Update: Sadly we won't be able to make Friday's screenings, but Jonathan will be attending Saturday night. If you're a Daily Dead reader and want to meet up, send us an email! Original Story: In 2017 the horror genre lost a legend with the passing of Tobe Hooper, and this year's April Ghouls Drive-In Monster-Rama will pay tribute to the influential and innovative filmmaker on the first night of their two-day silver screen celebration.
A companion marathon to September's Drive-In Super Monster-Rama (one of Daily Dead's favorite events of the year), this year's April Ghouls Drive-In Monster-Rama takes place April 27th–28th at the Riverside Drive-In Theatre in Vandergrift, PA.
Beginning at dusk and stretching into the late hours of the night, the first part of this year's April Ghouls marathon will be a Tobe Hooper remembrance night, with screenings of Poltergeist (1982), Lifeforce, The Funhouse, and Invaders From Mars (1986). The second night of April Ghouls will celebrate creature features with screenings of Alligator, The Boogens, Critters, and The Deadly Spawn.
Tickets are $10.00 for an adult each night, with overnight camping also priced at $10.00 per adult. You can read the full lineup below, and to learn more about this year's April Ghouls Drive-In Monster-Rama, visit DVD Drive-In and the event's official Facebook page.

Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
