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. So, grab a cocktail, kick back and enjoy your visit to the Weekend Drive-In!

Get Your Halloween On!
It's October! That means TONS of horror movies all month long...not to mention "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown."
In any event, Turner Classic Movies will make Mondays fun again. "Classic Horror Mondays" features old school creature features. This week, the original "The Wolf Man" kicks off the screams at 7 p.m. It's the ultimate werewolf movie and the movie that launched Lon Chaney Jr.'s career.
Upcoming scarefests worth noting include Christopher Lee in "Horror of Dracula" at 7 p.m. (CST), Oct. 17. Many people credit this 1958 classic for reviving the horror genre. Also, look for William Castle's "The Tingler," a film that had a massive publicity push in 1959...thanks to vibrating theater seats that gave audiences an extra jolt of fear. "The Tingler" airs at 10 p.m. (CST), Oct.17.
