October, we meet again. The leaves are starting to fall, the dead starting to arise, and drive-in theaters are back in demand. The Chicago Film Scene is here to cover the much anticipated "Music Box of Horrors" event throughout the month of yes, you guessed it, October. The Music Box is partnering with the Chi-Town Movies Drive-In to bring Chicago thirty-one nights of terror! Today we are here to give you the basic information, but please proceed with caution. This year's lineup is a mix of old and new, grind-house and rip-offs. Below are the dates and times included with other info from https://musicboxtheatre.com/events/music-box-of-horrors-at-the-drive-in-presented-by-shudder. So sit back, play your best Twin Peaks ambient instrumental music, and buy a ticket. Happy best month of the year!
The Brain-Eating Facts
With mind-melting visuals and high body counts, this year's lineup is perfectly in line with the Music Box's eclectic taste in horror offerings and events—a combination of audience favorites and rarely screened titles, specialized intros, pre-show content, filmmaker Q&As, nightly trivia with fantastic prizes, and of course, some surprises. Every element will be presented safely & responsibly in the Drive-In setting.
All screenings take place at Chi-Town Movies Drive-In located at 2343 S Throop St, Chicago, IL 60608. Drive-In Admittance begins 30 minutes prior to the film's listed start time.

FILM INFORMATION I
On Fridays, we celebrate the movies your parents warned you about! Long since replaced by bland suburban multiplexes, grindhouse theaters reveled in humanity’s underbelly with twisted double features designed to turn your stomach, offend your sensibilities, and make you scream. Whether it be exploitation, splatter, perverse, transgressive, or just plain gross, Fridays are for sickos—and we can't wait!
