Newspaper photographer Jeff Rhodes (Thom Meyers) has found that the people of a small Texas town are all drained of all of their blood. He's on a deadline - Uncle Joe (Robert Bradeen) and Aunt Kate (Billie Keller) demand that he quit his job and come back to the family farm - while his brother Ralph (played by director and writer Roger Coburn) is a successful scientist at Research City. He also knows that alien life forms have come to Earth to bring dead bodies back to life and seek blood. If Jeff can stop the bedroom rodeo with Julie (Laura Ellis) he just might save the world if General Sanders (Dennis Letts) doesn't nuke everyone first.
Bloodsuckers from Outer Space is aware that it's a bad movie and leans into it, yet in the scenes where the aliens describe being dead and how Jeff will soon join them, the dialogue is actually pretty incredible. If only it went that way and became a Texas-based Messiah of Evil.
After running for President every year between 1968 and 1996, Pat Paulsen gets to be the leader of the United States in this movie and like almost everyone else, he's busier having sex than doing something.
This had its first showing at Joe Bob Briggs' 3rd Annual World Drive-In Movie Festival and Custom Car Rally in 1984 - Paulsen was chaffed by how bad it looked - and even came out on VHS by a major company, Karl-Lorimar Home Video.
Coburn was also one of the directors of Tabloid.
