Cult of the Drive-in

Planning a double feature? The Monster Squad was released in this date in 1987, and Freddy vs Jason came out on this date in 2003.

Drive-in etiquette: Keep your headlights off during the feature films.

"But..."

Shh. No buts. Lights off.

I'm kind of there myself - not as a fiction author, but as someone who made a game. And it's not about money necessarily. It's just the validation of knowing people like a thing you made.

FWIW, you're not alone.

-Brian

Just a reminder: There is no gatekeeping a the Cult of the Drive-in.

Except that we do have to close the gate when the sun comes up in the morning. Sorry, but we need time to clean up the place and make sure it's ready for the next night's screenings.

But then everybody's welcome.
