.- It was about 2 a.m. on a Sunday when the gross-out horror-comedy Class of Nuke Em High started playing at the Mahoning Drive-In. This was the last screening at TromaDance, an annual showcase of low-budget horror and sex comedies produced by Troma, a movie studio based in the New York City borough of Queens. Earlier that evening, about 600 cars had piled into the drive-in in Lehighton, Pennsylvania, but by 2 a.m., only the die-hards remained. Kevin Schmidt, an extra in the film, was among them.

Event to be held at Milton Theatre Oct. 16
Zombie Fest will return to downtown Milton Saturday, Oct. 16, after a three-year absence. The 2019 event was held at northbeach in Dewey Beach and last year’s edition was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While the theater is still working through its COVID plans with the state, the event is scheduled to take place within the grounds of Milton Theatre. Zombie Fest is always the spot to see the undead, such as Tom and Nikki Yurchalk at the 2019 edition. FILE PHOTO
