The newly revived tradition of the drive-in movie theater is still lighting up the night sky with spectacular safely distanced entertainment – and, in the case of The Milky Way Drive-In, fright-ing up the night sky as well with its Fright Nights horror movie series throughout the month of October.

Hosted Thursdays through Sundays at the freshly installed drive-in screen at Ballpark Commons in Franklin, Fright Nights will feature scary movies of all varieties, from kid-friendly creep-outs like "The Addams Family" (both the animated and live-action versions), "Goosebumps" and "Beetlejuice"; to throwback terrors like "Scream," "Sleepy Hollow" and "The Ring"; to boo-filled blockbusters such as "It," "The Conjuring," "Insidious" and "The Invisible Man"; and small-scale scream-inducers like "The Strangers," and "The Babadook." There's even a documentary on the list: "Room 237," a bizarre dive into the oddball fan theories surrounding Stanley Kubrick's horror masterpiece "The Shining."

“For a whole generation of us, the drive-in was where you saw the really, really scary movies,” said Mike Zimmerman, CEO of ROC Ventures, developer of Ballpark Commons, in a press relelase. “We are excited about offering a safe Halloween outdoor movie experience the entire month of October."
