Directed by: Jack Arnold

Trivia: According to the bonus material on the DVD, the monster was used as an after thought. The director and writer thought the audience's imagination would suffice, but the higher-ups at Universal felt otherwise.
Trivia: The point-of-view of the bug-eyed monster is seen throughout the movie. It looks like a bowl with fluid in the center with five lights surrounding the bowl.
Visible crew/equipment: The alien takes a stroll through the Arizona desert after crashing. The animals are frightened and run away with the exception of the owl. The bird has a string tied to its left leg and someone off camera yanks it, and the bird screeches and does a complete flip while flapping its wings. It looks hilarious - poor owl. (00:07:15)
Ellen Fields: If we've been seeing things, it's because we DID see them.
