Zombie and Gates of Hell played at a drive in at during their initial American releases in my town (1980 and 1983..) The drive in screen faced the main road and if you were stuck at a traffic light, you could turn your head and see the screen while the movie was playing. That always freaked me out. I was 13 - 16 when these movies came out and I always hoped to see a gory moment on that drive in screen while sitting at the traffic light with my family, but never did.
