On the weekend of April 24-25, DVD Drive-In and the Riverside Drive-In in Vandergrift, Pa, hosted the third annual April Ghouls Drive-In Monster-Rama. This springtime festival of 1970s and 1980s exploitation horror-films, now in its third year, is the more recent sister to September’s glorious Drive-In Super Monster-Rama. This latter event, which will enjoy its ninth incarnation this coming autumn, generally features a slate of more “traditional” monster movies from the 1960s and 1970s. Neither weekend of programming should be missed by any horror film devotee with access to an automobile. The intent of the original Drive-In Super Monster-Rama (first presented at the Riverside in 2007) was to authentically re-create the ambiance of the all-night drive-in theater spook shows of the 1960s and 1970s. In this regard, the event succeeds in every possible manner.

Flyboy, Leatherface, Ash, possessed teenagers, and hordes of the living dead will grace the silver screen at Vandergrift, Pennsylvania's Riverside Drive-In this weekend. One of our favorite events of the year, the April Ghouls Drive-In Monster-Rama features back-to-back evenings of horror movie marathons, with this year's event featuring screenings of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The Evil Dead, Night of the Demons, the Dcp of George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead, and more.

Held every year in April (as an extension of September's Drive-In Super Monster-Rama), the April Ghouls Drive-In Monster-Rama shows eight horror movies (usually all from the ’70s and ’80s) over two nights on a huge drive-in screen in Vandergrift, Pa's Riverside Drive-In Theatre (mere miles away from the Monroeville Mall, where Romero filmed Dawn of the Dead).

Special guest Paul Musser, the "Plaid Shirt Zombie" whose head was used in the original promotional posters for Dawn of the Dead,...

Okay, so here’s a quick question for you all … how many dog owners amongst you have suddenly experienced man’s best friend exhibit unusually disturbing behavioural tics after sitting them down in front of the television and watching a few horror movies together?

Anyone? No? No sudden canine savagery? No impulsive howling at the moon? No gratuitous tearing of flesh? No violent rending of bone? Not even any unwelcome soiling of carpets?

I only ask this question as, in regards to the Video Nasties furore of the mid-Eighties, Conservative MP Graham Bright once (in)famously appeared on television and categorically stated that “I believe there is research taking place and it will show that these films not only affect young people … but I believe they affect dogs as well.”

But regardless of whether such research will mean poor Fido sadly misses out on his one opportunity to catch “The Beast In Heat...
