● 👋 Meeting and greeting fans!

Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering Satan’s Little Helper for the first time, how often do you get to watch a horror movie at the drive-in WITH the person who made it?! 😱🎬

Come early, grab some snacks, meet Jeff, and settle in for a wonderfully wicked night at the movies!

🍿 A LITTLE SCHEDULING NOTE:
There will be no movies Sunday through Thursday, October 18–22. We’ll reopen Friday, October 23, for our FINAL WEEKEND of the 2026 season! 🎄🎬

It’s ALMOST closing time, MDI Fam! 🎬🎄

Our final weekend of the 2026 season will be Friday & Saturday, October 23rd & 24th.

We know. 😭 We’re going to miss all of you, too.

Now, before anyone comes for us because we’re playing CHRISTMAS MOVIES BEFORE HALLOWEEN… 😂🎃🎄 (I personally almost locked us all up for this crime.)

Remember: for the last few years, it’s become a little MDI tradition to send off the season with Christmas movies. Our season is just wrapping up a little earlier this year, so Christmas is arriving at the drive-in a little earlier, too. 🤷‍♀️

Think of it as less “Christmas before Halloween” and more “one last cozy night at the drive-in before we say goodbye until spring.” ❤️ Does that make it any less rage-inducing? We hope so. 🫶🏻

And since it’s our final weekend… we figured we might as well make a whole thing out of it. 👀🎅🍿

More details coming soon!
