The sound efx in CHILDREN OF SPIDER COUNTY intro were: the interior sounds of Kronos from the film KRONOS(1957) as we see the Eros alien true form, and of course the WAR OF THE WORLDS ray sound as his eyes glow and disintegrate the sheriff. OL used a lot of the FORBIDDEN PLANET sound (the sound as the Id Monster is melting the Krell lab door) in many episodes (usually during a spaceship malfunction or meteor storm)
John Elizalde used a lot of classic scifi sounds in THE INVADERS also, mostly from the film EARTH VS THE FLYING SAUCERS. There was a trademark OL sound that sounds like low notes of an organ held down and rise and fall in pitch in a repeating cycle that was actually used years before in SCIENCE FICTION THEATRE in a few episodes where they were showing UFOs in flight. John must've had access to a big stock scifi sound library at the studio.
