I would guess that most people here, have never been in a drive in, pajamas or not ;D

I've been to a drive-in, but have only ever watched a movie at one.

Why would people not go to drive-ins?  Do they not have them in NH?

I don't know about NH but in most of northeast metro area land is to costly
to use for drive-ins. The last one on Long Island closed in the late 90's.

Northfield Drive-in
Weirs Drive-in
and the Milford Twin Drive-in

Same here.

I think another factor being, the sound/audio equipment of most drive-ins was pretty archaic, so as most drive-ins were not capable of generating large profits they could not keep up withe quality compared to indoor theaters. The last movie I saw at a drive-in was E.T. so perhaps my reference is a bit dated.  ;D

Theres def. a nostalgic feeling associated with drive-ins for me, but for actually watching a movie, I prefer indoor theaters.  :blush:

When I was a kid we were within a 5 mile drive to about 4 drive-ins.  One night every few weeks my parents, with us 3 kids in pajamas in the back seat, with thermoses  of coffee and milk and apple turnovers from the local bakery would go to a drive-in. Usually the first film was family faire, followed by a cartoon.  The second movie was often not family faire.  The theory was that we would be asleep by them, but, I saw 'night of the Hunter' from the back seat at about 8 years old. It scared the Hell out of me! I was a little older when I saw the 'risque'  'Anatomy of a Murder'.

I don't know, I totally love drive-ins.  You get to smoke and fart, (the kids (farting not smoking) of course, not me), without anybody around! :)
