    We had three theaters in West Palm that showed Midnight movies every Friday and Sat night - at midnight of course..
    Carefree showed only Rocky Horror, with the live cast performance etc. Not really my thing but I did get dragged to it at least a dozen times.
    The theater by my house was a mall multiplex that showed The Road Warrior, Dawn of The Dead, Night of the Living Dead, The Warriors, Harder They Come, El Topo and Pink Flamingos.
    I saw all of those many times over. It was a great time because everyone met up at the arcade next door. You'd get a buzz on - hit the record store, get a delicious slice of NYC pizza then end up at the midnight movie with all of your friends then get dumped out into the dark void at about 2:30 in the morning with loads of scared 80's girls.
    The good ole days…..

    Midnight movies were more a rarity. But if by "drop off matinees" you mean your parents dropping you off for the day then yes, I absolutely grew up on that. In the town I grew up in the mall was literally right beside the movie theater so on weekends either my parents or a friends parents would drop us off and we'd see a movie or two, hit the arcade and just bs around the mall.

    Drop off matinees mostly showed 3 hours of cartoons, Three Stooges and an old Sci Fi or Horror movie. Most cities around the country showed the same package on the same Saturday. I remember seeing Frankenstein Conquers The World, Robinson Caruso on Mars and War of The Gargantuas..
    Oh and House of Wax in 3D!

    I can't imagine parents dropping kids off at the theater anymore.
    More lameness for today's kids..

    Avengers
    What We Do in the Shadows

    Saw both twice. I never do that.

    Oh and I took tons of 13 yr old b*tches to see Titanic back in the day. So much hand-hold game.

    Ahhh... okay. Guess I was too young for that. Sounds like good times though.

    When I was about 9 or 10 my younger cousin was visiting from Texas and my mom dropped us off at the theater/mall for the day (as per the regular weekend routine) and about a week after my cousin returned home my mother received a letter from his mother chewing her out for "leaving us alone all day". "I don't care what you do with your kids but my kid is not to be left unattended blah blah blah" type stuff. I remember my mom was so shocked. I guess that was around the beginning of all that overprotective parenting nonsense. So glad my parents were not like that.
