anyone notice that John Carradine's initials are JC? I bet he'll resurrect one night.

Blasphemer!!! Even 20th Century-Fox wouldn't allow Gort to resurrect "Mr. Carpenter" more than temporarily in this movie's antecedent film TDTESS. Gee, ya think there's some hidden symbolism in all these religious allusions?

Wandering the ancient benches of my home and not too far from the sewage treatment plant, I chanced to think I should view this "Cosmic" dumping ground once again. Even the remake of the earth standing still was too rancoid and to think I actually saw it in a theater. JC always gave pleasure even when skinny dipping on "Frankenstein Island". Ahh, the memories it foments!

Geeze, TDF, and you're the one who takes others to task for finding faults in similar films of the period.

TCM (what a coinkydink) isn't such a bad little film at all. JC was much better and more fun in this than in The Incredible Petrified World, and the golf ball (or, if you prefer, orange) he arrived in hovered very realistically.

Of course, when it comes to resurrections, having the initials JC always helps.

Incidentally, since you mentioned your local sewage treatment plant, you may be aware that the rocket base of "Operation Sky Hook" in Earth vs. the Flying Saucers was actually the sewage treatment plant in Santa Barbara, California, c. September, 1955.

The previous intervals between posts on this thread are interesting, and not only for the number of years between them. Your OP was on my birthday, and I made my immediate [=3 years] reply on my mother's b'day. Yours doesn't happen to be Nov. 3 by any chance, does it?

Nay, mine was Aug 22 and my anniversary day is Jan 22 so U can do a numerology chart on that and know all.

I assume whenever U get to the West coast you'll visit that sewage treatment site in Santa Barbara just to take the aires. Rich though they may be, I'm sure you'll want to view some of the other sites of filmic richness. Perhaps, the Piedras Blancas light house which I have never been able to find when I was in Piedras Blancas. Palos Verdes, where many films have been staged and not forgetting, Griffith Park, where the planetarium has figured in hundreds of mellers or is that smellers? At the very foot of Griffith is Bronson Canyon where hundreds of pieces of sci/fi bilge have been cobbled together. For exact maps be sure and contact Master Blaster himself, Mr. Escalera.
