Aiming to capture a younger, family-oriented market, a new drive-in movie theater has opened in Buda, in the Texas Hill Country. Chris Denny, the drive-in owner, is hoping to provide younger audiences with the type of experiences he had after discovering a drive-in theater in his teenage years.
“If you bring a date you can actually talk with them,” Denny told kxan.com. “You bring the family, you can talk with them, interact with them.” The two-screen operation called Doc’s Drive In Theatre opened on Friday, October 12 on Buda’s east side with double features of “Rear Window” and “The Addams Family” on one screen and “The Addams Family” and “Goonies” on the other. Leading up to Halloween, Doc’s showed movies such as “Beetlejuice,” “House on Haunted Hill,” “Sleepy Hollow,” and “Ghost.” More great classic films are coming up in the weekends ahead. The theater promises a delightful time for parents and grandparents to relive their favorite moviegoing experiences while the kids get to see these blockbusters of yesteryear for the first time!
