Gasp! It’s hard to believe it was a quarter century ago that my film zine first ran through the printer. For our silver anniversary, we’re going back to our roots by resuming the tradition of the summer drive-in issue! This one will be packed with reviews of vintage drive-in flicks.
Beach Parties! Surfing! Spaghetti Westerns! Bikers! Troubled Teens! Spy-Fi! Kung Fu! Blaxploitation! Truckers! And of course all kinds of monsters. If that’s not enough, we’ll also feature reviews of drive-in documentaries, drive-in related books, and a few articles!
And there’s always room for you! We’re seeking contributions of drive-in movie reviews (500-700 words in length). For a taste of what we’re looking for, we refer you to this link here. (I’m not trying to toot my horn, but think of the reviews in this link as a barometer.)
Deadline is August 9, 2026. Interested? Please drop us a line through the contact page. Thanks for reading, and remember to hang up the speaker before you drive away!
Greg Woods
Greg Woods has been a film enthusiast since his teens, and began his writing "career" at the same time- prolific in capsule reviews of everything he had watched, first on index cards, then those hardcover dollar store black journals, then an old Mac IIsi. He founded The Eclectic Screening Room in 2001, as a portal to share his film love with the world, and find some like-minded enthusiasts along the way. In addition to having worked in the film industry for over two decades, he has been a co-programmer of films at Trash Palace, and a programmer/co-founder of the Toronto Film Noir Syndicate. He has also written for Broken Pencil, CU-Confidential, Micro-Film, and is currently working on his first novel. His secret desire is for someone to interview him for a podcast or a DVD extra.
