There is a guy selling small bits of the original sign on eBay : Just search ‘Commack drive in theatre sign’ . He also has photo evidence with the broken bits!
Does ANYONE know: did this movie theatre plaster their old movie posters on the ceiling of the lobby ? I went out really far (we were from Huntington) with friends to see Mommie Dearest in the very early 1980s .This kinda looks like the theatre we went to . Only that once. If not DOES ANYONE remember a movie theatre in the Stony Brook / Port Jefferson area that did this : use their old movie posters as wallpaper ? Thanks
I was there on April 7, 2005. I left a bag of pot and about $200.00 in quarters in the third row , center . My Name is Andrea True my number is 555-1602 . I realize that it’s 2023 , but I want my stuff back ! Does anyone know the name of the district manager that was there in 2005 ? Thanks .
Comical note on the movie “633 Squadron” : when they released “A Hard Day’s Night” in 1964 , “633 Squadron” was the unfortunate co-feature: SO, when the Beatles movie ended – the theaters emptied out - NOBODY stayed for “633 Squadron”. LOL .
This was a local and WALKABLE (to many) decades old neighborhood theatre . It is a SHAME that there are so few comments on here !! One would think that on Rocky Horror ALONE there would be 50 comments . Oh well…..
CLOSED DEC. 21 , 1983 (right about “Multi-Plex” time)

Movie on marquee “Haley Mills in The Family Way”.
The Clash recorded COMBAT ROCK (“Rock the Casbah”) next door at Electric Ladyland Studios ! 1981.
Does ANYONE remember ROCK concerts here ? It was said that an early Bruce Springsteen band played here as well.
The Betsy and Beyond and Back …. NOT 2 movies you wanna open a new theatre with …. YIKES . BAD BOOKING .
“White Line Fever” the trucker epic. Summer 1975. Sigh.
Shirley Booth was “the star” of “Hot Spell”. Not A.Q. Would have LOVED to have eaten at China Island ! Did China Island OUT LIVE the theatre ?
Wow ! Just wow!
That a LOT of letters on that sign ! LOL
Wow! Had no idea it lasted this long!!
“Death Wish 3” was really a comedy .
“You wasted 70MM on…WHAT?!”
AMAZING !!

Weird to have 13 stars and a moon. Occult connection ?
If you have ever heard of the Psychotronic Film guide or magazine: Michael Weldon the editor spent a lot of time here in his youth.
