We had a neighborhood movie theater that used to show them, sometimes a double feature. It cost 50 cents to get in! The movies would run Thursday, Friday and Saturday, then change for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

When we were around junior high age, we often went on Friday nights and Sunday afternoons. I remember just about all of the silly monster B-movies and Vincent Price flicks.

Good old days! LOL
