Pretty pastel colors disguised the fact that the Hilltop Drive-In was a typical "cookie cutter" drive-in theatre: screen tower, boxoffice, concession stand, and confining fences were all constructed of cheap, corrugated zinc metal. After dark dramatic lighting effects also helped dress up the facility.
The Hilltop Drive-In was operated by (RKO subsidiary) Video Independent Theatres.

During Spring & Summer Eastern Oklahoma has an abundance of lightning bugs. I commented (on another drive-in) just how lovely this must have been after nightfall. Serveral persons have informed that in this region of Oklahoma theatre operators resented these fire flies because their flashing glow was so thick it often caused a distraction for outdoor movie viewing.
The only Hilltop Drive-In I could find in Oklahoma was the Hillttop in Batesville, Ok. 74003 wih a 400 car capacity.
Made as error, that should have been Bartlesville, Ok.
The Hilltop Drive-In in Henryetta is listed in the 1975 IMPA with a capacity for 400 cars. No address is given. Not listed in the 1980 edition.
