Welcome to the Weekend Drive-In! Some guys spend the weekends watching sports. I, however, dedicate every weekend to B-movies, classic TV shows, rock n’ roll, comics and other “drive-in” style fare. Stay tuned to this blog for news, reviews and previews of what’s on cable/satellite TV each weekend. Also look for updates from the world of cult films, rock music and similar-minded topics.

Boris Karloff's Creepiest Movie
Targets (Theatrical Trailer)
Uploaded by NakedBrotha2007. - Classic TV and last night's shows, online.
Peter Bogdanovich's "Targets" marked one of the the final screen appearances of screen legend Boris Karloff. In this feature, Karloff plays aging horror star Byron Orlock who comes to face-to-face with a modern day monster -- a crazed sniper. This late 1960s classic is available courtesty of Flix at 9:30 a.m., tomorrow, Dec. 23.
This movie was released following Charles Whitman's rampage at the University of Texas, so it offered audiences a different (and very realistic) type of horror film. It may very well strike a chord with contemporary viewers as well considering recent tragedies such as those at Fort Hood and Columbine High School.
