Help Save The Midway Drive-In Theater!
One of the last great horror drive-in theaters is in dire need and we can lend a helping hand! The Midway Drive-In theater in Sterling/Dixon, IL uses a 35mm projector, which was great several years ago. However, movie studios will cease issuing new movies on 35mm next year, requiring many theaters to upgrade to digital projectors and digital systems. This is incredibly costly (the projectors alone can cost around $80,000) and many theaters simply cannot afford the costs.
This is where we can come in to help. Honda is donating a free projector to 5 drive in theaters that receive the most votes through Project Drive-In. Simply go to that website, look up “Sterling, IL”, and pick the Midway Drive-In at the bottom of the screen. Then just vote! You don’t need to sign up, you don’t need to enter any information in, you just have to click the button. People can also vote by texting “Vote80” to 444999. You can vote once per day, so please make sure to help out as often as you can!
Below is a video that documents that Midway Drive-In that features interviews with horror icons Robert Englund, George A. Romero, and Lance Henriksen.

Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
