Invasion of the Saucer Men poster

From Wiki-  Invasion of the Saucer Men (U.K. title: Invasion of the Hell Creatures; working title: Spacemen Saturday Night), is a 1957 black-and-white comic science fiction/comedy horror film produced by James H. Nicholson for release by American International Pictures. The film was directed by Edward L. Cahn and stars Stephen Terrell, Gloria Castillo, Raymond Hatton, and Frank Gorshin. The alien costumes were designed by Paul Blaisdell, who played one of the creatures in the film, along with dwarf actor Angelo Rossitto and Blaisdell's friend Bob Burns III. Special effects were handled by Howard A. Anderson and Alex Weldon, and Don Ament was Art Director.[1]

The screenplay by Robert J. Gurney Jr. and Al Martin was based on the 1955 short story "The Cosmic Frame" by Paul W. Fairman. Invasion of the Saucer Men was released as a double feature with I Was a Teenage Werewolf (1957).[2]  back to me:

The Witches Attack Santo!

This is one oddball lucha movie.  I have thoughts.

Here is the final review of the first season.  It ends with an exciting episode, though one may wonder about all the stock footage in it.

The Navy vs. The Night Monsters is headed your way!

I doubt Sven will ever air this, unless a better copy shows up.  The print I watched sixteen years ago is still awful.  I see there is a Blu Ray out, so I may have to make a change to my podcast plans...
 

1006. The fatal Five Eville Women review!

This is what happens if you have to wing an episode overall.

Santo Attacks the Witches

Really, it should have been The Witches attack Santo, since that is what they do.

Villain of the Week- The Space Phantom

From Wiki- Immortus traps individuals who become lost in Limbo, and due to the nature of that plane, they begin to forget their former lives and change into misshapen beings. Immortus conditions these into servants who can perpetuate his schemes and manipulations of historical events. The Phantoms can assimilate anyone, even to the point of torture and escaping notice of even mind-readers.  The first Space Phantom is introduced in The Avengers #2, where he assumes the form of Giant-Man, Iron Man, and Hulk. During his battle with the Avengers, he first copies the Hulk, and battles Iron Man. He transforms into a flying insect to escape, but Iron Man continues to battle the Hulk. The Space Phantom attacks the Wasp in his insect form, and then transforms into Giant-Man. After fighting Iron Man, he takes Iron Man's form. The Space Phantom finally attempts to copy Thor and is returned to Limbo because his powers cannot affect Asgardians.[12]  Back to me:
