See the fun over the years!

September 1965, an EF2 tornado touched down in McClean county and continued into Ford County and the edge of Gibson City IL including the destruction of much of the Harvest Moon Drive-in. Damage included a roof flung hundreds of feet, windows shattered, walls demolished, a fence completely ripped apart and only the skeletal steel structure of the screen tower left standing. It looked like a scene directly out of a movie..... one that would arrive in 1996 when TWISTER hit the big screen at theaters and drive-ins around the world, and brought out the first sold out capacity crowd at the Harvest Moon Twin Drive-in and's 2nd screen.

In 2024, we put together the original Twisters Weather Weekend as we hosted storm chasers from across the US, live weather broadcasts, The Extreme Twister Fanatics tribute truck, storm simulator and a combo of the classic Twister followed by the new release Twisters. We held the event for 2 weekends of sold out shows and made more drive-in/Twister history.

In 2025, we're bringing it back with even more bang for you buck as we celebrate our 60th anniversary of the tornado hitting the Harvest Moon with Twisters Weather Weekend 2.0 August 22nd-24th!

Friday and Saturday 8.22-23, we are showing the double feature of Twister followed by Twisters on both screens with an epic line-up of event extras including: Storm Chaser Car Show! Chasers and local meteorologists welcome to bring chase vehicles and tell stories from real life weather events. Meet the Storm Chasers! Once again, chasers from across the Midwest are coming to see you before the show and during the intermission! Twister Tube Storm Simulator for photos and video fun. Themed food & Drinks, Photo Op Areas. The Extreme twister tribute truck is coming out for photos, reels, and bringing a slew of screen used props from the Twister museum in Wakita plus limited merch and collectible items.

And the best part.... We are bringing out Sean Whalen and possibly another special guest both nights for meet and greet, autographs and photo ops(extra charge for autographs/photo ops) with a portion of that going to Nora Harroun's memorial fundraisers. Sean is flying in from LA fresh off of releasing a new horror movie he directed and has appeared in HUNDREDS of hit movies, ads, shows and more! He'll be doing a Q&A along with the event Friday and Saturday night.

Tickets will go on sale this weekend and the admission covers the meet and greet on Friday/Saturday and many of the extras. Admission for this exclusive event is $15 for adults(age 12 & up) and $10 for kids(age 4-11) with little ones age 3 and younger free. Food Permits, special parking, rentals etc. still apply at regular prices.

Sunday night we will still have the event with some of the extras, but are just hosting the screening on Screen 1 and the celebrity guests are not able to attend the Sunday night show. Regular admission rates apply to Sunday night.

Looking to see a rocking new movie with some local talent? Join us Sunday August 24th on screen 2 as we celebrate the 5th Anniversary of the first post-covid rock and roll shows in the US and host a special night featuring the new Local H movie LIFERS followed by Phantasm as a double feature. Scott Lucas will be here for a special introduction to the movie, there will be posters and possibly other Local H merch available, and a Q&A after the Lifers movie during the intermission before Phantasm starts. It promises to be an unforgettable night under the stars.

Gates open at 7pm, movie will start around 8:20 pm. Snack Bar is open for dining options with specials for this event and our Twisters event on the opposite screen.

LIFERS- "LIFERS" is a movie about the band Local H, written, directed, and edited by their singer/guitarist Scott Lucas. It blends elements of a documentary and a concert film, capturing a real-time performance at the Metro in Chicago, along with the experiences of concert-goers. The film is described as a "borderline psychedelic cinematic rock n' roll experience". It's not strictly a documentary or a concert film, but a hybrid, similar to Led Zeppelin's "The Song Remains The Same" and Richard Linklater's "Slacker".

PHANTASM- The residents of a small town have begun dying under strange circumstances, leading young Mike (Michael Baldwin) to investigate. After discovering that the Tall Man (Angus Scrimm), the town's mortician, is killing and reanimating the dead as misshapen zombies, Mike seeks help from his older brother, Jody (Bill Thornbury), and local ice cream man Reggie (Reggie Bannister). Working together, they try to lure out and kill the Tall Man, all the while avoiding his minions and a deadly silver sphere.

Following Local H tradition, tickets are affordable and available now on our website DRIVE-IN.FUN in the regular ticketing links at normal movie admission prices.

More info coming soon.
