INVISIBLE MONSTERS A AND E HOW TO
Invisibility is the main weapon of the extraterrestials and big part of the plot consists in finding how to make them visible to the humans. Supergirl: The Girl of Steel fights an invisible demon summoned by her enemy Selena.Considering all of the Special Effects Failure monsters that appear, it's rather startling. Captain Sinbad has the title character face an invisible monster that leaves dinosaur-like tracks in the ground (that form from an explosion as its feet land).It also has a rather embarrassing weakness of water. The titular alien hunter uses a Visible Invisibility cloaking device, which is a cool special effect and obviously not a budget-saving shortcut.
