SCARY movie lovers can get a fright this weekend at a special Halloween drive-in cinema event in Darlington.

It is taking place at Mowden Park Stadium from tonight, with a schedule of family favourites, cult classics and late-night thrillers.

Daisy Dukes Drive-in Cinema, which held an event in Darlington during the summer, are returning for a weekend of socially distanced fun and frights.

 The film line-up for Darlington is:

Friday October 30:

Hocus Pocus, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Scary Movie and The Exorcist (sold out)

Saturday, October 31:

Casper, Beetlejuice, Scream (sold out) and IT (sold out)

 Sunday, November 1:

Ghostbusters, Nightmare Before Christmas, Shaun of the Dead and The Blair Witch Project

Operations Manager Kane Ayton said: "Since we announced the Darlington event in September the response has been unprecedented. We can't wait to be back!"

"We're teaming up North-East-based scare attraction Scream Factory to unleash a terrifying experience at the arena. Don't delay, three movies have already sold out and most are down to the last 30 tickets.

"Children will be greeted by their favourite characters during the day, adults will bump into some of their worse nightmares by evening.

"Our events are extremely Covid-secure and we're happy that the local council has worked with us to make sure the weekends' festivities adhere to the highest standards.

"Audio is transmitted via a specially assigned FM frequency direct to vehciles' radios and food is delivered to customers' cars - if you've never been to a drive-in cinema before then this really is your perfect chance."

Final car tickets are on sale priced from £30.
