Teenagers from Outer Space (film)/YMMV

• Better Than It Sounds: OK, so it's still a silly B-movie. But the acting and plot are fairly decent compared to a lot of similar movies.
• Fridge Logic: Why was Betty's puppy running around that quarry?
• So Bad It's Good: This film is a really good B-movie example of the trope.
• Special Effects Failure: The gargon. Just... the gargon.
  • The live lobster near the beginning probably blew the budget. Later gargons are played by what looks like a black-painted vaguely lobster-shaped cardboard cutout. (They probably intended to do some process work to replace the silhouette with an actual lobster image, but didn't have the budget.)
  • On the other hand, when you consider the next-to-nothing budget the film had, you have to be impressed that the movie's non-special effects work. For example, the entire movie was shot wild track: every single sound was dubbed in later -- and unlike certain other B-movies, you can't really tell.
