@ Usherb4. you are partially correct, there was a man and a woman abducted there, they were both beaten and the male was later dumped out of the vehicle, the woman was found early the next morning executed. it was a very sad day for the theater and the resident of Carson. I worked at the SB6 at the time as the house manager. i believe the womans name was “Irene Martinez” i might be wrong, it was a long time ago!

Here is another aerial photo circa 1980:

Just before it closed, there was a rape that occured here. I believe this was one of the reasons as to why it was shut down. I don’t know if the case was ever solved. The last movie I saw here was the Star Trek movie w/Ricardo Montalban(RIP). I do miss the drive-ins.

There are two photos on this site. The theater has been razed since this was written:

I’ll have a number of photos of Syufy Drive-Ins to share. When Century’s offices moved to Texas, they threw out a lot of photos, all of which are waiting to be scanned.

Here is a July 1984 ad from the LA Times. Note the governor of California in one of the features:

I believe that you could see this drive-in while on the Harbor Freeway, going south around Carson Boulevard. I moved to the area in 1994 and the theater was still open. A couple of years later it was gone.
