Camden was the home of the first drive-in, so perhaps it's fitting that the last place to see a movie there was a drive-in. The Black Horse opened in the '60s, gained a second screen in the '70s and closed in the late '70s or '80s. It was owned by the Sameric chain and was notable for its tower, topped by a black horse. A Postal Service distribution facility now occupies part of the site.

The Black Horse Pike D.I. closed in 1978 and had a 1400 car capacity for the two screens.

The original screen was extremely large. I think it was probably one of the largest screens in the northeast.

This drive-in closed later than '78. I saw a triple-bill of Dragonslayer, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Clash of the Titans there in '81 or '82. The picture was abysmally dark and you could barely see the movie.

This drive-in was paved over years ago. Status should be closed/demolished. I do remember seeing the sign in the late sixties or thereabouts.
