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 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: Purchase 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 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.  

Our partnership with Electric Dusk Drive In  https://www.electricduskdrivein.com/) kicks off in 2021 with a mini “Winter Wonderland” January series. 

Winter can mean snow days, Christmas, New Year’s and family together time with chestnuts and toasty fires. But it can also mean cabin fever, white outs, and scary creepy ghosts.

Possibly the greatest winter horror movie of all time, THE SHINING is definitely not a heart warming family film. Instead, singular moviemaker Stanley Kubrick takes Stephen King’s horror yarn about alcoholic writer Jack Torrance who brings his wife Wendy and son Danny to the remote Colorado Overlook Hotel to be its caretakers across a winter and makes one of the greatest scary movies of all time.

Danny Torrance has “The Shining”, a gift (or curse) that allows him to see into the future, as well as communicate with the dead. Almost immediately Danny has visions of murdered twin girls, elevators full of blood, other strange goings on at the hotel.

Meanwhile Jack (a never wilder Jack Nicholson) begins to lose his mind as the haunted hotel focuses on corrupting him to kill his wife and son.

One of the all-time great “haunted house” movies, THE SHINING builds to a operatic horror climax that moviemakers have been chasing (and rarely equaling) ever since. 

Best always,
