I love 'The Earth vs The Flying Saucers' .. I remember as a little girl sneaking downstairs to watch the Late Show and the 'live' announcer kept telling people that it was only a movie.

I also like    .. 'The Day the Earth Stood Still'

'Killers from Space'
'Target Earth'


and others that I can't think of at the moment

[McDougals House of Horror]

Invaders From Mars

"Gee whiz!"


A "gee whiz" for me -- yours truly with Jimmy Hunt


Scary as hell for a kid -- hey Dad, what happened to your neck?...


And the terrifying sand pit with its haunting choral theme...

Invasion of the Saucermen (glorious B-movie masterpiece)

[McDougals House of Horror]

Hey, it's round! Yeah, we finally got one, we found a flying saucer...


That thing is alive, I saw it!...


"I send you a warning -- watch the skies! Keep watching!"...

How's Killers From Space? I'm not recalling that one. I own the others, Target Earth is a fave of mine. I reviewed that in a 'Robots' post last year

If "Killer Klowns from Outer Space" had come out in the '50s, it would be high on my list.

I agree , it's amazing how that film captured the feel of the earlier movies , it was great fun!



The Big Top Spaceship looks like a big top tent



The big top was the flying saucer and it buried itself under the ground like Invaders from Mars , it actually looked like a big toy top when it takes off.

It's been many years since I've seen it .. recall it as being fun and cheesy starring Peter Graves .. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killers_from_Space
