Scary!

But not such a scary spoiler...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Came_from_Outer_Space

Spoiler

It ends up that the aliens are benign beings whose spacecraft crashed because of malfunctioning components. They planned to stay on Earth long enough to replace the parts, then continue their voyage. They temporarily took control of a few humans since they looked so different than humans and could not move about inconspicuously, since humans would panic. When they finally repair their ship and leave, all of the missing and controlled townspeople returned to normal.

That's it? Just travelers looking for help from the auto club?
