After three years, the Capitol’s beloved Drive-In Night Double Feature is back! The Capitol will offer what theater management describes as “two incredible sci-fi classics reminiscent of the kinds of things you’d see at a good ol’ drive-in cinema.” First up, in The Day the Earth Stood Still, a UFO lands in Washington, D.C. Klaatu (Michael Rennie) has come on behalf of alien life, who have been watching the Cold War-era nuclear proliferation on Earth. But it is Klaatu’s silent robot, Gort, that presents a more immediate and ominous threat to Earthlings. After intermission, we’ll find out what happens to the Gill-Man from the Black Lagoon after he is captured by men and made into an aquarium attraction in Revenge of the Creature.

Both movies are not-rated and are suitable for all audiences, though each contains intense scenes that may be frightening for children.

Drive-in-style food, coming attraction trailers, and snipes will add to the fun.
