Unlike a drive-in where drivers pull up in their cars to watch a movie unfold on a screen, Secret Cinema is creating an experience in Los Angeles so that scenes will actually play out around a small group of cars. The experience is designed to take 24 cars on a multi-level, 60-minute tour of the Starcourt Mall, Russian labs and [the Upside Down](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-things-upside-down-capsules-series-3). Guests will be guided where to drive and park to see each chapter unfold. The entire experience is designed to transport guests to Hawkins, Indiana in the 80s.
