AKA Invasion of the Saucer Men.

There's also a made for TV remake called Invasion of the Eye Creatures. Almost a shot for shot remake on an even lower budget.

The good (?) one (linked above) has Frank Gorshen (The Riddler from the Batman TV series)

Cockatoo? What Cockatoo? I don't see a Cockatoo!

This one scared the heck out of me at age 10. I had always remembered it because of the scary monsters. It took a few years to track it down as we had seen the blow for blow version done later which was even more bad- but finally found this one and I relived my childhood seeing it. Hope you all 'like' it.

As an added enticement, the film is only one hour 4 minutes long. So- -

Paula, the word you're looking for is 'some', or in extreme cases, 'a few'. But who cares - yes, let's all be 10-year-olds and scream when the aliens appear!

The flying saucer was blue. We'll take their word for it since it's filmed in black and white.

Well the narrator(?) did say there wasn't much for the young'uns to do there. Mind you, young 'uns then were a lot older than they are now.

Oh, no - she's going into the kitchen alone. The creeping claw might get her!

The darkness covers a multitude of mistakes like continuity, costuming of the alien, but not the story...
