Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear as Gene and cohost Tim Swartz take a break from the paranormal and explore pop culture with Brian Walker, the creator and webmaster of Brian’s Drive-In Theater, where he's been keeping memories of drive-in films and their stars alive since February 1, 1998. This episode focuses very much on "classic" B-movies, movie serials, and TV shows that focus mostly on super heroes and sci-fi. Brian's love of films began in childhood with his first Super 8mm projector given to him by his grandmother who also bought him his first film, a four-minute excerpt of a W.C. Fields comedy. Over the last 50 years, he has assembled a film collection from such genres as horror and science fiction, comedy, and action with a special emphasis on B (low budget) movies. Currently calling Morgantown, West Virginia home, Brian is fortunate to live in proximity of a number of still-operating drive-in theaters in the southwestern Pennsylvania area and loves taking his convertible to the drive-in during the warm summer months.
