Alien was more of a modern remake of "It the Terror from Beyond Space" than anything to do with this movie. It,s one of the best outer space sci-fis from the old days. Bava was also the director of the Steve Reeves "Hercules" movies, the best of that genre.
Film capolavoro della fantascienza italiana..alien di ridley scott gli deve tantissimo..i primi 20 minuti dei due film sono sostanzialmente identici..
I've seen this movie many times (blockbuster video) I enjoy it...very gothic artistic...yes alien-1 was influenced by it....pretty girls in the movie...cool costumes...far better than mst-3k....but just as fun!
That is because Ron Shussett was directly inspired by this film, as well as "It! The Terror from Beyond Space", when he and Dan O'Bannon penned the first Alien screenplay.
this movie used to freak me out as a kid...

Alien ripped this movie off just saying look at the sets i love this movie Planet of the vampires is a true classic

@ChristophersRants ALIEN ripped off some of the plot, but the huge, empty sets are a throwback to the 1950s ufo movies, like THIS ISLAND EARTH.
and there were no real sets for the alien planet, which is why the planet is mostly fog, to hide that there was no money for exteriors.

If you've never seen this film, it is a stylish and effective combination of science fiction and horror, one of the first.

Yeah, somehow I think the costume designers for First Class had been watching Planet of the Vampires at some stage.

Classic Bava. It's very entertaining. Don't take it too seriously. Alien has a lot in common with it. Watch this and you'll see what I mean.

Pretty decent atmospheric horror film from the 1960's. It has to hold a record of having so many alternate titles.
