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!

Not bad at all!

I have yet to see this movie un-mstied but would love to as I think it's a pretty damn good movie. This is one of the rare cases of mst3k being way off the mark in choosing this movie. Don't get me wrong, I loved the episode and their were some great riffs but I couldn't help but think that this movie was not nearly as bad as Mike, Crow and Tom (or any of these reviewers here) made it out to be. I will admit thought that on first watching it I did feel that the kids were being somewhat (but not completely) controlled by the alien but on repeated viewings it does appear that that is certainly not the case. I really need to see the unedited, un-mstied version, this is a b-movie classic in my humble opinion.
