Overview
Friday night at the Orbit Drive-in: a circus of noise, sex, teenage hormones, B-movie blood, and popcorn. On a cool, crisp summer night, with the Texas stars shining down like rattlesnake eyes, movie-goers for the All-Night Horror Show are trapped in the drive-in by a demonic-looking comet. Then the fun begins. If the movie-goers try to leave, their bodies dissolve into goo. Cowboys are reduced to tears. Lovers quarrel. Bikini-clad women let their stomachs’ sag, having lost the ambition to hold them in. The world outside the six monstrous screens fades to black while the movie-goers spiral into base humanity, resorting to fighting, murdering, crucifying, and cannibalizing to survive. Part dark comedy part horror show, Lansdale's cult Drive-In books are as shocking and entertaining today as they were 20 years ago.Editorials
Library Journal -
As the title states, this combines Lansdale's gore fest Drive-In trilogy (Book One: A B-Movie with Blood and Popcorn, Made in Texas; Book Two: Not Just One of Them Sequels; and Book Three: The Bus Tour) in a single volume. The best description of Lansdale's series is "it's Roger Corman for the literary set." The volume also sports an intro by Bubba Ho-Tep director Don Coscarrelli and concept art from the defunct film version. Another sweet deal.
