Drive In Massacre (1977)


Directed by Stu Segall
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Cheezy Flicks)

Ultra low budget regional horror hit from California with a sword wielding murderer on the rampage at a drive in. The suspect pool consists of the scuzzy drive in manager who treats his employees like dirt, the weird guy who directs traffic with a flashlight and sweeps up after everyone is gone and the peeping tom who leaves his car to spy on other patrons making out. A couple of fat cops question people and even go undercover in drag. There is a sequence at a real carnival, which looks exactly like the fair I went to as a kid, and together with the real drive in setting partially makes up for the poor acting and bad script.
