In the late 1950s or early 1960s I watched a movie on television that scared the hell out of me. Help! Do you know what movie it was?
It was about a jovial group of friends who went on a picnic where they took turns going up in a glider plane in smaller groups. One of these small groups of friends went up in the glider plane and neither the plane or the group returned.
Either on the first anniversary of the disappearance of the glider and their friends, or years later on the anniversary of the disappearance of the glider and their friends, the surviving friends went to the exact same location to picnic and remember their friends.
And guess what . . . the glider returned and in it were the skeletons of their friends.
Scary stuff!
Do you know the name of this movie, or maybe it was a Twilight Zone or Outer Limits. Help! I want to see this again.
UNK SEZ: Thanks for writing in, M.W.! I got lucky with some googling and I think I found your Skeleton Glider Picnic! It seems you are remembering an episode of ONE STEP BEYOND entitled "Reunion". If the Youtube comments are any indication you are not the only person with a strong memory of this episode. Interestingly, there seems to be some debate about wether the skeleton was originally shown or if viewers just remember it that way based on the narrator's description. Watch below and let us know if it is anything like you remember!
