I can remember taking my younger brother to the
movies on Saturday’s. I paid 50 cents and he got in for free since
he was under the age of 12. Those days before the movies we got
“serials”. They were a part of the whole experience and plus if you
wanted to see the next one you had to go the next week too, and who
didn’t. We didn’t want to miss the next chapter of such greats as
Flash Gordon, Commando Cody, Dick Tracy, Zorro or Smilin’ Jack to
name a few.
These Saturday Matinee serials will bring back
a lot of memories of days gone past, of course. Going to the movies
was a family event and for many teens the “date night” event. Prices
were reasonable back then and in addition to theatres we also had
the drive-in movie which was a whole different experience.
Of course, some things remain the same whether
it was an indoor or outdoor theatre. In either case, we had to hit
the “concession stand” and get our soda, popcorn, Goobers,
Raisinettes, and/or favorite chocolate bar to munch on while we
watched. When we were young we wanted to sit up front, when we grew
older, the further back the better.
So sit back, grab that box of popcorn and your
favorite beverage and be prepared to be "transported back into time"
with our Saturday Matinee Serials.
