Skyline Drive-In | Rural location can be a plus

Mike Goodrum, general manager of Skyline Drive-In in the Green County town of Summersville, says rural drive-ins have struggled in recent years, but the remote location is what makes it special.
“It’s a little gem in the middle of nowhere,” he says. “There’s no city lights so the screen is so bright, it just lights up the place.”
The typical drive-in season lasts spring through mid-fall, largely depending on weather. The summer is when new blockbusters are featured, with special events coming later in the year.
Skyline Drive-In, served by Taylor County RECC, plans to continue annual events like a back-to-school kids movie in August, and Screamfest, a horror movie marathon in late October.
