Milky Way Drive-In gets spooky for Halloween with 'Fright Nights' through Oct. 31

FRANKLIN, Wis. (CBS 58) -- As Halloween nears, the Milky Way Drive-In located in the parking lot of the Ballpark Commons in Franklin, will show variety of horror films every Thursday through Sunday until the end of October. 

According to a news release, the "Fright Nights" schedule features everything from classic family haunts like GOOSEBUMPS, GHOSTBUSTERS and THE ADDAMS FAMILY, to newer bone-chillers like BABADOOK, IT, and JIGSAW.

Tickets are available online at milkywaydrivein.com for $35 per carload. Thursdays are double feature nights, with both movies for the price of one carload.

“For a whole generation of us, the drive-in was where you saw the really, really scary movies,” said Mike Zimmerman, CEO of ROC Ventures, developer of Ballpark Commons. “We are excited about offering a safe Halloween outdoor movie experience the entire month of October.”

In addition to heavyweights like CABIN IN THE WOODS, INSIDIOUS, and THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, The Milky Way “scare schedule” includes family-oriented fear flicks on Sunday early evenings, with the option of add on admission to the not-so-scary version of HILL HAS EYES which includes COVID safe trick or treating for an extra $10 per carload where kids are encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes.
