~ A Question for the Members: After the aliens abandoned their plan to use human females to create human/alien hybrids, their fleet left Earth.

Where did they go? Their species was domed because all the females had perished (for reasons not revealed in the film).





~ Here's what I came up with.: This is a much more complex movie than most folks give it credit for. Take, for example, the way the aliens masquerade as humans.

Tom Tyrone plays Gloria Talbot's human fiance, and also the alien imposter who pretends to be her husband. But he's not surgically altered to look human; he has both his alien body and a human "shell" that he controls . . . while existing inside it!

Bizarre, eh?

The movie implies that "Tom" and Gloria have sex during their year of marriage, but she doesn't get pregnant — which is what alien/Tom and his nonhuman colleagues hope will happen. Thus we can assume that the human "shell" is a human/alien hybrid itself, designed to impregnate women with hybrid babies.

We know that Tom and Gloria have actually been having sex for a year, because Gloria goes to her friendly local doctor to be tested when she doesn't get pregnant. He informs her that she's in good health and should be able to get pregnant. The Doc suggests that Tom come in and be tested as well.

I have no idea how the aliens exist "inside" the human shells, but the movie makes it clear that the aliens can "come out" of the shells and enter their spaceship, leaving the human-like shell standing at attention right outside.

My point is that, although unsuccessful as yet, the aliens possess the ability to create hybrid humans which can mimic human sex and deposit what they hoped would be hybrid sperm into the unsuspecting ladies.

A very creepy thought, eh?

What if the aliens kidnapped a few dozen women when they left Earth and continued their experiments aboard their ships? And if they eventually succeeded, they could secretly return to Earth and infiltrate the population — both with aliens in human shells again, and with newly created human/alien hybrid children.

Okay, there's the premise. Anybody want to suggest what else this story might involved?

As long as we have German Shepherds and their chompers, we will win.

Even if the Aliens managed to engineer a hybrid, there is no guarantee the offspring won't be a mule, sterile.

They did do a remake of this gem with Richard Burgi as the alien. As I recall we didn't see much of the alien's true form in the film but it was in colour and full of bad CGI!
