Movie Details
Release Date: June 19, 1957.
Starring: Steven Terrell, Gloria Castillo, Frank Gorshin (famous for playing The Riddler in the 1960s Batman series), and Raymond Hatton.
Plot: When a flying saucer lands near a small town's "Lover's Lane," a group of teenagers accidentally runs over an alien. They soon discover that the creatures have detachable hands and kill their victims by injecting them with pure alcohol via needle-like claws. Because the adults refuse to believe them, the teens must take matters into their own hands, eventually discovering the aliens' fatal weakness: bright light.
Legacy: The film is well-known for its iconic alien designs by Paul Blaisdell, which featured large, veined heads and bug eyes. These designs famously served as an inspiration for the aliens in Tim Burton's 1996 film Mars Attacks!.
