You can't see me
It is the 50's and Dr. Karol Noymann (John Carradine) is messing around with atomics and gets irradiated. His carcass is buried. His friend Dr. Adam Penner (Philip Tonge) and co-worker decides his demise is not from any radiation but from trying to use it for military purposes.

Invisible beings who own the universe figure it is time to invade earth as they are getting too uppity with their new found atomics and rockets. So the give Dr. Adam Penner self comfiest pacifist the chance to spread the news of surrender or die. To get their point across they barrow Dr. Karol Noymann's carcass for a farewell performance.

The movie has all the standard sci-fi clichýs and formula where the girl half betrothed to the wimp 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 mater how campy if your are a kid this is one spooky movie.

Dressed To Kill, or Invisible-Invader Busters
Here's another fine effort by Edward L. Cahn, involving invisible aliens that take over the bodies of mostly well-dressed middle-class men. (And you feared you'd not get good use from that rented funeral suit).

It all begins when John Carradine gets blown to bits in his lab after a failed nuclear experiment. Nevermind he had to have been reduced to split atoms, those Invisibles someway cleverly reconstruct his body and procure him as their prophet of doom. Tell Washington what we're up to, Carradine-ala-Invader intones, or within 24 hours we'll unleash total mayhem. Well, Washington ignores the obvious and mayhem totally unleashes. Earth is terrorized, or rather stock footage of earthly disasters which appears all the more alarming as they are, indeed, genuinely frightening actual disaster footage.

To the rescue come two scientists, a daughter of a scientist (Jean Byron), and Major Bruce Jay (John Agar). They hide out in an underground bunker and fiddle with all sorts of dial-up knob-twisting technology and beakers of bubbly potions and steaming brews while peering worriedly at a closed-circuit television screen showing shots of the lurching undead gathering round their hideout preparing for attack. Nothing avails to cease the lurching crowd, until a disaster almost strikes within the bunker itself. I hate to spoil the ending, but an astute viewer shall catch definite shades of GHOSTBUSTERS within it. Saved in the nick of time, and the Nations of Earth learn their lessons and vow to quit all those silly nuclear experiments lest something like this happen again.

Certainly this premise must have appeared unsettling to audiences of the era. The atom bomb did threaten, the cold war was hot, and who knew what aliens lurked beyond suburbia? All in all, I maintain a healthy respect for Cahn and his subject matter. He worked the topics of the day with a sort of stylish, intelligent action-packed low-budget class. I also hold a notable respect for the scientist's daughter ~ never once was she seen with a hair out of place or mussed makeup. No matter how many pots of coffee she served up, or notes she had to take down in her white lab coat, or miles she put in behind the wheel of that truly cool vintage Invisible-Invader-bustermobile.

Invisible Invarders
this was a low budget film, but for it's time i found it to be scary, viewed this film at the age of nine and kept me awake. took notice a crash sequence was borrowed from another film. this movie is well worth purchasing for zombie movie fan's.

Invisible Invaders
I remember seing this movie when I was 7 or 8 years old, it terrified me then, but it doesn't get played much on t.v.

This movie if you watch it, shows us all where the ideas came from for those wonderful vombie movies like night, dawn and day of the dead. sheer fun to watch, laughable and creepie.
I highly recomend this great B movie.

pre-"Night of the Living Dead" zombie silliness
You know any movie that starts with John Carradine being blown to bits is destined for greatness. He plays a scientist playing with nuclear materials (didn't every '50s movie scientist do that?) who winds up extremely dead. He doesn't stay down for long, though. His corpse pays a visit to a fellow scientist and makes a rather stunning announcement: The corpse is occupied by an alien being, and the rest of his alien beings are gonna invade in 24 hours if Earth doesn't surrender. Well, Earth doesn't surrender, the scientist friend looks like a total loon, and the invasion begins. Lots of stock footage of stuff blowing up and collapsing follows, and the invisible aliens follow an unusual strategy: They possess the bodies of the recently dead and invade sporting events (represented, again, by much stock footage), spreading their message of surrender and impending doom. The scientist friend, his lovely daughter (Jean Byron) and another scientist (Robert Hutton) head out to the desert to work on a way to knock off the aliens, still wrecking havoc via stock footage. The party of three hooks up with John Agar, doing his best John Wayne impersonation, and they spend the rest of the movie dodging the walking dead and working on wiping the bad boys out.

This is all about as dumb as it sounds. The dead are sort of creepy, in a pre-Night-of-the-Living-Dead kind of way, but this flick was made on the cheap, so sets are minimal, acting is bad, and about half of the film is stock footage padding. In other words, it's totally entertaining.
