Update: After I posted this piece, I was contacted by Fresh Air Cinema and asked to remove the titles of the films being shown due to licensing restrictions. So to find out what’s playing, please visit the Halloween Drive In site.
Just in time for Halloween, Fresh Air Cinema is erecting a four-story-high drive-in movie screen at 200 West 1st Avenue, Vancouver, (just east of the Cambie Street Bridge, formerly the ‘Cavalia’ venue site) to show two classic, family-friendly Halloween movies on Friday, October 28, and Saturday, October 29.
Called the Halloween Drive In, this outdoor venue will be a traditional “drive in” movie theatre: cars will be parked in front of the screen, just as they would at any old-fashioned drive-in movie. It’s $20 per car, but the movies are FREE for anyone walking in or on their bikes. (It’s just a few blocks to the Halloween Drive-In from the Broadway-City Hall Canada Line station, so walking in will be easy!)
If you want the thrill of seeing a drive-in movie in your car, organizers recommend buying your tickets ahead of time via the website. Use a Zip Car? The first 10 Zip Cars will get a $10 Zip Car driving credit plus a goodie bag of treats.
You’ll find the titles of the two Halloween Drive In movies, plus trailers, at the Halloween Drive In site.
Have more tips for FREE Halloween fun (aside from Trick or Treat)? I’d love to hear from you in the comments.

It’s actually EAST of Cambie St. Bridge, not west.

Thanks K. Their website says “just west of Cambie Bridge” so that’s what I included. Thanks for pointing out that it’s actually east of the Bridge.

Yeah – that’s a mistake – if you could change that would be great :o)
