I'm glad to see that the commemorative tickets based on Andrew Kern's incredible banner art have returned for the 2025 season.
Gates opened at 5:00 for the annual Halfway To Halloween vendor market with thirty different vendors set up in the first few rows and around the concession building.
Prior to showtime, there was a nice tribute to Tony Todd who passed away five months ago. The actor is best known in the horror community for his starring role as the title character in the Candyman franchise, but his career extended far beyond that series with prominent roles in movies such as Platoon, Night Of The Dead '90, The Crow, Wishmaster, and the Final Destination series.
Last, but not least, they screened an original 1992 35mm print of the movie that made Tony Todd a horror movie icon: Candyman. It's been a long time since I've watched this. I saw it for the first time in the mid 90's on VHS as a rental from Heights Terrace Video, and I'm pretty sure that I haven't watched it all the way through since them. As is often the case, seeing it on the big screen at the drive-in gave me a new level of appreciation for this horror classic.
