Classic Swayze at Dixie Drive-In this weekend

The Dixie Twin Drive-In Theatre plans to honor Patrick Swayze with a three-night showing of two of his best-known movies.

“Ghost” and “Road House” will be featured on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, Sept. 25-27.

At 8 p.m., the beloved movie, “Ghost” featuring Swayze, Demi Moore and the sexiest pottery wheel in screen history will be shown.

But at 10:20 p.m., the more rowdy “Road House” will be shown, highlighted by the classic line, “Pain don’t hurt.”

The drive-in owners will donate $1 of every adult ticket to the American Cancer Society in Swayze’s honor. Admission for those 13 and older is $7.50.

“We were saddened to hear of the passing of Patrick Swayze. We’ve admired his work and wanted to find a way to honor him”, stated Ryan Levin, Vice-President of Levin Service Company, owners of the drive-in. “The best way we can think of to honor his name and talent is to donate a portion of the proceeds to the American Cancer Society.”

But if classic movies from a silver screen icon aren’t your thing, the drive-in also is donating $1 per adult ticket from the features on Screen 2.

Screen 2 will feature 1998’s John Carpenter’s Vampires and the 1988 sci-fi classic Killer Klowns from Outer Space.

For recorded movie information please call 937-890-5513.
