“Race with the Devil” and Drive-In Movie Memories

From time to time you’ll hear me talking about a type of film that I refer to as a drive-in movie.  I was fortunate enough to grow up when drive-in theaters were everywhere.  Drive-in theaters were inexpensive and fun, always offering at the very least a double feature of second run movies, low budget films and often theme nights (Charles Bronson movies, horror movies, well, you get the idea).

Brad Gullickson at Film School Rejects writes about a movie that definitely fits my criteria of a drive-in movie.  Race with the Devil is a low-budget movie featuring Peter Fonda and Warren Oates as a couple of buddies who with their wives stumble on a Satanic human sacrifice while camping out.  Before you can say, “Run!” the Satanists are after them with the thought of four more sacrifices.
