The Professor and Mr. Drysdale too!

Well what can one say. This late 50's space monster movie has The Professor (from Gilligans Island) Mr. Drysdale (from The Beverly Hillbillies) and Mark McCain (from The Rifleman). Additionally former child star and later Addams Family Uncle Fester Jackie Coogan. While the story is slow moving and a tad on the weak side as far as Sci-Fi goes, watching some of these actors outside of their famous TV character roles makes this film enjoyable. MST3K of course got a hold of this one and adds a touch of flavor. It's still a fun if yet dry Science fiction yarn.

Trivia
The alien brain was created by special effects artist Ivyl Burks and used $3,300 of neon lights to create the glowing effect.

Goofs
Whenever the 'lightning' effect occurs as the holy blob uses his power, the shadows of both objects and people show up on the 'sky' and background elements revealing them to be back-drops in a studio.

Quotes
Bud Brewster: We found something that fell out of the sky this afternoon. We know where it is.
Anne Brewster: The sky?
Ken Brewster: Bud's telling the truth. I saw it too. It fell out of the sky. Well, you've got to believe him!
