Not of This Earth opens across the U.S. in 1957. The Roger Corman film is released as a double feature with another Corman film, Attack of the Crab Monsters, for teenage drive-in audiences and both make big profits. Four minutes are later added to the film to lengthen the running time for TV broadcast.
