The Terror from Beyond Space
Director: Edward L. Cahn
Cast: Marshall Thompson, Shirley Patterson, Kim Spalding, Ann Doran, Dabbs Greer, Richard Benedict, Ray Corrigan, Paul Langton, Robert Bice, Richard Hervey
The sole survivor of an expedition to Mars is rescued by another ship, and the survivor–the expedition's commander–is accused of killing his shipmates. He contends that a Martian monster was responsible, which proves to be right as the monster is a stowaway and starts wreaking havoc. Good, though the low budget shows. The plot was re-used in "Alien."
