Nest Heads by John Allen for June 30, 2024

The Glass Bottom Boat. That was the first drive-in movie I saw….

We still have a couple of drive-in theaters in our area. Had a third till last year.

Loved that movie, I think I saw it when I was 11 back in 1961. Court theater Saginaw MI.

We saw Mary Poppins at the drive in. The next movie we saw was Psycho. We kids fell asleep in the back seat.

My aunt wouldn’t go back into her house until Dad looked in her closets and under the beds.

I was taken to see “What Ever Happened To Baby Jane” when I was just ten.

Neither Gorgo nor Godzilla – “The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms” beats them both. Stop-motion over man-in-a-suit every time! Of course, now there’s CGI…

Don’t recall the first drive-in movie I saw, do recall a few I didn’t see. wink wink.

I remember seeing War of the Worlds and The Crawling Hand at the drive in. I was about 10. Apparently, I confused them together so I thought it was all one movie. Later when I saw the original War of the Worlds on tv, I kept looking for the crawling hand…
