We'll be back on-screen Saturday and Sunday for ANACONDA and THE SPONGEBOB MOVIE!
On January 16, 17, & 18, a legendary tradition returns to Shankweiler's Drive-In Theatre! John Carpenter's sub-zero shocker, THE THING, will be presented as a double feature with Stanley Kubrick's equally chilling masterpiece, THE SHINING!

Jack Black and Paul Rudd star in this unique spirited “sequel” to the 1997 creature feature that became a pop-cult sensation, ANACONDA. This movie takes the idea of a remake in a wacky and fun new direction. Plus, there's a giant snake (spoilers?), and maybe even a surprise cameo or two!
