HOW TO:  

Make sure when you purchase your ticket(s), you do the following:

1)PURCHASE AN EARLY BIRD ($23) or DAY OF TICKET ($28) which includes the car fee and the first ticket for the driver.

2) GO TO ADD ONS: Purchas an additional $8 per person ticket for each person after the driver in the car. We will be doing a count at the gate. 

As long as you have the EARLY BIRD or DAY OF ticket, you can always pay at the gate for additional people in your car. 

3)PRE-ORDER ANY CONCESSIONS you would like from the additional Add-Ons. You can pick up all concessions 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 always 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. 

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 bring a larger car, arrive as near to when we open our gates as possible to get the best possible space.  

Our 2020 season with Electric Dusk Drive In  https://www.electricduskdrivein.com/) comes to a close with our holiday finale screening of HOME ALONE.

It seems fitting that we end our movie with John Hughes written classic since we started it in August with a John Hughes penned classic (FERRIS BUELLER’S DAY OFF).

Here, Hughes turns his comedy and brilliance to the story of poor Kevin McAllister who accidentally gets left behind at his Chicago house by his family in a rush to get to the airport for their vacation. 

While Kevin’s Mom desperately does everything to get back to her son, Kevin discovers being home alone is actually pretty awesome. . .until two petty thieves begin to case his house for a holiday robbery.

And the rest is. . .well. . .holiday history.  Kevin realizes he’s going to have to outsmart the (not so bright) robbers with a series of ingenious booby traps in his house. And so the game cat and mouse begins.

A now beloved holiday classic, HOME ALONE which showcases the importance of creativity, resourcefulness, and determination is probably just the right movie to close out our season and 2020.  We’ll need all those traits as we rise in 2021 to begin the hard work of repairing/restoring/returning to normalcy. 

 Best always,
