Plot Outline: Aliens resurrect dead humans as zombies and vampires to stop human kind from creating the Solaranite (a sort of sun-driven bomb).
Plot: "Can your heart stand the shocking facts about Graverobbers from Outer Space?" Thats the question on the lips of the narrator of this tale about flying saucers, zombies and cardboard tombstones. A pair of aliens, angered by the "stupid minds" of planet Earth, set up shop in a California cemetery. Their plan: to animate an army of the dead to march on the capitals of the world. (The fact that they have only managed to resurrect three zombies to date has not discouraged them.) An intrepid airline pilot living near the cemetery must rescue his wife from this low-budget terror. "Can you prove it *didnt* happen?"
Crazy Credits: We know about 2 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
The opening title at first reads "The Aristocrats." The three kittens run by. Toulouse notices the title, removes the second R and pushes the letters together to form "The AristoCats."
Goofs: We know about 62 goofs. Here comes one of them:
Continuity: Criswells opening narration begins: "Greetings, my friends. We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember, my friends, future events such as these will affect you in the future." A moment later, though, he is placing the same events in the past, telling how "what happened on that fateful day" must no longer be kept secret.
Trivia: There are 25 entries in the trivia list - like these:

Trivia: There are 25 entries in the trivia list - like these:
- Funded by a Baptist church, several members of the cast let themselves be baptized.
- The aliens obligingly fly by the ABC, CBS and NBC buildings in Los Angeles.
- Bela Lugosi appears in footage shot just before his death, but with no script in mind. Edward D. Wood Jr. wrote the script to accommodate all the footage shot in a cemetery and outside Tor Johnsons house in the new production. Lugosi was doubled by Tom Mason, Woods wifes chiropractor, who was significantly taller than Lugosi, and played the part with a cape covering his face.
