THE INVADERS : Wheezing Men Running From Aliens

THE INVADERS: Wall of Crystal, episode 7

Purchased at Looney Tunes in Boston, November 2010


I picked this gem up for .99cents thinking that any show about invading Aliens from 1967 is worth watching, I was right. Tonight's episode guest stars Ed Asner as an evil Alien hell bent on keeping our hero quiet, and Burgess Meredith as the lovably frank television celebrity reporter/personality. Our story revolves around architect David Vincent who after witnessing a flying saucer late one night, quit his career and now desperately tries to expose and undermine the secret invasion!
In this suspense filled show the Aliens, who can vaporize anything they damn well please, resort to petty thuggery by kidnapping David's brother Bob and Blackmailing David just to keep him from blabbing to the press. 
Fun bits include toxic evaporating crystals, wheezing men running around, Lazers and a showdown at the abandoned winery by the dried up creek. True to scifi of this era in American television, this thrilling series is set to overly dramatic orchestral music Ba Bum Dun Bum Dun Dun Dun DUN DUN!
Bottom line is if you like syndicated scifi like the early X-files or are into films like Pod People, you are sure to find this show about Boogey Men From Outerspace a hoot!
