Drive-In: A Carhop, a Killer, and a Deadly Detour

Originally Aired: November 21, 1946 In Suspense #220, “Drive-In,” Judy Garland stars as Mildred, a Hollywood carhop whose late-night shift turns into a nightmare when she serves one last customer—a man with blood on his hands and a dark past he’s desperate to escape. What begins as a seemingly harmless offer of a ride becomes a harrowing drive into the hills above Los Angeles, where secrets unravel, sanity frays, and survival hinges on a single moment of courage. A chilling blend of noir and psychological terror that showcases Garland in a rare and riveting dramatic role. Cast: Judy Garland, Raymond E.
