I had to laugh at that -- I remember being 10 or 12 years old and
watching the original 1956 IOTBS one Saturday afternoon. I was so
utterly terrified I could not sleep for two or three days, drove my
parents crazy trying to get them to leave town, and earned the
contempt of my baby brother who kept throwing globs of seaweed at me.
We lived at the beach where mysterious podlike objects regularly
washed up on the sand (to this day) and I was convinced they were
evil aliens. Eventually I passed out from exhaustion and a good
night's sleep got me over it.

When I saw it again as an adult I simply could not believe I had
taken it so seriously! It's got to be one of the corniest movies ever
made, that dialogue wouldn't scare a cat.
