THE THEATER WAS MOSTLY EMPTY, AS THE LOCALS APPARENTLY preferred gambling to motion pictures. Jimmy sat wide-eyed, munching his popcorn, while Clark pondered the implications of this latest installment in the current “evil alien” film genre. As they left, both were unsettled (though for different reasons) by the frightening invasion of “pod-people,” capped by Kevin McCarthy’s paranoid tour-de-force performance at the end. They’re coming! They’re coming!

As they returned to the Atomic Age Motel, knowing they had to get up early for the long drive out into the desert, Jimmy finally asked the question on his mind. “Do you suppose there could be aliens walking among us—ones that look just like people, so we can never tell? More aliens…not just Superman?”

Clark automatically brushed aside the idea. “It’s just a movie, Jimmy. It’s supposed to scare you—for fun. It’s not real.”

Jimmy nodded, abashed. “You’re probably right, Mr. Kent.” Clark gave the young man’s shoulder a comforting pat, and they walked toward their room in silence, thinking their own thoughts.
