Three astronauts were launched into space aboard a rocket designed by Professor Quatermass (Brian Donlevy), but the spacecraft returns to earth with only one occupant, Victor Carroon (Richard Wordsworth). Something has infected him during the spaceflight, and he begins mutating into an alien organism which, if it spawns, will engulf the Earth and destroy humanity. When the Carroon-creature escapes from custody, Quatermass and Scotland Yard’s Inspector Lomax (Jack Warner), have just hours to track it down and prevent a catastrophe.

“The Quatermass Xperiment” (a.k.a. “The Creeping Unknown” in the U.S.) is a Hammer Films Production based on a 1953 BBC Television serial by Nigel Kneale, called “The Quatermass Experiment.” The film produced by Anthony Hinds, directed by Val Guest, stars Brian Donlevy, Jack Warner, Richard Wordsworth, and Margia Dean.

Astronomer John Putnam (played by Richard Carlson) climbs down into the meteor crater and stumbles upon the alien spaceship.

“It Came from Outer Space” tells the story of an astronomer and his fiancée who are stargazing in the desert when a large fiery object crashes to Earth. At the crash site, he discovers a round alien spaceship just before it is completely buried by an overhead landslide. When he tells this story to the local sheriff and newspaper, he is branded a crackpot. Before long, strange things begin to happen, and the tide of disbelief turns hostile.

“It Came from Outer Space” was the first film in 3-D from Universal-International. It was produced by William Alland, directed by Jack Arnold, and stars Richard Carlson (as astronomer John Putnam), Barbara Rush (as schoolteacher Ellen Fields), and Charles Drake (as Sheriff Matt Warren). The film's script is based on Ray Bradbury's original story treatment (not, as sometimes claimed, a published short story) "The Meteor."

Captain Markary (Barry Sullivan) attempts to re-take control of the spaceship Argos.

“Planet of the Vampires” (Italian: Terrore nello Spazio, lit. “Terror in Space”) is an Italian science fiction horror film based on an Italian-language short story, Renato Pestriniero’s “One Night of 21 Hours.” The story follows the horrific experiences of the crew members of two giant spaceships that have crash landed on a forbidding, unexplored planet. The disembodied inhabitants of that world possess the bodies of the crew who died during the crash, and use the animated corpses to stalk and kill the remaining survivors.

The film was co-produced by AIP and Italian International Film and, years after its release, some critics have suggested that Bava’s film was a major influence on Ridley Scott’s “Alien” (1979) and “Prometheus” (2012). [Source: Wikipedia]
