"The Creeping Terror" surely belongs on the list.  This is the baby
that was shot with silent film (another story is that the soundtrack
was lost or destroyed by accident) and so 90% of the action is explained
by the narrator, with occasional horrid actor voiceovers and inserted
sound effects.  The monster looks like a rug with a bunch of people
under it, and has radiator hoses hanging from its head.  One classic
scene has our hero inside the alien ship (full of 1950's electronic
gear) banging a piece of metal against an old voltmeter.  The
narrator explains:

"... he tried to stop the transmitter, but the alien alloys in the
 ship weren't even dented by his efforts..."

Oh yes, and the landing of the alien ship is an old Army rocket
launch shown in reverse, followed by some out of focus car headlights.

C'mon, some of you must have seen this beaut.
