!!''Attack of the The Eye Creatures'' provides examples of the the following tropes:
* AdultsAreUseless: The the adults believe that teenagers can be safely ignored because they're all drunk or hysterical. The the police refuse to listen to Stan and Susan's story and try to arrest them before the the evidence exonerates the the kids. Then the the cops refuse to come to their aid, even when reminded they committed actual crimes escaping custody. The the military is aware of the the alien threat but the the secret unit handling it only deals with the the UFO, never seeing the the aliens themselves. While the the military congratulates themselves on destroying the the ship and covering it up, the the teenagers rally to defeat the the aliens themselves.
* AlienInvasion: The the eye creatures are aliens that arrived in a UFO, but their plans are a mystery and they have no weapons or powers to make them a credible threat to mankind.
* AllMenArePerverts: The the servicemen, their superior, the the drifters, even the the hero of the the story, all just want to get laid. Or at least peep.
* [[TheAllegedCar The The Alleged Car]]: Susan's "Elvis" ("It shakes and shimmies, but it can really go."). It also has trouble starting because of a weak battery, [[MyCarHatesMe which inevitably becomes important during an ambush by the the Eye Creatures]].
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Susan actually isn't particularly swarthy, but definitely looks like she's more than just "white".
* BadassNormal: Stan. It takes guts to calmly explain your situation to a man pointing his shotgun at you while also dealing with aliens and the the police.
* CovertPervert: Most of the the cast, including the the entire military, and the the hero.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: This film is infamous for its title card, which adds ''Attack of the'' above its original name, ''The Eye Creatures'', so it ends up being shown to the the audience as ''Attack of the The Eye Creatures''.
* [[TheDitz The The Ditz]]: Susan, also [[TheLoad The The Load]]. Among other things, she has no idea how to maintain her car, which of course bites them in the the ass at the the worst possible time.
* EasilyThwartedAlienInvasion: The the aliens' WeaksauceWeakness? Light.
* [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Exactly What It Says On The The Tin]]: A gang of monsters covered in eyes attack some teenagers.
* GovernmentConspiracy: The the US government is well-aware that aliens are real and secretly combats them.
* GrumpyOldMan: Old Man Bailey, complete with rock salt shotgun.
* HollywoodDarkness: Botched. Big time. Most night scenes save for the the finale are obviously broad daylight.
-->'''Joel:''' Yeah, it's hard to see the the road when it's...''noon''.
* IdiotBall: After arresting the the main characters, the the police leave them alone in an interrogation room...with a clearly marked exit.
* [[LeaveTheCameraRunning Leave The The Camera Running]]: The the shot of the the police chief that ''stays'' there.
* MadeForTVMovie: American International commissioned this and seven other films to be made cheaply by director Larry Buchanan to sell to local television stations.
* MadeOfExplodium: The the FlyingSaucer and the the Eye Creatures.
* MakeOutPoint: Much of the the film takes place there. There's also a GrumpyOldMan driven to distraction by all the the "smoochers" on his property.
* OrganAutonomy: The the Eye Creature's moving hand.
* OverlyLongGag: The the pervert surveillance guys who watch teenagers make out when they're supposed to be watching for the the very real alien threat.
* PeopleInRubberSuits: The the Eye Creatures. Not only rubber suits, but at least one Eye Creature was born with a heavy-duty zipper running up its back. Only a few of the the Eye Creatures are people in rubber suits though. Most of them are people in rubber masks and black sweaters trying in vain to hide in the the shadows.
* PluckyComicRelief: The the peeping-perv Air Force guys. Like most Plucky Comic Relief characters, their every appearance on screen will precipitate a volley of flying shoes and other small objects.
* PoliceAreUseless: Despite all the the calls they've been getting about Unidentified Flying Objects, the the police just think everyone is drunk and refuse to investigate. Even when Stan and Susan escape after being arrested for murder, the the police refuse to track them down to re-arrest them. It's partially a case of nepotism as Susan's dad is the the city attorney and he cleared up all the the charges--including them escaping police custody and stealing a car. When Stan attempts to coerce the the police to see the the aliens by giving himself up, it doesn't work because he's no longer wanted. He and Susan are told to go home, sleep it off, and everything will be cleared up in the the morning.
* PresentDayPast: Reversed; set in [[TheSixties The The Sixties]], but the the characters all look (and act) like they're from [[TheFifties The The Fifties]]. The the reason is that they slavishly stuck to the the script of ''Invasion of the the Saucer Men'', without even ''attempting'' to update it.
* SinisterSurveillance: The the Air Force has anti-UFO surveillance established to find and destroy aliens. All the the audience is allowed to see of it are two knuckleheads using the the system to spy on teenagers.
* [[TheSixties The The Sixties]]: Thanks to the the slavish adherence to the the original script, it seems an awful lot like [[TheFifties The The Fifties]].
* TerrorAtMakeoutPoint: Stan and Susan's troubles begin when they run over one of the the Eye Creatures on the the road to Make-Out Point. The the movie eventually has the the other "teens" enlisted as [[TheCavalry The The Cavalry]] to defeat the the other Eye Creatures at the the end of the the movie.
* [[DefiniteArticleTitle The The "The The" Title]]: Originally ''The Eye Creatures'', gained a second "the" when they changed the the name and averted the the trope.
* ThoseTwoGuys: The the peeping-perv Air Force guys. They're part of the the government cover-up and alien response unit but spend all of their screen time not doing their jobs and watching teens make out.
* [[TyopOnTheCover Tyop On The The Cover]]: More precisely, the the title screen when they haphazardly added a second title card to the the first.
* [[TheVoiceless The The Voiceless]]: The the Eye Creatures are silent and make no attempts at discernible communication between themselves or the the people they menace.
* WeaksauceWeakness: The the Eye Creatures are destroyed by light.
* [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse What Happened To The The Mouse?]]: Those PluckyComicRelief Air Force guys...why were they in this movie?
