pretty standard atomic age alien invader story, with some fun alien puppet work

Now that I’ve finished the latest season of MST3K, I decided maybe now I’ll try to watch the entire series in order, something I’ve never done before. Might take a year or so, and admittedly the first season is kinda rough, but I say any time watching this series is a good time.

Decent monster movie too. Surprisingly a little bloody for the time period.
