Ahh, I love these old reels. My wife and I used to visit the Starlite Drive-In in Wichita, KS before we moved back to Colorado--a triple feature for ten bucks! There's another drive-in close to us, but it's obviously closed during the winter season. So my wife and I occasionally do Home Drive-In Nights when we can't get to the real deal.
I download these old intermission reels from the internet, as well as a bunch of vintage movie trailers and play them between movies that we stream from Netflix. For authenticity, we set up a little Snack Bar in the kitchen, complete with theater boxes of candy and popcorn, and get giant fountain drinks from 7-11. It's a lot of fun, and tides us over until the drive-in opens back up.
The 7th son of a 7th son born at 7:00 a.m. on the 7th day of the week,Johnny Thunderis the illegitimate love child of Aquanetta the Jungle Woman and Dynamo Dan the Electric Man. After a globe-trotting, misspent youth which included stints as a sauerkraut-juggling carnie, a fetish pin-up model, and several months as Barnabas Collins’ personal assistant, Johnny became the ward of the kindly Dr. Frank N. Stein. Along with his newfound step-soul brother Blackenstein, Johnny took an early interest in Halloween, horror films, novels and comic books. Later, Johnny attended the prestigious Cool Ghoul Academy in Transylvania where he earned his Master of Scaremonies degree with a major in "Monster Movies" and a minor in "Awesomeness". He dazzles audiences & demonstrates what an amazing talent he truly is as co-host of the spooktacular Shocktail Hour, and previously hypnotized minions in his segment "Fright Flicks" on Hauntcast. During the month of October, you can find him haunting the grounds of The Bates Motel & Haunted Hayride, as well as his own yard haunt. Johnny resides in stately Thunder Manor on Sugar Hill with his wonderful wife and daughter.
