In our second feature, SQUIRM tells the story of a Georgia town that must survive electrified, cannibalistic earthworms which are burrowing straight from the soil right into the townsfolks’ skin!
About the Roadshow. The Mahoning Drive-In Theater is the premiere outdoor celluloid throwback destination for film fans the world over. They are bringing their love of cinema under-the-stars and the drive-in vibe to east coast theaters, screening 35mm prints of retro classics and deep cuts, along with vintage trailers, snack bar ads, and intermission reels.
Screened on prints provided by Exhumed Films. This presentation will include an intermission in between the two feature films. Proceeds from this double bill will be split to help support both the Mahoning Drive-In Theater and the Ambler Theater.
