In spite of the heat and humidity, decided to do another outdoor showing last Saturday night.
Cleaned out my shed and put a screen in there for a little Super 8 'Daylight viewing',worked out pretty well!

A Mr. Magoo episode

and Blob digest.

It FINALLY started to get dark, so I started with a scope Star Wars trailer

Followed by Raiders of the Lost Ark....

Even though it was getting late, I decided to put on my recently required (thanks Franchetti's!) Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?

Reel 1 ended at 2am, and I just couldn't keep going, so I hung it up for the night (hence the title of this post).

Pretty good film so far - although, I have to say, I don't really know what's wrong with Baby Jane - she seems pretty normal...

I like your camper, Mike!

I've thought of putting ours up and hanging my screen on the back wall for an outdoor show!

I have to get back to this: I'm a big fan of drive-in cinema and it makes sense for me to take the action outdoors. The first time I tried it I actually succeeded in getting rained on (Ever try to run in the house with a hot projector stuffed under your shirt?), but as a camper this kind of thing shouldn't deter me at all!

Thanks Steve! Actually going to break the camper out in about a week for a few days in PA, will be the first time the whole family camps in it (usually just my boys and I). Should be fun!
