MOVIES BASED ON THE SAME SCRIPT
EYE CREATURES AND
INVASION OF THE SAUCER-MEN
TWO COMPETE FILMS ON ONE EXTENDED DVD
FILM ONE THE EYE CREATURES (1965)
director: Larry Buchanan
starring: John Ashley · Cynthia Hull · Warren Hammack · Chet Davis ·
Donna Lindberg
Creatures
from outer space invade a small town in the USA. John Ashley, playing
Stan Kenyon, stars as a teenager attempting to elope with girlfriend
Susan but their plans are dashed when they accidentally run over one
of the aliens. They attempt to get help from the authorities; however
the pleas from the teenagers fall on deaf ears, forcing them to gather
their friends in an attempt to save the world.
This
was John Ashley's last attempt to make it in Hollywood after a long
line of "kids-in-trouble" melodramas, monster movies and in
the Beach Party films. He decided to accept an offer from a studio in
the Philippines and went there to make BRIDES OF BLOOD. Its success
led to many more, including MAD DOCTOR OF BLOOD ISLAND, BEAST
OF BLOOD and TWILIGHT PEOPLE and International popularity
for Ashley. He died from a heart attack at age 62, October 1997.
This
film is "Inspired by Invasion of the Saucer-men" but
it is actually shot from the same 1957 script and follows that script
very closely, right down to a line about an automobile named after Elvis
Presley.

FILM
TWO INVASION OF THE SAUCER-MEN (1957)
director: Edward L Cahn
starring: Steven Terrell · Gloria Castillo · Frank Gorshin · Ray Hatton
· Lyn Osborn
This
film is the original source for Larry Buchanan's Eye Creatures.
In Great Britain, it was released as Invasion of the Hell Creatures
(see ad below) and - quite surprisingly - rated as X [for adults]. The
movie is based on a SciFI short story called Cosmic Frame
by Paul W. Fairman.
The plot deals with a flying saucer landing in the woods near a teenager
lover's lane hangout. One young couple, Johnny and Joan, are driving
to the 'make-out' point with their headlights off [so they don't attract
the attention of a local farmer] when they accidentally run down one
of the roaming aliens.
