It Takes All Kinds Of Critters To Make Farmer Vincent Fritters

Motel Hell
Mahoning Drive-In Theater - Lehighton, PA
The sixth installment in the Mahoning's Thursday Thread-Up series is the 1980 cannibalistic horror classic: Motel Hell.

This screening was originally scheduled for May 16th.  It was one of the shows that was postponed due to the sad passing of drive-in legend Jeff Mattox.

We bought Harvey out to the drive-in tonight, and the little guy won Donnie's Ruff-Ruff Raffle which was announced before the trailer reel.  Harvey is now the proud owner of a stuffed monkey which he is resting his chin on as I write this.

I know that I've watched Motel Hell before this screening at the Mahoning, but I'll be damned if I can remember when.  I figured that it must have been on The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs, but it's not in the list of movies that he has hosted on Shudder.  It's not in my VHS or DVD collection, and although my memory isn't terrific, I'm pretty sure that I never rented it back in the video store days either.  Nevertheless, I am positive that I've seen it because I remembered every scene as it was happening.

If you love horror movies and haven't seen it before, I highly recommend it.  You can stream it for free on Tubi, Pluto, and The Roku Channel.
