OUTER SPACE JITTERS (1957)

Film Pick of the Day
Thursday, June 11, 2026

Professor Jones and the Stooges travel to the planet Sunev, and greet its inhabitants' leader the Grand Zilch, and his military commander the High Mucky Muck. The Stooges' gracious welcome, and dinner celebration with three amazon beauties, hides a Sunevian plot to conquer the Earth with an army of prehistoric zombies. Jones and the Stooges learn of the invasion plot, but find their attempt to foil the aliens' plans complicated when they accidentally release one of the zombies.

The Zombie was portrayed by Dan Blocker, misspelled "Don Blocker" in the opening credits. Mr. Blocker went on to fame as 'Hoss Cartwright' in NBC's long-running western series BONANZA from 1959 - 1972.

Costar Diana Darrin was interviewed at the 2006 Fan Club Meeting in Fort Washington PA, and her interview appears in The Three Stooges Journal # 118 (Summer 2006). Ms. Darrin was also a guest of the 1993 Three Stooges Convention in Philadelphia; see Journal # 67 (Fall 1993).

Sunevian costars Arline Hunter and Diana Darrin reunited at a Three Stooges costar event in Burbank CA on Feb. 17, 2007; The Three Stooges Journal # 121 (Spring 2007) contains the story and photos.

Arline Hunter was Playboy Playmate of the Month, August 1954.
