FINALLY, WE WILL OCCASIONALLY BE SELLING ALTERNATE DESIGN MOVIE POSTERS DONE BY INCREDIBLE CURRENT GRAPHIC DESIGNERS.

PARKING LOT: Glendale Sears Parking Lot, 211 W. California Avenue Street, Glendale, CA 91203
HOW TO:
Make sure when you purchase your ticket(s), you do the following:
1)PURCHASE A SINGLE EARLY BIRD ($23) or DAY OF TICKET ($28) which includes the car fee and the first ticket for the driver. This gets you into the FEATURE you select by title.
2) GO TO ADD ONS: Purchase an additional $8 per person ticket for however many passengers other than the Driver will be in the car. You can always add people at the gate as long as you have purchased the EARLY BIRD or DAY OF CAR + DRIVER TICKET.
3)PRE-ORDER ANY CONCESSIONS OR MOVIE MERCHANDISE you would like from the additional Add-Ons. You can pick up all concessions & merchandise at our table in the middle of the Parking Lot.
To attend, you need a car with an FM radio or a handheld radio you bring yourself. We will space out cars to make sure folks can safely maintain 6 feet of distance. We ask that folks stay in their cars unless they are picking up concessions or using the restroom. Whenever you are out of your car, you are required to wear a mask for everyone’s safety.
IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, PLEASE BRING A SMALL OR REGULAR SIZED CAR (sedan sized or smaller). We want to make sure EVERYONE gets a great space. SUVS, TRUCKS, CARS WITH HIGH ROOFS/RACKS/ITEMS ON ROOF often have to be parked further away from the screen to avoid sightline issues.
If you bring a larger car, arrive as near to when we open our gates as possible to get the best possible space.
We are proud to continue our partnership with ELECTRIC DUSK DRIVE IN (https://www.electricduskdrivein.com) into April 2021!
We wrap up our little mini-Ari Aster fest with Aster’s horrifying stomach dropping horror debut Hereditary. Before Aster decided to set himself the challenge of a horror movie in summer daylight with Midsommar, he descended into the depths of night and creepy houses with Hereditary, a very nifty riff on Rosemary’s Baby while still being very much it’s own thing.
We meet Annie (a never better Toni Collette), an artist of miniatures, just after her strange mother’s death. Annie, her husband Steve, and their two children Peter and Charlie, move into grandma’s creepy house only to discover themselves, bit by bit, being affected by a strange unworldly power within it.
Charlie, the young daughter, specifically seems to be under some kind of spell and may in fact be communicating with grandmother from beyond the dead.
When a horrific tragedy befalls the family, things only get weirder when a seemingly friendly woman named Joan, takes too much of an interest in Annie’s family.
What’s going on? Will the family survive or be torn apart by these strange dark forces? Join us for our cult film Thursday to watch one of the most horrifying movies of the last ten years.
Best always,
Craig Hammill
35mm Secret Movie Club Founder.Programmer
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR OUR PARKING LOT CINEMA SERIES
REFUNDS:
We can offer refunds up to 24 hours before showtime. Please request a refund through Eventbrite and we will process ASAP. After that, no refunds. Sorry.
HELPFUL PARKING LOT CINEMA TIPS:
Please make sure you know how to hit off your car headlights before attending. For newer cars, the process is usually:
1. Activate the Parking Break.
2. Make sure the lights are switched to off.
3. Then turn the car on. The lights will stay off unless they are manually turned on. Repeat the process to turn them off again.
Bring warm clothes, blankets, a few layers just in case it gets chilly and you don’t want to run your car the entire movie (although you totally can if you want).
Make sure you know how to work your CAR RADIO so you can TUNE to any frequency you want.
The earlier you arrive, the better space/closer to the screen you will get! Once you get parked, you can totally leave the lot, go to get food, come back.
HOW CAN I CONTACT YOU IF I HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS:
You can always email us at community@secretmovieclub.com or sales@electricduskdrivein.com with any other questions, concerns, thoughts, recommendations.
