Having been born in '71, my folks, who loved horror and sci-fi, dragged me along to a lot of these. There was an old drive-in in town that would show this stuff so, we'd pull in, get popcorn and I'd usually fall asleep part way in, but I still remember scenes from Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Incredible Melting Man, etc. Funny, though, many of those movies I never watched again when I was older.
Did The Incredible Melting Man (the novel based on the film) figure in your childhood as well? That was a bit of a shocker for 12 year old to read back in 1979/80. That one gave me some sleepless nights for a long time :)
