- An alien spacecraft comes to Earth, while searching the galaxy for a planet suitable to raise "gargons," a lobster-like (but air-breathing) creature which is a delicacy on their homeworld. Thor (Bryan Grant), the lead alien, shows his contempt for Earth's creatures by vaporizing a dog named Sparky. Crewmember Derek (David Love), after discovering an inscription on Sparky's dog tag, fears that the gargon might destroy Earth's local inhabitants, making the other spacemen scoff. Being members of the "supreme race", they disdain "foreign beings," no matter how intelligent and pride themselves that families and friendships are forbidden on their world. Derek turns out to be a member of an underground which commemorates more humane periods of his world's history. Their one gargon seems to be sick in Earth's atmosphere. While his crewmates are distracted, Derek flees. Eventually, the gargon seems to revive. When the Captain reports Derek's actions, he is connected to the Leader (Gene Sterling) himself. It turns out that Derek is the Leader's son, though Derek is unaware of this. Thor is sent to hunt Derek down, with orders to kill to protect the mission. They return to their base, leaving the gargon behind.
Meanwhile, Derek finds the home address found on the dog tag. He meets Betty Morgan (Dawn Anderson) and her Grandpa Joe (Harvey B. Dunn). They have a room to rent, and Derek inadvertently becomes a boarder. When Betty's boyfriend, reporter Joe Rogers (Tom Graeff), can't make their afternoon plans, Derek tags along with Betty. He shows the tag to Betty, who recognizes it immediately. Derek takes her to the place where the ship landed, and shows her Sparky's remains. She doesn't believe him, so he describes Thor's weapon that that vaporizes flesh. Betty takes this surprisingly well and vows to help Derek stop the bad guys. For the rest of the day Betty and Derek have several run-ins with Thor and Joe follows up on stories of skeletons popping up all over town, including in Alice's swimming pool. Eventually Thor is wounded and he kidnaps Betty and Derek for medical attention, he reveals Derek's true parentage. Two car chases and a gunfight ensue and Thor is finally captured by authorities after plummeting off a cliff in a stolen car.
But there are bigger problems: the gargon has grown immensely, killing a policeman investigating the landing site and attacking numerous people. Derek and Betty go to the car wreck to look for Thor's gun. They share a kiss, and Derek vows to stay on Earth. When the gargon ruins their romantic moment, Derek finds the gun just in time for them to escape. Unfortunately the gun is damaged and the monster is heading toward the town. They head out once again to confront it, using power lines to fuel the disintegrator. They kill the gargon, but it's too late as enemy ships suddenly appear overhead. The whole gang, including Joe and Grandpa, hurries out to the landing site. Derek reunites with his father and makes the ultimate sacrifice by leading the fleet directly into the hillside, causing a massive explosion. Derek does not survive, but is remembered for declairing, "I shall make the Earth my home. And I shall never, never leave it."

Gramps the champ. He managed to keep a cool even head throughout this whole ordeal… and he still got in at least two naps! Legend.
Movies like this can never be duplicated ever again... special time and I was part of it.
thank goodness for that !!
You smell like dog shit
@@rhuephus If your parents were moral enough to be married and remain that way you had a good childhood. Don't try to tell us our memories. Mom cooked. we din't grow up on fast food. and nobody was FAT.
I know what you mean, exactly.
Yes, l remember this one and l loved it as a kid. The only thing, l didn’t like, was when they killed that poor dog. I loved watching these old black and white classic sci fi movies. I had a crush on that young actor.
He stayed and started the Red Lobster chain.
it is fun to watch these old black and white films if only to see the cars, clothes and hair styles...
I was in high school when this was made !!
I was in my mother's ovary when this was made. Took me a while, but I got to where I needed to go.

Aren't MOST TEENAGERS FROM OUTER SPACE?? Certainly my parents thought so lol
“Look at that monster lobster! We’ll never get enough butter.”
And the Noise it makes sounds like a bad ugly actor that couldn't get a part❗
Yes they look older than kids.
Giant lobster, cool, get the butter lol.
Good movie had shoot out, pretty girls, high speed chase, what else can you ask for.
Lol lol
That's funny -- about the butter!!
It wasn't a rock. It was a rock lobster ! Loved every minute ! Thanks for posting ! ! !
😂😂😂😂
Lol 🤣🤣💯
Down! Down!....
How was this movie snubbed by the Academy Awards? The acting was text book. The space ship looked amazing real. Special effects? One word….incredible. That gargon looked a lot like a giant lobster silhouette.
Smartass
Pat Boone was proud when them boys stepped out wearing them white shoes
Pretty special if the silly girl gets pregnant and has a monster from another planet. Special education short bus.
You're taking the mickey aren't you
No wonder people started doing drugs.
This brought back an early childhood memory, I was maybe 5 years old and this movie was on the TV. I didn't get the plot except there was a bad guy from space turning people into skeletons with a disintegrator ray gun and I thought that was incredibly cool. I remember getting as far as the part where the bad guy says I can hear you breathing, and my mom came in and didn't think much of the movie. I protested and said he's got a disintegrator ray mom! She was unimpressed and changed the channel.
That must've been a delight to finish watching this great flick after so many years
I know what you mean. I went to the movies to see this one. My mom didn't get it either.
Corny to the last drop but still campy fun
What an underrated masterpiece. Still one of my most faves!
I'm just mad he killed that little dog..
Thanks for the heads up. I won’t watch the movie now.
This is a million times better than The Last Jedi.
oooooo burn!!
that dose not take much
Mail, don't be a homophobe! If this is the case. Are you referring to yourself ?
@@carleavesceo709 HUH?
Yes, Clay Coates CEOS' are people too. Some of us enjoy sci-fi.
The "teenagers" look to be almost 30.
they were aliens they made a mistake
Sounds catchier than the 30-somethings form outer space though!!!
nice!
Yet we know they are teenagers because they are surly, dress funny, and become rebellious over things they read in books.
Eble oni maljuniĝas pli rapide ekstertere.
Gramps is so chill while aliens are invading his serenity.
Obviously these invaders had a bone to pick with us earthlings! Sorry someone had to say it.
hahahahahahahaha
Haha 😄
Ha ha good one!😹
😂😂😂
It seems this movie was made with a skeleton crew.
"Derek" has some Harry Connick Jr. resemblance going on.
I saw this movie many times over the years.
Fun and enjoyable science fiction.
Agreed.
To me he reminds very much like a son of Michael Rennie the space being from another world in the movie 'the day the world Stood Still"
I can see that. Strangely I can also see Jello Biafra.

“It grows heavy in my hands. Now it’s limp and does not move.”
Story of my life !

My life after 60. Lol
ALTERNATIVE ENDING: Our hero cries out, "I need more power!" As he holds his formerly useless apparatus firmly with both hands, Derek squeezes mightily and suddenly feels a strong intense surge flow through his hands. With great focus, our hero directs a powerful but timely, full frontal blast directly into the face of his nemesis and dispatches the fishy smelling beast before his weapon is spent and is once again rendered useless.
Relieved and breathing heavily, Derek then turns to our heroine, Betty, and says, "I know what it is I must do now." "To fully complete my task here I shall require two items. "First, I must have access to what your people call tissue to remove any errant residual matter of my power blast." "And, secondly I will need an oral respiratory decompression device." "It is what your people call, A CIG-AR-ETTE."
With several deep inhalations and exhalations, Derek extinguishes the device. And with one long and passionate kiss, and several hearty handshakes, our hero bids farewell to Betty, the object of his earthly affection, and his newfound friends. Then boarding the interstellar craft that will return him to his home world, Derek waves one final time and departs earth.
Derek's efforts to defeat his people's plan to transform earth into a global Red Lobster holding tank for the Gorgons were successful much to their dismay. His people's goal for interstellar Lobsterfests and Crawdad Boils will have to wait.
"Teenagers from Uranus." They came too fast!
This movie is to cute and simple to make fun of. It made me smile and I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for uploading and sharing it.
I see it as having an essential innocence to it. It is a good time capsule of the 1950s.
This is still better than the garbage coming out of Hollywood today.
obviously
+rellik187redrum it's still quite fun to watch, the 50s was a superb time for all nations
+Lee Larson I was kid when I say this and I loved it then and I still do. The ending
to me was so sad
And with the exception of news and sports...better than almost anything on television!!!
The actors and sports 'celebrities' of today see themselves as 'gods' as the simple see them. We buy their political views to shape our worlds because they are 'famous' and therefore compared to our own puny lives they are flimsy gods and know best.
I always chuckle when he asks the guy to translate the dog tag address while speaking and understanding English .
Presumably he would be able to read English also.
Still one of my favorites from the 50s.
I like it also and I was starting HS in 1959.
well ... a lot of high school grads can speak English .. but can't read or write - or do math
His name is Derek, all aliens have American names.
The human skeleton, they didn't take the hook off the top of the head where they hung it up, LOL. The gargon looked identical to our lobsters - this show is hilarious.
Imagine those quarrelsome, overaged teens cooped up in that tiny flying saucer
Imagine thinking isolation was a punishment.
Like a clown car, that prop. They are old. From the title I imagined it would be a Gidget kind of movie with teens doing whatever they want, Daddio.
LOVE the Method Acting. And dialogue ...
"Say, where is Betty?"
That is one big lobster. There’s enough lobster for the whole town
Arthur Everett I HAVE NOT BEEN DRINKING
Dawn Anderson was spectacular in the role of Betty Morgan.
Betty Morgan Reminds Me Of A Young Ellen Greene. Heck I Even Want Lord Hater To Kidnap Her Along With Joan (Invasion of The Saucer Men) And Susan (Attack Of The Eye Creatures)
She was no Hope Emerson, but Dawn was splendid in the role & lovely to look at !!
@@jubalcalif9100I thought you meant Hillary Brooke.
I thought she reminded me of a young Lesley Anne Warren
No, Dawn could actually act.
"You are not familiar with the focusing disintegrator ray?"
This movie was rated worst Sci Fi movie ever made. I love it!!!!
That is quite an accomplishment. !!!
Jochapatte I thought plane 9 from outer space was the worst, just watch and look at there "monster" just funny.
@@harveyvargas5732 Plan 9 is the all time worst
Plan Nine From Outer Space got honor ...look it up ...
It is terrible...
I swear, I've seen that same cave in a million 1950's sci-fi movies.
When they were looking for the disintegrator they parked the 51 Merc just north of Dead Man's Curve on Mulholland drive. You can see it in the background.
Yes,l me too. That cave can be seen in the Rifleman, Gunsmoke, and Highway Patrol and many other shows.
No skeleton was injured in the making of this movie.
I saw a blot in the hip of the professors skeleton - I love it!
That's so funny !!!!!
The skeleton in the car at the gas station had a screw eye on top of its head
Oh my ! You will let me live here ?
Betty has the hots for Derek !!!
This is one of my favorites! I always reference it when I'm talking about Old School B's... It has every thing, even classic cars - fresh off the lot.
As if teenagers from Earth aren't scary enough...
LOL.They leave an office with a phone in it, and go out to find a pay phone.
I laughed at the same moment.
This is one of the best sci fi movies ever made! I know... I know... many will call me crazy, but I stand by my statement and TEENAGERS FROM OUTER SPACE is my all time favorite sci fi movie ever!
It's a beautifully made sci fi movie! Sweet, endearing, science fiction, romantic, aliens, even the music puts me in a "happy place"!
How can anyone not adore this wonderful sci fi movie! I love watching this movie over and over and never get enough of this beautiful sci fi movie! It truly is my favorite!!
I feel the same!
So.... you have a Gargon fetish too, eh?
🤣🤣🤣😎👍
what you been smoking ??
@@rhuephus
LOL! Does it matter? This movie if funny no matter what frame of mind yer in.
🤣🤣🤣😎👍
Some of the particularly creepy music here was later used to much better effect in "Night of the Living Dead."
And “Scott McCloud Space Angel”!
A masterpiece of the cinematic arts. Often imitated, never equaled.
Indubitably ! Probably the epitome of cinematic achievement.
Don’t know which is more memorable, the scintillating dialogue (“what has happened?” “I do not know.”) the impressive cinematography, the outstanding wardrobe, the highly trained actors who are determined to rise above the harrowing tale, or the unrelenting suspense that leaves the viewer white-knuckled and too scared to look and even more scared not to look. Just have one question: how many Oscars did this flick win?
LoL!
we were not watching the same movie ha ha. it won 1 oscars for the first movie to stink over T.V.
This makes Plan 9 From Outer Space look like an Oscar winner.
No shit!
Ha!
I liked this better...That Ray Gun was great"
Well played mr bond
Na, plan 9 is much worse. I just looked at that, P9 is terrible.
Grandpa volunteered way too much information but in my book he’s pretty groovy!
He's no cats meow. But I can dig it 😂
Trusting person.
Grandpa is the bee's knees
@@jon420 Indubitably ! When he was in college back in the 20s he probably wore a racoon coat & had a "Chicken Inspector" badge.
I was a teen myself when I first saw this wonderful movie.
I was about 6 years old when is first saw this at the drive inn in port arthur tx. this is when i first learned about the term FLYING SAUCER . that poor dog, when i got home i gave my dog extra treats and hugged him. no saucer people were going to hurt my RUSTY .
One of the great Timeless Classic Movies of all time! Created in the same year as Ben-Hur.
That's why it didn't win,,,,
"Missed the academy award by THAT much!" -- Maxwell Smart
@FlagstaffChi Is sorry about that chief ef
How did these actors manage to deliver these lines without cracking up?
As I do when I take off my hat, you make a good point !
Because it was taken serious, when filmed..simple
@@rw717 I'm 76, and I don't remember anybody ever talking the way they did in these old movies.
They were threatened.
Although the dialogue was delivered in a stiff fashion....I still , somehow, enjoyed watching this movie. The soundtrack was hijacked for "Night of the Living Dead" (1968).....just an FYI
I have found that a some bad movies have an odd kind of appeal about them, despite their obvious flaws. It's as though there is something buried in them, something hiding behind their badness, that is not immediately obvious, but for the life of me, I can't put a finger on what it is. Another movie that evokes this feeling in me is "The Giant Gila Monster."
Grandpa...the gift that keeps giving to the killer alien...drives him to the City Hall.
THE BOOK MADE ME DO IT!
[7:16 -- 8.02] Thor > From where have you learned such things?
Derek > I have read from this book. I discovered it and kept it hidden.
Note: The book looks like a well-used copy of the Gideon Vest Pocket Edition of the New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs, 1956 Edition, 168 pages, with a soft, faux-leather cover, conformable to the edition of 1611 commonly known as the Authorized or King James Version, that was distributed free of charge to elementary school children at school assemblies in the USA in 1956.
Great catch AP
The bible has saved many peoples lives. Next time you take a trip, leave one in the hotel room bedside table. Many lives have been saved by having a bible available. Some people are taking them out. Fight back and add a bible to your next hotel room, desperate people need hope.
Be sure to watch the sequel, "Old People From Uranus".
Lol still funny though.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Funny only if you don't know that the correct pronunciation of "Uranus" is "YOO-ruh-nus."
You mean there are old people THERE too ? I gotta call my proctologist.....
Infinitely entertaining on a level that some people will never understand...
David Love, the star of the movie, is now 85 (2019) and was 25 when this B grade potboiler was made so he was hardly a teenager - in fact there were no real live actual teenagers in the space ship that landed on earth at all. The Orange Coast College Story, another B grade movie made in 1954 is his other "major" achievement.
At least the “teenagers” were no older than 25. If you check out ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK and DON’T KNOCK THE ROCK, the “teenagers” dancing were professional dancers, all in their late 20s/30s, having been dancing since the Big Band Era movies.
True. These days the teens are played by 39 year olds and Sparky would have warranted a trigger warning.
best line ... "Holy Mackerel !!" Being a low budget film they probably couldnt use a lobster ... it was a crawdad for sure, and they can live longer outside water .
great old flick!
actually quite well made and entertaining.
Finally, I can watch this again.
You've watched before?
The music from this film was in Night of the living dead.
I hear they are making a modern day sequel to this movie, where they return in 2021.
It's called "Boomers From Outer Space" :)
A true classic, made on a shoestring budget for a film project. "Joe Rogers" is actually Graeff, himself.
That "Betty" (Dawn Bender) was smoking hot! Of course she's 85 years old now.
@David Osterberg 85 is the new 35!
"You will call no one!"
Ray Parker Jr: "Who you gonna call?"
Thor: "NO ONE!" *shoots*
Ray Parker Jr: *dead*
Fantastic in many ways. I loved this movie. Thanks for the post.
1:03:11 "What is it like....where you're from?"
"It's great....we all get to eat lobster....EVERY DAY."
It took Gramps 10 minutes to try to cross the street.
Dawn Anderson reminds me a lot of a young Carolyn Jones, Morticia from The Addams Family tv series.
Man you're so right she remind me so much like Carolyn Jones because of her eyes. But its this baby voice it keeps throwing me off
I can just imagine the howls in the theater when the dog got laser fried in the first scene!
😱😭
Wow. Awesome movie thank you for posting😊
How the hell did they all fit in that one little spaceship??? And where is the bathroom???
They don't poop. Lol
supposedly shrunken.
Must have been mighty cozy in there.
@@petersurdo4984 No wonder they were in a bad mood!! 😂😂
@@iesusegoconfidoinvobis4309 when the ship lands, it drills into the ground. The part you see above ground is just the top of the ship. Watch the beginning again and you'll see what I mean.
For the love of god “Where’s the butter?”
Ha ! You slay me !! 🤣
I got so caught up in this I almost forgot to feed my gargon herd.
Ha ! Good one !! 😂
The ray-guns remind me of the 1960s show "The Invaders" , a Quinn Martin production.
Her friend Alice in the swimming pool loves her some alien men!
So when the spaceships crashed, did they all have cooked lobster waiting for them for dinner?
the monster did look a awful lot like a giant Mudbug
The station wagon at 15:58 is a 1955 or 56 Ford Ranch Wagon with 'Mainline' trim.
My first car was a '56 Customline Ranch Wagon with the Thunderbird 312 Y-block.
This movie should have been Titled Lobsters from Space👽
"Teenagers from Outer Space"
they're still there even to this day !
Man what a hoot~!!! Wish I could go back to those simpler times. Thanks to TCM!
I understand life expectancy was shorter. And life took a toll on age factor.
But I never imagined, 16 year old teenagers could look to be 35 and more.
Gosh darn, life was hard !
The title is confusing. None of them look like teenagers.
Grandpa rents the room to an alien...free...then gives him Bud's clothes...this is one friendly and trusting town.
A simpler time indeed.
The book he's reading at 1:06:39 is "The Flying Saucers Are Real" by Donald Keyhoe, published in 1950, and the cover art is by Frank Tinsley.
Wow, this film had a big cast. I'll bet that those actors made $300 or $400 apiece.
Teenagers? That one guy looks like an AARP member.
I first saw this on television back in the 60's. Watching it again, now....it's just f*ckin' hilarious!
As cheesy as this sci-fi flick is, at some level it works. A valuable contribution to this genre.
Another one bites the dust! That was great!! Favorite character hands down was Sparky. 😅💀❤️🔥
This was the ending sound effect that was used in the night of the living dead 2:22. The reason why they used that sound effect was because the people who were making that film didn't know how to make music, and that's why the music on the night of the living dead was not original.
Silly title, but this was actually a good movie. It’s a gem.
The space lobster looked delicious. Couple hundred pounds of melted butter. The whole town ate pretty good that night.
Hungry for lobster now. Enjoyed the movie, Thanks for posting.
they dont have an exoskellington. they have a regualr skellington.bones. so its a homo-gargonithicus.
LOL, good one
“You will pilot the vehicle. Go! Be swift!”
Awesome movie
greatest movie ever produced, kept me on the edge of my seat. I was scared to death
Right On ! I can't understand why this flick didn't sweep that year's Academy Awards. Talk about an outrage ! Oh, the humanity....
Heavy sarcasm right?😴
The Mystery Science Theatre take on this movie was one of the FUNNIEST THINGS EVER.😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
WOW first time I seen this been holding off thought it wouldn't be very good. it was excellent started out good and ended good. this type of movie is much much much better than the shit they been doing for a while.
really cant get over how good it was. two thumbs up.
4-3/4 out of 5 star movie no kidding guys watch and see.
thanks a million for the upload.
You must be joking. They all speak like they have a corncob up their, oh it's the 50's.😂😋😖
Yes,it was better than much of this ages of shit!!!
Great, takes me back years, enjoyed, thanks for posting .reminds me of tales from the dark side and the twilite zone, that i used to love as a kid .
DARN i wanted to see Derek in a swimsuit, even if it was Dad's old baggy one! What a teaser.
Indubitably ! He looked a lot like Harry Connick Jr. Harry's a shoe in for the role if they decide to make a musical remake of this sci ci classic !
This has it all . Murder, drama suspense and a love story. Great movie!. Don’t know why it was suggested. But happy it did.
Out of all of the b & w sci fi movies from this area that I watched as a young kid .
I stopped watching it after Tommy shot the dog and the bones dropped .
Tommy used to be a Micky Mouse member , he may have been in Spin & Marty .
This has been on my " Where's My Phaser " hate list .
The big reason why is about that time I had just lost my own dog .
1:04:27 "Oh my God! A GIANT MONSTER...
...is holding a lobster against a spotlight for some reason!"
Interesting movie. I also enjoyed the old cars.
The hatch on the space ship looks like one of the pots we used to make soup in the Army.
It probably was. :/
Very first action shot: teenage from space vaporizes an annoying barking dog!
Me: Please, bring many more of your species to earth immediately!
Great old cars in this one..
This movie is so bad it's good..
Betty Morgan and Gramps Morgan were the best of humanity.
" Derek.....Hey I like that"
Alice is a flirt. She loves all the boys !!!
God, aren’t teenagers from Earth scary enough?
