Anyone remember the movie: Teenagers from outer space.
1959

David Love, Dawn Anderson, King Moody
Directed by Tom Graeff

A strange, screw-shaped projectile approaches Earth. It's a spaceship, and it's juvenile inhabitants plan to turn our plan into a breeding ground for the monstrous creatures of their home world, the Gargons.

Before the captain can let loose a test specimen, however, young Derek escapes to sample the delights offered by mankind, in particular, womankind. While crazed new mate Thor turns small dogs and swim-suited cuties into steaming skeletons with his all-purpose ray gun, Derek meets and falls in love with Betty, battles the rampaging Gargon, and makes the ultimate sacrifice to save civilization from the terror of TEENAGERS FROM OUTER SPACE!

I just ordered the DVD. I was 10 when I saw it at the theater.

I remember the "small dogs and swim-suited cuties into steaming skeletons" scenes.

2. I've seen part of it
On June 24, 1967, it was being shown on TV in the Azores. We were waiting at the guest quarters until it was time to go down to the airfield to board the plane that would take us back to the States. The time to leave came and I never saw the ending,

4. Ray Liotta's in it.
But probably not proud of that fact.

5. That's NOT Ray Liotta!
You watched the MST3K version which lobbed that as a joke.

Liotta was about 7 yo when "Teenagers" was made!

Forget the movie, get a copy of the MST3K send up! It's one of their best hachet-jobs!

6. Tom Graeff was allegedly as
gay as a whistle and whomped the film together as a starring vehicle for his live in lover, "David Love".
I think TfOS is a better so-bad-it's-good experience than Plan Nine which suffers from overexposure these days.
Tom Graegg supposedly went crazy later on and styled himself "Jesus Christ Junior" becoming a famous loon on the Sunset Strip.
