Tonight's Stinker The Alien Factor (1978) https://youtu.be/rh1Blm0-duA?si=zDLHBi7OZf2hsmIg Actually filmed in 1972, explaining a few things.... So, this young couple are making out in their car, when the boy is grabbed by something that looks like a plastic suit of armor.... Next day, the local sheriff takes the girl to the town doctor, and a pair of locals bring the dead boy, in his car... The mayor shows up wanting to find out what happened, & the sheriff guesses an animal attack... Later on, a young woman sees an alien in a pair of jeans.... Some local hippies try to find & kill the animal, but get killed... Another guy is killed by a ball of light, & some kids find him the next day.... Then a musical number from the local rock band, followed by a guy leaving the show only to find big foot in his basement.... The sheriff wants to call in the state troopers, but the mayor is afraid it might scare off a new tourist trap... Then an astronomer shows up looking for a meteor..... Early '70s synth soundtrack which is pretty grating... Stiff looking regional actors... The low budget audio is passable..... Very riffable..... Couldn't escape this nagging feeling that I'd seen all this before.....
