TEENAGERS FROM OUTER SPACE (1959) - This film was kinda like watching LEAVE IT TO BEAVER meets aliens only without the Beaver. The aliens surprisingly use ray guns to kill humans resulting in there being nothing left except the skeleton of the victim. Closer examination of the wired together skeletons reveal them to be science dept. skeletons you would normally find in any science class. This movie also has one of the worst special effects of any giant monster film as they us the shadow of a lobster to create the horrid giant monster! The dialogue of the good alien teenager reveal his true origins is to funny. Overall the film is terrible, but yet better than TEENAGE ZOMBIES (1959) of the same year.

The head alien is played by King Moody, who later played Starker on Get Smart and Ronald McDonald.
Oh, yes. I first saw this one as a kid and actually had a nightmare about the girl in the swimming pool.
I really liked this movie. I like the overacting and the lobster thing.
As I was watching this film I kept thinking: either I'm watching a very bad movie or I'm sitting in the dentist office and he shot my brain full of novacaine. But I think I'll watch it again anyway. Maybe I missed something.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is like a Tim Burton film without Tim Burton.
Interestingly enough, the director/writer of the film is gay, the main character "Darek" was his boyfriend and in the end of his life I beleive the director went crazy in hollywood and thought he was jesus.
