I just love it when I find something good to share. And this is definitely worth sharing. SCIFI.COM has added a very cool feature to their site, which I just happened to find while trolling for a new Ghost Hunter's episode. It's called SCIFI Drive-In and it features some of the coolest old school sci-fi and horror/suspense video I've seen in a while.

The "Drive-In" is split up into 5 categories: Shows; Movies; Serials; Shorts; Trailers.
Shows include classics like Rod Serling's Night Gallery, Buck Rogers and the original Battlestar Gallactica. Night Gallery always rocked and IMO beat Twilight Zone hands down for wickedly scary plots.
Movies category has some awesome goodies to offer as well, featuring silver screen classics like 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (copyright 1916), The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, and the mother of all sci-fi films- Le Voyage Dans La Lune (1902- French). There are several more classic B&W sci-fi/horror/suspense films as well... too many to list.

Serials features some golden age movie serials that classic sci-fi buffs will adore: The Lost City, Radar Men From the Moon, and Undersea Kingdom.
Shorts- I think this was one of my favorite stops. It has some interesting and often funny documentaries from yesteryear's generation. My favorite had to be "Leave It To Roll-Oh" but the Chevy ads are pretty funny as well... makes you want to shop, sing and dance all at the same time.
Trailers- I just wish these old movie trailers were the full length films! But they are fantastic nonetheless, showing off the talents of such movie legends as Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, Boris Karloff, Christopher Lee, Abbot and Costello, and even showcases Francis Ford Coppola's directorial debut- Dimentia 13, as well as Roger Corman- horror/suspense director extraordinaire.

And as always the current shows that SciFi is offering are online: Ghost Hunters, Ghost Hunters International, Scare Tactics, Eureka, Destination Truth and Battlestar Gallactica at SciFi Rewind: http://www.scifi.com/rewind/
Ah, yeah, there's a little something here for everyone. So, grab the popcorn and sodas, turn down the lights and enjoy!
Cheers ~
