Space Aliens I - Phantom from Space

We interrupt our regularly scheduled blogging to inform you that Earth is being invaded by aliens from outer space! Well, not really (so far as we know). But today is April Fools’ Day, and we wanted to do something special to mark this occasion. So, today we’re bringing you a special Space Aliens Double Feature.

Part I of our Double Feature is a 1953 sci-fi movie, Phantom from Space. The story line involves an invisible alien in a weird spacesuit who lands in Santa Monica, California.

Phantom from Space was directed by W. Lee Wilder and Mack V. Wright, produced by W. Lee Wilder, and written by William Raynor and Myles Wilder.
