The Midway Drive-In was located on Highway 441 in Pigeon Forge. I don’t remember exact address, but it was on the right side of the highway as you were driving towards Gatlinburg. I remember it was located behind some other businesses with only the sign located on the highway, leading down narrow lane back to the theater. I went there several times during the mid-1970’s, and unlike other drive-ins in East Tennessee at the time, it showed only one feature instead of double features. The only other theater in Sevier County at the time was the Gatlinburg Cinema in Gatlinburg. I remember seeing “Day of the Animals” and “Shadow of the Hawk” there. Not sure when it opened or closed, but was probably swallowed up by developement in Pigeon Forge by the early-1980’s.

Wow, so “SHADOW OF THE HAWK” played somewhere else besides the IMPERIAL. What a horrible film.
That was a great movie.
TLsloews. Jan Michael Vincent, are you sure. Maybe i need to see it again.I bet it is not even on DVD. I bet you guys died with it too.
No I never even heard of it,just joking!
Man,one day i am going to get wise to you.
Maybe.
Actually, I liked SHADOW OF THE HAWK a lot, but it does seem to have disappeared. One of the forgotten horror movies in the 70’s. I saw it again once on TV probably in the late 70’s, and have never seen in since. Jan Michael Vincent was actually very good in it, but Chief Dan George was great! It weas influenced by the Carlos Casteneda books that were popular at the time. I would love to see it again.
I think I have the one-sheet.
