The Smithtown Outdoor was actually better than the Commack Drive-In. In high school I saw some weird double bills there as well. Hard to believe I saw “I Drink Your Blood” there in 1979 . The movie was already 8 years old, pretty old even for a second billed movie! I saw “Halloween” there and as I recall, the outdoor was opened even in the WINTER! At the Indoor part, I think the only movies I saw in there was “Creepshow”, “Night Train to Terror” and “The Perils of Gwendolyn”. The snack bar was very 1960’s looking, and pretty big too. Does anyone know when this theater opened ?
The Drive In Moives in Smithtown is on Middle Country Rd, in Nesconset right where the houses are now, It closed before or after Glora in Oct. of 1985 thats when Glora hit Long Island in Sept 27 of 1985. In the mid 1990’s is when the building was still standing in that time is when they started to build the houses there.
The Rocky Point Drive In is were the Golf course place is now.
If you people have what to know anything, ask me about it.
Towering Inferno played the indoor theatre here

I worked there in the concession stands I believe for two summers, the theatre location is now a condo unit, south side Middle Country road.
Actually my entire family worked there, me in concessions, my older brother as an usher in the indoor and my mom at the ticket booth out front. Then there was lots of woods around the theatre and we built a tree fort outside the fence and turned up the car speakers to hear the moovie at night ( this before I worked there )
When a film was a hit is lasted for weeks, ‘You Only Live Twice’ played the entire summer, two shows a night WITH intermission. It was piped into the concession stand and we recognized when the break was to come and prepare for the onslaught. From listenning to it so many times I can still recite the movie and sing along with the Nancy Sinatra title song all to the fright of my friends
It stands somewhere around there, but I think it became the development for modern housing. You know, the type that may fall on you if you sneeze.
So that’s pretty much where the Pizzeria Uno’s now stands.
My Sister and I went to see Disney Movies at this drive in. That was during the 1970s. It had one thing I never saw in a drive in, when the snack bar was closing there would be graphics on the screen. I also recall those old, drive in speakers. There was one truth about these speakers, either you lifted them before you opened the door, or you took a chance at paying for new glass.
