Ray Harryhausen fans: "Earth vs. the Flying Saucers" is on Svengoolie tonight.

For me, outside DC, in northern Virginia, it's on channel 11.2 from Baltimore:

It's also on channel 5.3, but that's tough to get, despite being about 30 miles closer. It has always been the case that Baltimore TV stations show up better in Alexandria than DC TV stations. Analog, digital -- doesn't matter.

Earth vs. the Flying Saucers

Earth vs. the Flying Saucers (a.k.a. Invasion of the Flying Saucers and Flying Saucers from Outer Space) is a 1956 American black-and-white science fiction film from Columbia Pictures, produced by Charles H. Schneer, directed by Fred F. Sears, that stars Hugh Marlowe and Joan Taylor. Earth vs. the Flying Saucers was released on a double bill with The Werewolf

The film's storyline was suggested by the bestselling, non-fiction book Flying Saucers from Outer Space by Maj. Donald Keyhoe.

The film's stop-motion animation special effects were created by Ray Harryhausen.

How come Hugh Marlowe's always around when flying saucers show up in DC?

6. Always watch it when it's on

Which is strange since I have it on DVD. Old habit.

As for best 50's flying saucer pics, I place "The Day The Earth Stood Still" and "War of the Worlds" ahead of it, but "Earth vs. the Flying Saucers" is really more fun.
