The best things about this ludicrous little cheapie are young Frank
Gorshin's (later "The Riddler" in the 1960s TV Series,"Batman")acting
performance - a shame he was killed off fairly early in the film -
and Paul Blaisdell's alien creature designs, the bulbous-headed little
devils are so pugnaciously cute as to be irresistably charming.
However, to cite the dismal shortcomings of this film would take
several pages. Probably only the 1950s sci-fi film aficionado would
want to watch it with any semblance of regularity.
The best scene is also the most hilarious, which features a gory
battle between one of the aliens and a bull! The alien spacecraft,
which accidently gets blown up by a human's cutting torch, is also
good for a few chuckles. - AH
Did you ever see the B&W production of "She" (of the North?) done in the 30s? Ice caves and stuff. Saw it re-run in the early 50s, about the same time George Pal's "Destination Moon" came out. No PuppetToons that Pal was noted for, just a straight adventure film in color with live actors; great FX for the time. Thought it was very cool--I was just getting into sci-fi mags and books and thought a ride to Mars or the moon would be exceptional.And then, there's the cult flick, "Invasion of the Killer Tomatoes". Haven't seen that for a few...

Never saw "She", would like to though. I understand it has been
made several times and is still awaiting a definitive version.
"Invasion of the Killer Tomatoes" is not a fave of mine but does
have a following, as does "Night of the Lepers". I recommend
"Killer Klowns From Outer Space" if you've not seen it; it's built
up a nice cult following of its own. - AH

... there is a truly awful Z grade flick made in the early 70s called "Night of the Lepus" (from the latin name for rabbit). It concerns small town peoples being monstered by, yes - you guessed it HUGE MUTATED BUNNY RABBITS! I'm not sure whether the best part was the stunt men dressed in easter bunny costumes, or watching poor embarrased DeForrest Kelley hoping none of his Trek fans saw him slumming it in this stinker.Thanx for the memories - I'd forgotten this one!

Does anyone recall "Teenage Werewolves From Outer Space?" Mygod, you talk about bad! Can't remember much else but the title, it was so bad.
