Famous from late night television showing, drive-ins and of course Mystery Science Theater 3000, this film became a cult classic and was the inspiration for Frank Henelotter’s “Frankenhooker”. It was notable, even though it was black and white, for being quite bloody for an early 60′s film

Episode 69: Creature! (aka The Titan Find!)
On the surface it seems like a simple rip-off of “Alien” and “The Thing”, but this film stands on its own as a pretty good low budget creature feature.
In the future, two competing corporations, one American and one German, are exploring the solar system to find mineral resources. On Saturn’s moon of Titan, they find the ancient remnants of an alien laboratory. The beings who created it thousands of years ago did so to make it a menagerie of alien lifeforms from all over the galaxy. And one of the lifeforms is now alive, awake and very hungry! The beast begins to kill the crew and control their corpses by attaching parasites to them. Now, fear and paranoid run high.
This film was directed by William Malone, the director of the “House on Haunted Hill” re-make, and stars eccentric German actor Klaus Kinski. It also features Wendy Schaal, voice of Francine on “American Dad”.
Once again this film is PUBLIC DOMAIN and not copyright protected in the US at least. You can make and sell your own DVD of it, download it, show it for free or for profit. Or remix it or use it for stock footage

Episode 63: Night of the Blood Beast!
From Roger Corman comes a rip-off of “The Thing From Another World” and “The Quatermass Xperiment”.
A rocket test ends when the pilot crashes to Earth, seemingly dead and not alone. An alien life form has hitched a ride down to Earth and impregnated the astronaut with its babies! It kind of predates alien in this way.
