Over in Watertown, New York is the Black River Drive-in Theatre. Now obscured by overgrown brush, remnants of the Black River still remain, from the Marquee (left, bottom left) to the projection booth and screen tower (seen in the distance bottom right).

UPDATE 08/06 : Very recently, a local couple put a lot of work into the theater, building a new concession stand and refurbishing the screen tower and yesterday (August 18, 2006) the drive-in was opened to the public for the first time in over 20 years! Many thanks to Erin Bastedo for update. 08-06

Welcome to the Malta Drive-in Theatre of ... Malta, NY. This drive-in features a very unique retro looking marquee complete with balls on top and the letters "MALTA" in different color blocks, similar to the ABC blocks of childhood.

The drive-in screen, ticket booth, snack bar, and lot appear to be in good shape.

(Below) Here are more photos of the Malta Drive-in Theatre.

Johnstown, Pennsylvania remains a great place to catch an open air show. Can you resist the all-American colors of the Silver Drive-In Theatre?

The marquee's display of "movies" is roadside advertisement at its best.

Looking for a good place to catch a drive-in movie in the Long Island, NY area? Well, until now you could have caught a flick at the Westbury Drive-in Theatre. But alas, Long Island's last drive-in theatre is now closed down, with a United Artists Theatre to take its place.
