“Lifeforce” written by Dan O'Bannon (Return of the Living Dead, Dead and Buried, Alien) and Directed by Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Poltergeist)

An alien ship is discovered in the tail of Haley’s Comet. The Anglo-American shuttle crew finds the dessicated remains of bat-like aliens and three humanoids in suspended animation. The creatures are brought back to Earth where they escape and begin feeding off the life force of the human population of Britain. Not only do these creatures drain a victim of their life energy, the victims become zombies that must feed likewise to sustain themselves! 

One of the bat-like psychic vampire aliens from the movie “Lifeforce” in its true form. It was stabbed in the chest with an iron sword and reverted back to its real appearance before dying.

And a piece of art by Bryan Baugh paying tribute to this awesome film.
