Night of the Blood Beast

Actors: Michael Emmet, Ed Nelson, Steve Dunlap, Georgianna Carter and Tyler McVey
Rating: 0 out of 10, The latest in my journey through 100 bad sci fi films was every bit as ghastly as the title would imply. A black and white Roger Corman effort from the late 1950s which tells the story of the first manned US space shot. In compliance with Corman’s usual frugal budgets the space agency is run out of a California hillside by a group of six people. The spaceship crashes upon return and the ground crew recovers the astronaut’s body only to discover it’s inhabited by a bunch of alien embryos. Momma monster soon follows, the astronaut wakes up from the dead, and the odd head is taken off. Monster effects were ludicrously bad but that is to be expected in this genre.

MVP: Ed Nelson as the very confused scientist
