🚨TIX SELLING FAST!🚨
On Saturday, October 17th, The Mahoning Drive-In Theater in Lehighton, PA invites you to the show of your nightmares, NIGHTMARE NIGHT, featuring a spookily whimsical family-friendly classic followed by one of the most terrifying films of the 80s!

It’s Jack Skellington vs. Freddy in a 35mm showdown on the big, BIG screen, plus a Trunk-Or-Treat before showtime to fill your bellies with all kinds of sweet treats, and show off your trunkular decorating prowess!

The evening begins with a nightmare….of holiday cheer and chills! Henry Selick’s classic stop-motion animated adventure THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS (1993), written and produced by Tim Burton, weaves Christmas and Halloween together into a musical fantasy family favorite sure to give goosebumps, be it from fright or frost, with a musical score and lead performance by Danny Elfman!

Once you’ve fed your fears with terrifyingly tasty snack bar goodies, and the kiddies are asleep (or have fled the lot), it’s time for one of the scariest films of all time!

Wes Craven’s A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET hit screens in 1984 and introduced Freddy Krueger to the world, a razor-gloved serial killer who haunts the nightmares of the children of Elm Street. The film shocked audiences and a new titan of terror and cultural phenomenon was born!

Featuring Heather Langenkamp, Johnny Depp and Amanda Wyss at the terrified teens, John Saxon, Ronee Blakely and Lin Shaye as the adults who know more about Freddy than their kids realize, and Robert Englund as Freddy!

Arrive early for themed concession and raffle items, a live DJ set, and more fun!

Gates open at 5pm, Trunk-or-Treat from 6p till showtime at 7:30!

On-Screen Costume Contest before film roll.. Come show off your costume!!

🍋TONIGHT! TONIGHT!!🍋
Annual $5 Community Day is a Flea Market this season!!! Keeping in the tradition of drive-ins;)
First 100 guests receive a Limited Edition Collectable Ticket.. So come out early starting at 5p and Stock Up (and stay for a movie)!!

The Mahoning Drive-In Theater invites you to load up the lemon and haul it on down to Honest Mahoning’s “Junk In The Trunk Flea Market”, where YOU can shop precious treasures from fellow filmgoers before a 35mm screening of Kurt Russell in Robert Zemeckis’ USED CARS (1980)!

Say you’ve got a steal of a deal? Quality merchandise piled up in your home, garage, storage unit, barn or bunkhouse? Bring it on down to The Mahoning Drive-In where, for just a little more than the price of admission, YOU can be a vendor right out of your trunk!

Unload everything from precious family heirlooms to high-quality knick-knacks and paddywhacks before the sun sets, then laugh your back bumper off with the classic 80s slob comedy USED CARS, starring Kurt Russell a year before ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, and directed by Robery Zemeckis (co-written with Bob Gale), just five years before BACK TO THE FUTURE!

It’s one of those most laugh-packed films of the decade, when an unscrupulous used car dealer with dreams of a political career sets about the previously-owned sale of the century, with a ragtag band of salespeople and the most devious sales tactics you’ve ever seen!

With Jack Warden, Gerrit Graham, Deborah Harmon, David L. Lander, Michael McKean, Joe Flaherty, Frank McRae, and Al Lewis!
