On Saturday, August 21 the Silver Screen Drive-in brings you bloody horror-comedy “Freaky”, where an infamous serial killer swaps bodies with high-school teenager Millie to hilarious results!
This entertaining slasher, with a gender-bending, body-swapping twist, juggles genres when seventeen-year-old Millie becomes the latest target of the Butcher, the town's infamous serial killer. Used to spending her days trying to survive high school and the cruel actions of the popular crowd, now her senior year becomes the least of her worries as the Butcher's mystical dagger causes him and Millie to magically switch bodies. The frightened teen learns she has just 24 hours to get her identity back before she looks like a middle-aged maniac forever.

About the Silver Screen Drive-in
Trail & District Arts Council and The Royal Theatre have joined forces to imagine your new, favourite summer experience, the Silver Screen Drive-in. Running from June to September, films will screen Thursday through Saturday at sunset in the Waneta Plaza upper parking lot. Upcoming films will include those event movies that you’ve missed seeing on a big screen, retro classics from comedy to horror, as well as those Sunday Cinema favourites been as well as Oscar winning independent films and documentaries. Plus, live performances of music, theatre, dance and more!
The Silver Screen Drive-in is sponsored by Bounce Radio, Century 21, Kootenay Savings Credit Union, Teck Metals Ltd. and Tourism Rossland, and made possible thanks to support from Waneta Plaza and funding from the Government of British Columbia, BC Arts Council, and Canadian Heritage.
