Welcome to the Midnight Drive-In. Tonight's bill follows one courteous visitor through more than a century of doorsteps: a quarantined town in 1918 where every lamp shows a different face, a small-town centennial in 1966, and the long years of lit porches between. He's always well dressed and he always apologizes for the hour. All he needs is for someone to answer. Hosted between reels with fake ads, a potion-peddling wizard and a house band, it's late-night lot cinema in analog grain, and a companion to He Only Knocks Once and VENDITOR. Co-written and co-created by Nelson J. Torres, whose visitor haunts every frame, and written and edited by Cody Bryant.
