A new Stranger Things drive-in experience is coming
Grab your candy and popcorn, everybody! We’re headed to a Stranger Things drive-in. There’s nothing quite like a drive-in movie theater. Laying on blankets in the trunk of your car, surrounded by snacks from home that you weren’t supposed to bring, going to see a movie at a drive-in is a unique summer experience.
Drive-in movie theaters are actually not as common as you may think. Back in the 1950s, drive-in theaters were at the peak of popularity, with thousands open all across the United States. Nowadays, that number has dwindled quite a bit. According to DriveInMovie, there are only about 325 drive-in theaters still functioning in the nation today.
If you love going to the drive-in, or if you’ve always wanted to go but never had the chance, then you’re going to want to hear about Secret Cinema‘s new project.
As reported by Deadline, the London-based entertainment company is joining forces with Netflix to bring U.S. fans Stranger Things: The Drive-Into Experience.
Much like drive-in theaters, Stranger Things has a very retro vibe, so I am over the moon about this particular mash-up. Stranger Things is a show that’s larger-than-life, so seeing it projected on one of those huge drive-in theater screens would be such a wonderful experience.
Created with the COVID-19 pandemic in mind, the Stranger Things drive-in will allow attendees to watch the fan-favorite Netflix series from the comfort of their cars. This event sounds like so much fun, and it makes me wonder if Secret Cinema will utilize an already existing drive-in, or build one to suit their specific needs for the project.
As of right now, there are no details about how you can score a ticket to participate in the upcoming Stranger Things drive-in, but we will certainly keep you updated!
