Thrill-crazed space kids on a ray gun rampage! A strange flying saucer lands in the desert near Hollywood, bringing a deadly menace to Earth: a mischievous gang of teenagers from outer space! Derek, the one alien who's not a hoodlum, makes his way into town and meets a cute little Earth girl, Betty Moran, who has stars in her eyes. "Interplanetary relations" begin. Thor, the teen alien bully, unleashes his pet Gargon monster. It grows to titanic proportions and devours it's way into the heart of Hollywood! Will Earth survive? This is Atomic Age entertainment at its best!

"Teenagers From Outer Space" Tony's Comments:
"Teenagers From Outer Space" is cheesy 50's sci-fi fun with slaphappy special effects that will put a smile on your face. You won't believe your eyes when you see the lobster-type alien monsters wreaking havoc on planet earth. It is interesting to note that the film's star, David Love has the birth name Charles Robert Kaltenthaler and Tom Graeff (the film's director) is sometimes known as David Love or Tom Lockyear. It seems to me that the director is the star or the star is the director, whatever the case may be "Teenagers From Outer Space" is certainly a curiosity piece and well worth a look at.

Teenagers From Outer Space [DVD](1959) DVD
Sure, lots of people in the '50s thought teens were strange beings from another world, but in this sci-fi howler they were right! What's more, these interplanetary J.D.s have brought their flesh-dissolving ray and giant lobsters with them! Can Earth survive? And what about "torture!"? With David Love, Dawn Anderson and Tom Graeff (aka writer/director Tom Lockyear). 86 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English mono; scene access.
