WAKE FOREST, N.C. — Still making your Halloween plans? Capital Drive In, an outdoor pop-up theater in Wake Forest, has several Halloween-themed movies on its schedule.

The business, at 2509 Index Drive, Wake Forest, will screen "The Nightmare Before Christmas," on Thursday, Oct. 29; "Little Shop of Horrors" on Oct. 30; and "Ghostbusters" and "Scream" during a double feature on Halloween.

Capital Drive In, run by The Drive-In Guys, opened in late August and has been showing lots of family-friendly movies ever since.

If you go, masks are required while walking way from your vehicle and social distancing is a must. You can watch the movie from your car or set up lawn chairs in your assigned parking space, but you must ensure you're at least six feet away from others who are not in your party, according to the drive-in's website.

Movie sound is transmitted over FM radio, but the business is working to launch an audio streaming platform to your mobile phone over free WIFI, according to its website. You also can order food to your vehicle, including pizza slices, snacks and drinks. Tickets for a single vehicle start at $30.

According to its Facebook page, the owners recently made updates to the space, including adding parking space numbers to make parking and food delivery more efficient and raising the screen nine feet for a better viewing angle.

More information and tickets are on Capital Drive In's website.
