Hollowbrook Drive-In

I attended the Hollowbrook drive in through out the sixties.
Like most Ozoners in the area, children under 12 got in for
free. I saw pictures like “The Sand Pebbles”, “Planet of the
Apes” and the 1969 re-issue of “Ben Hur” there.

In 1982, I filmed a murder sequence at this theater for my
film, “Splatter University”. You can see the ticket booth,
screen and woods behind the speakers in the film. Circa 1983,
the movie played there on a double bill with “Squeeze Play”.

I went there one more time to see “The Blues Brothers” and then
it folded along with most of the indoor and outdoor Westchester
single screen theaters.
