I saw this on TV when I was perhaps three years old (1964-1965), and living in California. At the time, I didn't really pay much attention to the plot, I'm sure, but the imagery made a big impression. I Didn't know the name of the movie for years, but my siblings and I always refered to it as "The Crawling Eye" because of the aliens. I remember imagining that when I grew up, I'd be living in a small house out in the desert like Richard Carlson's character -- perhaps I'll never feel "grown up" till I move to the desert!
