I saw it when it first came out.


I really got a kick out of this movie when I was a kid. I saw it when it was first released, at the Atwater Theater in Atwater Calif. The old theater is long gone now. I waited many many years to get to see it again. For some reason it was with held from television for a long time. The alien 'suits' were great and I especially loved that hand held weapon of theirs. I wish I remembered what the second feature was. Some trivia; Admission was 35 cents. A hot dog was 25 cents. Ice cream bon-bons were 10 cents and a Milky Way bar cost a nickel.... Those were the days!

Thanks for sharing. I too was a kid when it came out, but we didn't go to very many movies, especially the scary kind. But I do recall the cheap admission, etc. from those days.

Some more trivia, Wizard: I got my first job, as a dishwasher, ~1958. My salary was $21 a week, before taxes..
