Lockout Theatre: INVASION OF THE SAUCER MEN (1957)

 The quintessential teen vs aliens movie, it's supposed to be a comedy. Few laughs, though.

The kids want to boink in their hot rods. The aliens have other plans. They inject - gasp! - alcohol into the youngsters, and nobody believes their claims of flying saucers. They're drunk. 

Con man Frank "The Riddler" Gorshin stashes a dead alien in the fridge. Bad idea. A dismembered hand with an eye on its back slashes tires, terrifying couples as they bang. 

This was released as a double-feature with I Was A Teenage Werewolf.  And what turns out to save humanity? Not the military. Not the cops. The teens - with their high-beam headlights.
