The InvadersInvaders, The - Emotionless alien beings from a dying planet who were the main antagonists on the sci-fi series THE INVADERS/ABC/1967-68. Architect David Vincent (Roy Thinnes) discovered a spacecraft unloading these invaders one night when he was looking for shortcut on a lonely country road. His only problem was convincing a disbelieving world that the invaders had landed and that they were methodically taking over the Earth. The concept for this series saved a lot of money on special effects. The invaders didn't have oversized-craniums, green skin or antennas sprouting from their heads. They simply were human look-alikes that could easily infiltrate into society. They did have their Achilles heels, however. Upon closer  scrutiny, one discovers that they were without a pulse or heartbeat and had a mutated, crooked fourth finger that jutted out awkwardly from the hand. Sometimes, rarely, the invaders began to glow, when they were in need of regeneration to retain their human form. The most difficult problem in convincing the authorities that the invaders were here, was the fact that when an invader was destroyed they would go up in a cloud of red smoke leaving nothing but ashes behind.

TRIVIA NOTE: Keep an eye out for funny looking fingers and always be sure you check for a pulse.
