98 years, what a great run. This guy created an amazing film world that pushed boundaries and inspired many. He gave work to David Crosby's cinematographer dad when he was blacklisted during the McCarthy era. He gave Martin Scorcese his first Hollywood Film Director job on "Boxcar Betty" when Marty was just out of NYU's Film School. I'd imagine that Jerry Garcia was a fan.

Hail to the King Of The B-Movies!

Saw this one a couple times on Comet TV

The film's story line concerns a space alien that is able to see through the eyes of a large array of Earth life that it can also mentally control, part of its plan to conquer the Earth. After a mysterious object, initially thought to be a plane crashes nearby, both wild and domesticated animals begin attacking the family. Soon, the farm's handyman turns on the family, attacking them. It is finally revealed that a space alien has taken total control of the area's lesser animals and is working its way up to humans, all part of its master plan to conquer the Earth. In the end the family bond together, fighting against the alien menace. They must unite their minds in a show of love to have a chance of finally thwarting its plan of conquest.

Unable to counter this attack, the alien flees into the mind of a rat, where it is promptly killed and carried off by a hawk.
