“Invisible Invaders”
You can’t see me
It is the 1950s, and Dr. Karol Noymann (John Carradine) is experimenting with atomic energy and gets irradiated. His carcass is buried. His friend, Dr. Adam Penner (Philip Tonge), and co-worker decide his demise is not from any radiation but from trying to use it for military purposes.
Invisible beings who own the universe believe it is time to invade Earth, as they are becoming too uppity with their newfound atomic capabilities and rockets. So they give Dr. Adam Penner self comfiest pacifist the chance to spread the news of surrender or die. To get their point across, they borrow Dr. Karol Noymann’s carcass for a farewell performance.
The movie has all the standard sci-fi clichés and formula, where the girl, half-betrothed to the wimp who is second in command, really goes for the strong-willed military type.
Lots of stock film and a “Plan 9” feel make this a film classic. No matter how campy, if you are a kid, this is one spooky movie.

“Journey to the Seventh Planet”
The original blue light special
The year 2001. The earth has learned to live together. We all live under the U.N. and have turned our attention to exploring the planets.
A spaceship full of, shall we say girl starved, girl-starved spacemen is headed for U-r-a-n-u-s to investigate strange radiation and the possibility of life.
The crew:
John Agar... Capt. Don Graham
Carl Ottosen... Eric
Peter Monch... Karl
Ove Sprogøe... Barry O'Sullivan
Louis Miehe-Renard... Svend
They are not prepared for what they will encounter. I can not tell of most, but some encounters are:
Ann Smyrner... Ingrid
Greta Thyssen... Greta
Ulla Moritz... Lise
Mimi Heinrich... Ursula
Annie Birgit Garde... Ellen
Bente Juel... Colleen
As an added treat, we get to hear the song “Journey to the Seventh Planet” sung by Otto Brandenburg.
