(Ardsley, N.Y.) – The Croton Point Park parking lot will be transformed into a drive-in theater, presenting The Addams Family (PG, 2019) on Friday, October 9, and Goosebumps (PG, 2015) on Saturday, October 10, allowing movie-goers to enjoy classic, family-friendly films in a socially-distanced way. The movies are presented by New York-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital as part of Westchester County Parks’ Screenings under the Stars series.

Westchester County Executive George Latimer said, “This year we have established socially distant drive-in movies as another desirable form of family-friendly entertainment, and we are delighted to partner with NewYork-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital in presenting two classic fall movies at Croton Point Park. I am grateful for the generosity of our partners who make such programming possible for the families of Westchester.”

“NewYork-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital is pleased to sponsor this socially distanced Halloween family activity. We believe in and support the communities we serve and look forward to partnering with Westchester County on other family friendly programs in the future,“said Stacey Petrower, President of NewYork-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital.

The Addams Family tells the story of an eccentrically macabre family that moves to a bland suburb where Wednesday Addams’ friendship with the daughter of a hostile and conformist local reality show host exacerbates conflict between the families. In Goosebumps, a teenager teams up with the daughter of young adult horror author R. L. Stine after the writer’s imaginary demons are set free on the town of Madison, Delaware.

Both movies will be ticketed-admission events, with purchase available by online pre-sale only.

Tickets go on sale for The Addams Family on Tuesday, Sept. 29 at 2 p.m. online at https://wcparks.ticketleap.com/driveincroton/

Tickets are $20 per car and there will be limited capacity following distancing protocols. Goosebumps tickets will go on sale at the same link on Wednesday, Sept. 30, also starting at 2 p.m.

Moviegoers will be asked to maintain a six-foot distance from others when exiting their vehicles, and to wear a mask at all times when outside their vehicles. No gatherings will be permitted. Exiting your vehicle will be permitted when using the port-o-sans, which will be available and will be serviced routinely. Hand sanitizer will also be available.
