The Phantom Planet


 From Wiki- The Phantom Planet is a 1961 independently made American black-and-white science fiction film, produced by Fred Gebhardt, directed by William Marshall, that stars Dean Fredericks, Coleen Gray, Anthony Dexter, and Francis X. Bushman.[2] It was the first credited film appearance of Richard Kiel, although he is unrecognizable in a masked monster costume. The film was released on December 13, 1961 in the U.S. by American International Pictures[3] as a double feature with Assignment Outer Space (1960). 

I saw this as a kid, and enjoyed it back then, and still like it a lot now.  Is it great?  Nope, but it is fun.  And the effects are pretty decent!
