Halloween Film Screening - Invasion Of The Saucer Men

To celebrate Halloween, the LP Historical Society presents a special FREE screening of the 1957 comic sci-fi film, “Invasion of the Saucer Men”, featuring former Lincoln Parker Lyn “Buddy” Osborn (1926-1957) playing the role of Artie Shaw and the movie’s narrator. Osborn - who’s seen in quite a predicament in the movie ad shown here - acted alongside Frank Gorshin, Steve Terrell, and Gloria Castillo in the classic drive-in movie (originally released on a double bill with “I Was A Teenage Werewolf” starring a young Michael Landon). The film, which runs 69 minutes, screens Sunday October 30th once only at 6:00 P.M. in the LP bandshell building at Memorial Park. Doors open at 5:30pm. Refreshments are available. Please no Outside Food or Beverages. A short presentation on Lyn Osborn will be shared prior to the screening. Reservations are not needed.
