Production

The cast of Galaxy Invader consists of director Don Dohler's stable of friends and includes Donald Leifert and George Stover, both of whom featured in Dohler's earlier films, The Alien Factor, Fiend and Nightbeast. Richard Ruxton, another of the film's principal actors, would go on to appear in Dohler's next film, Blood Massacre. Also appearing in a starring role is Dohler's son, Greg Dohler, who plays David Harmon.

Galaxy Invader was shot entirely in and around Baltimore, Maryland, Dohler's hometown. Galaxy Invader was one of four movies Dohler made in Baltimore within a 10-year period, each of which had budgets ranging from as low as $4,000 to as high as $42,000.

The body thrown off a cliff at the end of the movie is made of PVC piping.
