About El-Co Drive-in Theater

Welcome to El-Co Drive-In Theater, a revived one-screen drive-in experience in Shattuck, Oklahoma. Located at 22691 US Highway 283, this family-friendly venue brings back classic cinema with modern digital projection, a dedicated FM transmitter for car radios, clean restrooms, and on-site concessions. With picnic bench seating and a spacious drive-in lot, you can enjoy a nostalgic movie night from the comfort of your vehicle or from the available seating areas. The theater operates on weekends—Fridays and Saturdays—from spring through fall, with gates opening at 6:00 PM and movies starting at 7:00 PM. Expect community events like pre-show games and occasional live entertainment. Planning to reopen in Spring 2026, El-Co remains a beloved staple for locals and visitors alike in Ellis County.

Parking is designed for cars in the drive-in layout, with seating areas that include picnic benches for a relaxed, social viewing experience. There is no published public transit serving the venue, so most guests drive or arrange rides.
