A trailer a day keeps the Boogeyman away! The Man From Planet X (1951)
THE MAN FROM PLANET X (1951)
Keep watching the skies!” Science Fiction cinema of the 1950s- The year is 1951- Part 2
Directed by Edgar G. Ulmer (The Black Cat 1934, Detour, 1945) and starring Raymond Bondas, Professor Elliot, who is accompanied by his daughter Enid (Margaret Field), sets up an Observatory on a remote Scottish island to study a rogue planet that is heading toward Earth.
Robert Clarke plays John Lawrence, a reporter who shows up right after the spaceship from Planet X lands near the observatory. Also starring William Schallert as Dr. Mears, Professor Elliot’s assistant, who tries to communicate with the man from Planet X.
Is this adorable, rubbery astronaut in a silver-tubed space suit, good-natured or an enemy to the people of Earth? Your heart will pound, your pulse will throb…!
Prof. Elliot-“A face…a human face?”
Enid Elliot-“A ghastly caricature, like something distorted by pressure… a horrible, grotesque imitation looking right in my eyes!”
I actually had the rubber action figure of The Man From Planet X. In the 70s, they had put out a series of replicas from various sci-fi movies. I also had the winged angel from Barbarella. Either Octaman or one of the Green Slime, I can’t quite recall the detail work, (sad to say, I’m getting to be an older MonsterGirl) Plus, I had the Red Devil alien from Angry Red Planet!
Do any of you remember these action figures as well? I’d love to hear from you!

A trailer a day keeps the Boogeyman away! I Married A Monster From Outer Space
I MARRIED A MONSTER FROM OUTER SPACE (1958)
Directed by Gene Fowler Jr. and starring Tom Tryon (he just happened to write 2 of the BEST psychological/supernatural stories The Other, and The Dark Secrets of Harvest Home) who plays Bill Farrell a regular guy newly married to Marge Bradley Farrell (Gloria Talbott) who’s body is taken over by an Alien from Outer Space. Bills’ body is left as a dead shell in the woods.
The Aliens are invading with the purpose of mating with earth women! Gee I thought most earth men had the same idea!
Anyway, the Aliens begin switching places with the real humans. But Marge is no dope. She starts to realize that something’s very wrong with Bill, Alien Bill wants to have children with Marge anyway. Has he fallen for this earth girl?
Much like Invasion of The Body Snatchers 1956, this wonderful sci-fi thriller from the 50s evokes the period’s sense of paranoia, as the townspeople are slowly being taken over by an alien force!
 “Shuddery things from beyond the stars, here to breed with human women!”

A trailer a day keeps the Boogeyman away! Look In Any Window (1961)
LOOK IN ANY WINDOW 1961
In the 60’s Paul Anka was considered a dreamy teen idol. In Look In Any Window directed by William Alland (more known for his work as producer Creature From The Black Lagoon 1954, The Deadly Mantis 1957, Tarantula 1955, This Island Earth 1955 stop me I could go on and on!) , Anka plays the very distressed Craig Fowler, a troubled young man who is surrounded by inappropriate, over sexed adults, and very dysfunctional parents played by Ruth Roman and Alex Nicol as Jackie and Jay Fowler.
Craig’s world stinks, as his mother is an unhappy woman starved for attention, and he witnesses his father Jay erupt into a mess while on a drinking binge, after losing his job and his ‘manhood’.
It’s ever so angst ridden for the boy being crowded by so many pathetic adults and oh…the ‘Suburbia Traumatica’Â of it all! The film rips wide open the myth of clean suburban living and the even more mythic ‘All American Family.’
The entire neighborhood is on the prowl in this film. Carole Mathews plays Betty Lowell who’s lecherous husband steps out on her every chance he gets. Perfect for the role of the womanizing Gareth Lowell is the wonderfully slickety and smarmy Jack Cassidy.
While all the adult drama and provocative neighborly love is going on, an attraction starts to bloom between Craig and Betty’s daughter Eileen (Gigi Perreau).
And what about the secret compulsion that Craig is hiding!How about his naughty proclivity for peering into windows!
Anka sings the theme song, “Look In Any Window” with a breathy tone that makes your skin crawl…creepy yes, haunting… not so much.
