I remember that the Glen Oaks was where I first experienced the horror of “Alien” in 1979.

It was a great little neighborhood theater in the 70’s and 80’s, often showing economical double features. It was also my introduction to R-rated horror movies which were thrilling. I remember seeing “Friday the 13th,” “Halloween,” “The Thing,” “Cat People,” “Nighthawks,” and “Airplane.” The owner used to make the rounds during the show to make sure the kids weren’t being too disruptive. When the Douglaston MovieWorld multiplex opened in the early 1980’s though, we knew it was just a matter of time before the Little Neck would close up shop. I still miss it.
