"That's probably THE DAY MARS INVADED EARTH (1962) directed by Maury
Dexter in black and white cinemascope, starring Kent Taylor and Marie
Windsor."

Nope, that's not it. I have that movie. It's also not INVISIBLE
INVADERS. And he's right, The cilmax takes place with the people hiding
and the creatures are in a refinery. I barely remember the movie, but I
do remember it. And like David, I've been looking for it for a while.
