Strange Invasion (Extraña invasión), also known as Stay Tuned for Terror, is a 1965 Argentine-American science fiction film directed by Emilio Vieyra and starring Richard Conte, Jorge Rivera López, Eddie Pequenino, Anna Strasberg and Mónica Cahen D'Anvers. A young Adolfo Aristarain was assistant director during filming.

In Clearview, a town in the South of the U.S., strange waves begin to appear on the TV sets, hypnotizing the very young and the very old. Children and old people begin to wander around town in a zombie-like state. When the signal drops, there is a violent reaction and the army must be called in.

Except for the opening scene, the film was filmed in Ciudad Jardin.
