In 1948 there were 820 Drive-ins, by 1958 the number had grown to 4,063. All those Drive-ins needed Movies and Hollywood was happy to crank them out. The plots were thin, the acting was bad, the special effects were crude. No one seemed to mind, the movie was only an excuse to be alone in a dark car with your girlfriend. Something to do between "make-out sessions". Some of the more popular movies were the Sci-Fi and Horror movies, this was the best way to get your date to cling to you. (Okay, the secret is out!!). On the next page are some movie posters of films that played in Stanton while we were in school. It's interesting to note that some of the better artwork is from movies that were not very good. Also remember that the posters were in color but most of the films were black and white. Most films played at the drive-ins were NOT big budget items, but like I said, no one cared.
