About This Book
Creature Features
Imagine: six giant screens, each six stories high, with six different splatter films running simultaneously. Its just another Friday All-Night Horror Show at the Orbit--until a blood-red comet sweeps past and leaves the Texas drive-in awash in flickering sparks, a tiny island marooned in a carnivorous black void. Soon the captive audience falls under the sway of the Popcorn King, a rabid, one-eyed, two-mouthed monster who leads his followers on a mad orgy of savagery, murder and cannibalism. Soon reality itself will become more horrifying than any movie--a reel-to-reel living nightmare played out in flesh and blood!
Wildly original, darkly comic and just plain scary as hell, Joe R. Lansdale's The Drive In is an irreverent, raunchy, terrifyingly important novel complete with monsters, gore, bikinis, bikers, nudity, crucifixions, cults, plenty of gratuitous violence--and, of course, an edifying moral.
