Night of the Blood Beast (1958)



An astronaut is killed on reentry to Earth, but his body is seeded with rapidly gestating aliens.

Absurd low-budget sci-fi tale hardly is worth watching, even for the occasional laugh.

Maltin*1/2: "Well directed but too low budget to succeed."

The Brain Eaters (1958)



A huge, seemingly alien structure has been found jutting out of the earth sending parasites from the center of the earth to infiltrate the town, taking control of the authorities and workers.

Hilariously bad Sci-fi shocker with a very limited entertainment value, even as a baddie; notable for offering an early Leonard Nimoy in a small role - and an extra point goes to the great movie poster.

Halliwell (no star): "Low-budget imitation of Invasion of The Body Snatchers, but with little evidence of intelligence in its making."

Maltin**: "Some mildly scary moments."
