While not the cream of the 1950's sci-fi movies, the films in this series are definitely not the dregs either. Made on shoestring budgets, they are excellent examples of what lured audiences into theatres half a century ago--with promises of futuristic thrills and excitement! More often than not, they delivered on those promises! And still do.

JULY 4-7

INVADERS FROM MARS (NR/1953/78 min.)
A little boy witnesses a flying saucer land in a sandy field behind his home. But no one will believe his story as, one by one, his parents and prominent townspeople are placed under the control of sinister forces from Mars. Atomic Age paranoia is effectively addressed--through the youngster's eyes--with surreal imagery created by Oscar winning set designer and director William Cameron Menzies. Stars include Helena Carter, Arthur Franz and Jimmy Hunt.

I MARRIED A MONSTER FROM OUTER SPACE (NR/1958/77 min.)
A distraught wife is alarmed by changes in her new husband--who's been acting strangely since their wedding night. And for good reason: he--and most of the other men in the community--have been taken over by grotesque aliens who hope, by procreating with human women, to revive their dying race. Creepy moments abound in this chiller starring Tom Tryon and Gloria Talbot.
