Summer at the Drive-In Extra: The Omen Trilogy

On June 25, 1976, drive-in theatres across the country kept the 70s Satanic panic alive with The Omen. It’s a chilling tale of a couple who unwittingly adopt the son of Satan. It was the first of a trilogy of films (well, technically four if you count that TV movie) and certainly has some Rosemary’s Baby vibes to it. And let’s be honest, The Omen may very well be the reason why Look What Happened to Rosemary’s Baby aired on TV in October of that same year.

So, while everyone is anxiously awaiting the next episode of the podcast in August, journey back to April 2019 and listen to episode 29 of the Classic Horrors Club Podcast. Jeff and I talk about The Omen (1976), Damien: Omen II (1978) and The Final Conflict (1981). Join us and then make sure you’re ready for episode 83 in August as our 4th Annual Summer at the Drive-In continues with Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964) and Reptilicus (1961)!
