DRIVE-IN SATURDAY
You’ve lost your personality. You’ve become devoid of emotion and thought. You’re a dull, lifeless nerd. No, you haven’t turned into the title character in The Linda Ronstadt Story. And you haven’t become a demographic statistic in the search for the typical CREEM reader.

You’ve lost your personality. You’ve become devoid of emotion and thought. You’re a dull, lifeless nerd.
No, you haven’t turned into the title character in The Linda Ronstadt Story. And you haven’t become a demographic statistic in the search for the typical CREEM reader.
You’re just a pod—victim of the Invasion Of The Bpdy Snatcherd, a new horror film that’s about as terrifying as your last case of runny nose.
Originally filmed in 1956, Invasion was a true B-movie classic. Shot in the miracle of black and white, it featured a cast of obscure actors, many of whom never worked again. Talk about unknowns—these bozos didn’t even know each other.
In the new version, everything is bigger and costlier. In 1956, the producer thought twice about ordering a small pizza for the entire crew, but in 1978, no expense was spared. Color, Dolby*sound and actors who are household names—especially if you live at the William Morris Agency.
