The Student Activities Board will host a drive-in movie showing of “Hocus Pocus.” tomorrow evening at 8 p.m.
According to sophomore and media team member Erik Teder, the event is a new spin on SAB’s movie night tradition.
“Last year, we had a movie night out on the quad, but we planned for not having a quad this year,” Teder said. “A drive-in movie is a cool aesthetic and kind of a throwback that’s pretty in right now.”
Keeping with the movie night tradition, SAB will be serving popcorn and movie candy, according to Teder.
If the weather cooperates, the movie will be held in the parking lot of the Splex, Teder said.
“For people driving in, we just ask that if you have a smaller car, you park toward the front and if you have a larger car you park toward the back,” he said. “We’re planning on starting pretty close to 8 p.m. on the dot, so we recommend allotting time if you’re driving.”
Sound for the movie will be broadcast through a radio transponder set-up so that cars can tune into the movie, Teder said. However, cars are not necessary to enjoy the drive-in movie.
“People are welcome to bring blankets and sit in front of the cars,” Teder said. “SAB will also be bringing some blankets.”
Junior and SAB events team lead Abby Richardson encouraged students to enjoy the fall spirit at the event.
“We want to give students an opportunity to get out of the dorm with friends and do something unique as the weather gets colder, and to get excited for the changing season,” Richardson said. “We will have fun snacks and ‘Hocus Pocus’ to put students in the fall mood.”
If the weather does not cooperate, the movie will be held indoors, according to Teder. He encouraged students to check the SAB instagram for the final location.
Teder encouraged students to enjoy a chill night in the midst of a stressful exam season.
“This is an event where you don’t have to organize people, you don’t have to cook, you don’t have to pick a movie,” Teder said. “You just get to sit back, relax, and enjoy what’s become a Halloween classic that is absurd and funny. Laugh all your stress out.”
