Bellevue Drive-In T-Shirt (Premium Lightweight)

The Bellevue Drive-In in Bellevue, Illinois, just outside Peoria, opened on August 29, 1948, and was soon the largest drive-in in downstate Illinois. On July 6, 1963, this village of about 1,500 got a world premiere: Blood Feast, generally called the first splatter film.

By the 1970s it ran mostly adult films. Lightning was blamed for a fire on May 22, 1975, and a smaller fire that July was likely arson. It appears to have closed in September 1980, and was demolished for a Kmart that never opened.
