Park in the dark. Try not to scream in your dreams.

The State Line Speedway is featuring classic creepy movies every Saturday night in October. Can you think of a better way to spend a chilly Saturday night than getting the holy crap scared out of you while cuddling up in a foggy-windowed car? I can … getting the holy crap scared out of you while sipping on a Peppermint Patty! The concession stands will be open and you can get your hands on everything from hot dogs to adult beverages (legally … unlike the California Coolers you smuggled in at the East Sprague Drive-In when you were in high school).

Last week was Christine (sorry, I was too busy planning my First Friday plan of attack to tell you earlier).

This Saturday it’s The Ring (which I hear is scary as hell so I probably won’t see it because I am mentally incapable of watching something really frightening and pretending it didn’t happen -– I still won’t touch a TV screen because of what happened to Carol Anne).

Next Saturday it’s my generation’s blood-sucker romance: The Lost Boys . I’m all over this one -– Jason Patrick as Michael the conflicted hot-dude-turned-vampire and his adorable little brother played by pre-reality-show Corey Haim? Tell me you didn’t wish you could be their guide through the dark recesses of the undead a la Jami Gertz.

Then the last weekend in October you’re in for a double feature -– Halloween I & II , which I won’t see either because I just watched the trailer and I’m pretty sure those 2 minutes were enough to give me nightmares for months.

All shows start at 8:30. Watch from your car, bring a lawn chair or take up residence in the grandstands – tickets are only $5 and kids under 12 get in free. Burn barrels will be blazing and popcorn will be popping. (And you might be hiding your eyes behind a blanket –- don’t say I didn’t warn you.)
