In the words of the inimitable William Shakespeare -

Fire burn and cauldron bubble'%%

Halloween is almost upon us! And, what better way to celebrate the warding off of ghosts than by having a double dipping of spooky 80's cult classic movies … two nights in a row!



Starry Nights Outdoor Movies are doing their creepy best to put the boo-tiful back into 2020 with some fang-tastic entertainment for movie lovers at the Eumundi Drive-In on the Sunshine Coast. Movie audiences have been regularly stopping in for a spell this year with the superb offerings of cult classics from yesteryear, sourced by Starry Nights Outdoor Movies, in partnership with The Imperial Hotel in Eumundi .

On Friday 30 October and Friday 27 November, movie devotees are once again being treated to a double whammy of blockbusters at the Eumundi Drive-In. These frankly frightful classics will keep you glued to your seats and totally spellbound and the organisers are deadly serious when they predict that tickets will sell out at a toxic pace.



** & #127875 ; Friday 30 October
Ghostbusters 1 and Ghostbusters 2 (PG)
Gates open at 5.00pm, with Ghostbusters 1 screening from 6.30pm-ish
Please follow the Ghostbusters link here to book your broom spot, ensuring you don't miss out on 'Saving the World' over the Halloween weekend.**

After a team of scientists at a university in New York City lose their cushy positions in Ghostbusters 1, they decide to become ghostbusters to wage a high-tech battle with the supernatural. They stumble upon a gateway to another dimension, a doorway that will release evil upon the city. The Ghostbusters must now save New York from complete destruction.



In Ghostbusters 2, the team of spirit exterminators is disbanded for demolishing parts of the city during the battle to save New York City. When one of the Ghostbusters learns that the spirits have taken a keen interest in his son, the team launch a rogue ghost-chasing mission, a quest that quickly goes astray, landing the Ghostbusters in court. The ghosts then turn on the judge, who issues an order permitting the Ghostbusters to get back to work.



When there's something strange in the neighbourhood, you call the authorities, but when there's something ooky or spooky going down, you call the Ghostbusters!

** & #127875 ; Friday 27 November
The Goonies (PG) and The Gremlins (PG)
Gates open at 5.00pm, with screening from 6.30pm-ish
Please follow this link for your tickets to The Goonies and The Gremlins .**



Friday 27 November, families are in for another double treat of the 80's family cult classic screenings of The Goonies AND The Gremlins.

The Goonies is an old-fashioned story about a band of adventurous kids who take on a property developer who plans to destroy their home in the 'Goon Docks', to build a country club. In an attempt to save their homes, the children discover an old pirate map in the attic that takes them on an adventure to unearth the long-lost fortune of One-Eyed Willy, a legendary 17th century pirate.



The Gremlins is a comedy horror film that tells the story of a gadget salesman who is in search of a special Christmas gift for his son, which he manages to find in Chinatown. The shopkeeper reluctantly sells the tiny, furry 'mogwai' to the father, but with the gift comes very explicit warnings - to never expose the 'mogwai' to bright light, to not get the mogwai wet and to not feed him after midnight.

As you can imagine, the unthinkable happens and the pet mogwai spawns a whole gang of mischievous, mythical gremlins that are now on a mission to tear up the town on Christmas Eve. Great special effects and a gruesome sense of humour make The Gremlins' movie a wild, somewhat dark and scary ride.



Tickets are still ONLY $30 PER CAR. To guarantee your carpark, please follow the highlighted ticket link.

**Twas two nights of Halloween, when black cats prowl and pumpkins gleam, may luck be yours when you stop in for a night full of frights and a mixed bag of movie delights. Make sure to pack your picnic cauldron and your witches brew or to pre-order your ghoulish takeaways from a local Eumundi coven before flying off to the Eumundi Showgrounds for a bunch of hocus-pocus cult classics from days of yore.

Two sweet and spooky nights is witched to ya all!**
