THE DRIVE-IN 2: Not Just One of Them Sequels Joe R. Lansdale Synopsis for THE COMPLETE DRIVE-IN:The end of the 1980s. Drive-in movie culture is mostly dead with one significant exception: THE ORBIT DRIVE-IN. A drive-in theater so large it houses multiple stories-high screens that fill the sky, and can hold four thousand cars and all the people who can squeeze in them.

People try to leave but find they are trapped by some acidic goo surrounding the entire drive-in. They grow hungry, homicidal and suicidal.
