Death at the Drive-In 101: Movie Projection Booth Page 1

Hey there Slashers!

Many times with the New Events I see PANIC. Mostly due to everything is new and no one knows just yet how to get the hang of what is going on. Well, just as usual, here to help in anyway I can with some Basic 101 and detailed breakdown of HOW TO on the aspects of the Game Play.

For this post, I will be diving into the Movie Projection Booth.

Movie Projection Booth

Let’s take a look at the Movie Projection Booth, what at is inside, and how it will help you along in the game.


WHERE CAN I FIND THE MOVIE PROJECTION BOOTH? 

You can see the Movie Projection Booth located close by the Entrance to the Event Menu Area.

Movie Projection Booth Event Area


WHAT IS INSIDE THE MOVIE PROJECTION BOOTH?

The Movie Projection Booth is full of Buildings, Characters, and Building Facades that will help you during the Death at the Drive-In at the Event.

*****At this point, you will have created all the 7 items in the Movie Projection Booth BEFORE Slasher Cat… so make sure you are ready BEFORE you tap on the Movie Projection Booth again…  WARNING SLASHER CAT WILL BE TIMED FOR 24HRS!!!****

Movie Projection Booth Slasher Cat Timer

Slasher CatSlasher Cat:  Once you get the Pumpkin Tower Created, the moment you go back to the Movie Projection Booth and tap it to look inside, the time will start on Slasher Cat and you will only have 24hrs to unlock Him.

Slasher Cat requires 100Movie Reel 2Movie Reels, so make sure you have a LOT stored up before reaching this point. You will want to be ready to get him. Once he times out, you will not have another Chance to pull him into your game. He has a 4hr task, Play with Toy Mouse, that will help drop Scythe’s. Part of Absolute Killers Clam Group. Reward of 20 Clams for completing the Group of 4 so far.

You do have til the end of the Event to get Slasher Cat, so take your time with the Pumpkin Tower and do not craft it til you are ready or if you do… don’t tap on the Movie Projection Booth. His full profile will be in another post.

 


HOW DO I GET THE ITEMS IN THE MOVIE PROJECTION BOOTH?

Popcorn Movie Reel 2

All of these items will require Movie Reels to acquire them. 216 Movie Reels Total.

Movie Reels are currently ONLY available by trading in Food/Concession Items to the Concessions Stands. For Week 1, you will exchange Popcorn earned from taking out Unholy Nuns or Clearing the NPC Slasher Cat from Lois for 5 Movie Reels.

The Current Exchange Rate is as follows…

  • Scream Level 1 & 2: 30 PopcornPopcorns for 5 Movie Reel 2Movie Reels
  • Scream Level 3: 35 PopcornPopcorns for 5 Movie Reel 2Movie Reels
  • Scream Level 4: 45 PopcornPopcorns for 5 Movie Reel 2Movie Reels
  • Scream Level 5: 60 PopcornPopcorns for 5 Movie Reel 2Movie Reels
  • Scream Level 9: 80 PopcornPopcorns for 5 Movie Reel 2Movie Reels
  • Scream Level 20: 105 PopcornPopcorns for Movie Reel 25 Movie Reels

Now a few important things to note, the increase is ALSO triggered by Death in the Drive-In Part 6. So if you hit that point BEFORE you Level up to Scream Point Level 3, you will still see an increase to the 35.  Additionally, I am on Scream Level 5 and done with the questline and I can see BOTH 60 & 80 as an option, but I can still use the 60 all I want.

Also, before you PANIC at the amounts on the Exchange keep in mind this is a LONG event and as you can see when you are in the Concession Stand Pop Up Screen… Popcorn is NOT the only item you will be able to Exchange. So take your time to earn what you can this week and see what the Next Phase 2 offers for Exchange. Not to mention it takes a LOT of Scream Points to Level Up, so that is going to take you a while too.

 


WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I UNLOCK THE ITEMS?

When you have earned enough Movie Reels to get the item that is next in line in the Movie Projection Booth, you will see “GET” under that item. Tap on “GET” and the Pop Up Info Screen will show you the stats for the item, including a Check Mark over the amount and instead of a Clam Purchase Amount you will see “GET”.

Movie Projection Booth GET NOW Clam Bar Movie Projection Booth GET Bar

Movie Projection Booth Murder Point

Tapping on “GET” will start a cut screen of the Movie Projection Booth and then it will spit out your Prize. At this point you will tap on “AWESOME” to bring it in the game.

You Got A Prize Murder Point

How it is brought in will vary. It will either show for immediate placement in the Game Play Area…

Jack O Lantern Place screen

go to your Inventory Storage Menu…

Death's Mom's House Inventory

***Side Note: Known Issue with this. If you are unable to get an item out try first to completely clear out the screen. Then Go to your Menu Tab in the Lower Left Side of your game, In the Menu Tab tap on your Inventory option, then locate the item in the ALL or Building tab, then try to place it again. If it still doesn’t work, Contact TinyCo from your in game messaging.

 

For Quagmire’s Haunted House, it will first go into Inventory Storage, then tapping on it in Inventory Storage will show the Building Facade/Skin was earned and you need to go place it on the Original Building. (Tap on Building, then Green Arrow over Building, then tap on the different Boxes for different Facades/Skins until you have the one you want on the Building. Or Circle with Slash through it to remove it.)

Quagmire's Haunted House Skin Pop Up

 


As this is ONLY Page 1, I assume more will arrive as each New Phase is released weekly. There you have it. A Basic Rundown of the Movie Projection Booth and all that lies within.

What do you think of the items? Which ones do you have so far? Have any favorites? How is your Movie Reel collection going? Let us know.

  3. I am currently ready to unlock the pumpkin tower but I’m waiting to collect enough reels to get slasher cat, thanks to your helpful info. I was wondering, since I can’t seem to find an answer anywhere, does it move back to the first page after you unlock slasher cat? Everywhere I have seen, the page in the booth that ends with slasher cat is called page 1. In my game it is page 2/2. Page 1 has slasher bait Lois as the second to last unlockable. Since I need her and another object from that list in order to unlock patty(i only have a day or 2 left), I am confused. Do I have to unlock everything including Slasher Cat on the one page, then everything up to SB Lois in order to get her?

  10. Oh nooo… They did change the scream levels… I was halfway through level 4 with 93 reels and 35 popcorn tubs, so veeery close to getting Slasher Cat.

Now it takes 80 popcorn tubs to get 5 reels! I hope the other ways to get reels turn out easy enough because it’s harder and harder to get reels but it still takes one hour to generate a single movie prop at a time.

      • They didnt give me a warning so I didnt know he had a timer. Why do they even put on an impossible timer?
        They have done this before and people complained so they started warning people “watch out theres a timer”. Now they actually encouraged you to build all of that stuff asap (the quest) and then give you a big middle finger. UNLESS you read a fan made site before you start any quest/building. No offense to you guys and girls at familyaddicts, you do a great job at delivering the information, but we surely shouldnt have to check a site (that as far as I know isnt even official) to know whether there will be an impossible timer or not… If the timer was possible fine, no warning. But if you need to collect before hand? Thats just stupid.

        • It’s in the FAQ. Sorry, but they did put the info out there. 😉

          Like

          • You’re right about the FAQ mentioning the timer, but to be fair to the people above, the FAQ doesn’t mention that he costs 100 movie reels and that once you start that 24 hour, it is actually impossible to acquire what he needs within the 24 hour window without speeding some tasks along. I was fortunate to have read the warnings here before getting to that point, but if I had only read the FAQ, I would have thought, “no big deal, I’ll just wait until everyone is free from tasks before starting him and I’ll also start him at 6 AM to maximize my time utilization” — thinking once I start him, I could just go gangbusters with my people… from that FAQ entry, it would never have occurred to me that I’d need to accumulate a bunch of reels before-hand, nor would I have even had a clue how many I needed to accumulate since it doesn’t tell you that. So I’m going to have to respectfully agree with the others in calling foul on this. It wasn’t a fair thing to do to players who don’t closely follow a fan site. That said, thank you very much for the heads-up, but the game itself should give some kind of fair warning.

            • No company in the history of business will offer up all their hidden items. It’s how they work. Like it or not, that’s life in the real world. How 99.9% of companies operate. That’s reality of gaming.

              They won’t tell you everything in a game because that’s how games function. As a player YOU gotta figure it out. Knowing going in blind you’ll hit things you may not be prepared for, ready for, or like. It’s been the nature of games since I can remember. Always a hidden element for the player to stumble upon. You’ll have to learn to except to give in or let things go.

              As a gamer we have to realize this old school style still in play and either learn to accept what particular game style is tossed at us or move to another game.

              No one HAS to come here for the help. It’s pure choice. Just like I don’t HAVE to offer the help. Like it or not…THIS site is here to help. People continue to tear it apart and abuse that help and it will disappear.

Every event prior to this I have always reach the required level to update portal, warp room, pyramid, ghost portal,etc. I have only just reached level 3. I need 320 scream points in 2 days!! I have only managed to get a couple of decos as quagmire is so busy on other tasks I have not got hardly any 3d glasses. I have done all side quest lines as far as they go. This is ridiculous. With only the pumpkin tower and slasher cat to create I’m gonna be so behind from the beginning its gonna be hard to catch up. I know this is early days but I have been around since the start and at no point has any previous event been easy to catch up to when you are behind. 😢😢😢

  28. Tysm for advice on getting Slasher Cat. I read your original post about this too. Super helpful. 🙂 I am saving up 120 movie reels before I even place the pumpkin house, because more than likely, I would land up accidentally setting off the timer for Slasher Cat before I meant to. Just dreading the time it’s going to take to make that many reels ugh. 😦 I know it’s still early in the event but I hate lagging far behind when new phases hit. Makes me feel like I am constantly playing catch up. The only good thing about it, is that we often get good tips and tricks in advance, and learn better ways to achieve goals, than some who walked before us.

    • The *only* thing the cat gives you is an extra “extra rare” shot at a scythe for Death, who requires drops from the Pumpkin Tower, so you’re essentially holding back drops for Death, to get 1 extra chance at an extra rare drop for Death.
      Doesn’t make sense. Plus it takes 100 reels that you could use to get ahead in the next phase!

      • Well, not exactly the “only” thing. 😉 It also gives me a cat character. I like cats 🙂 Plus the cat is part of a clam group, which awards 20 clams for completing.

  29. Hay Bunny,
    I don’t know if anyone has noticed yet but it looks like they added another way to get Holy Water Balloons, and this one is a 4 hour task! Its Joe’s 4 hour task “Look for Murderers” which he does at Murder Point. When I sent him on that task earlier, it didn’t show that it produced Holy Water Balloons, but when his task was over, it dropped a Holy Water Balloon. Then when I went to put him on the same task again, it showed this is an additional task for Holy Water Balloons with it only being 4 hours instead of 5 hours or otherwise. Just thought I’d share what I saw.

    Thanks again for all the awesome info. 👏🏻💞👏🏻
    I earned cleavers so quickly that I hit the level 4 45-exchange rate much too quickly. Oh well, that’s what I get for not storing those unnecessary new buildings right away. I’m intentionally holding off on GETting Quagmire’s facade and the Pumpkin Tower so I can earn at least 150 movie reels first. If something goes wrong, however, do you know if there is a clam option to buy Slasher Cat before the timer runs out? I try to get all the cats within my very limited budget!
