It! The Terror from Beyond Space (1958) Trailer

[skorzeny13]

I just loved this movie too... it scared the shit out of me when i was a little kid... and of course all spaceships need bazookas, m1 garands and boxes of hand grenades plus a few ladies to ummm make coffee? hahaha good stuff

I love this movie. I love all the wild gunshots and flying bullets and grenade explosions and screaming shrapnel--in a SPACESHIP! I love how they try to gas the creature--apparently air doesn't circulate in that rocket. And how they try to electrocute it--in a metal spaceship that would conduct current everywhere! And then how they try to kill it with radiation--that affects nobody else on the ship. Who needs science in science fiction? Or even commonsense?

@jimtrueblue99 : You got it!

When the film first came out in 1979, I could tell it was a remake of It! It's how I knew the way the film would end, any way. It wouldn't have been a huge coincidence if It! didn't spawn the film, but to think that Ridley never saw It! is ridiculous. Ridley obviously was paying homage to the classic sci fi film.

This movie had been out for 4-5 years when I saw it. It scared th JeeBeebers outta me!

Ridley Scott certainly new who Edward Cahn was. This is the basis for Alien.

Don't compare this cheap trash to legendary Alien. Ridley Scott never heard about this movie when he was making his Alien and the main script writer of alien was influenced by another book

[RadiationCinema]

@Magnolia296 - You are a spokesman for Ridley Scott? In Fact, Scott has often said how much he loves 1950's sci fi.

[Magnolia296]

@RadiationCinema Scott just filmed Alien and didn't write it. Scriptwriters of Alien were influenced by another book released in early 70s. I don't remember the title but you can find it on IMDb (section - Trivia)

@Magnolia296 I believe O'Bannon and Shusett gave credit to a comic book story called "Seeds Of Venus"

Yeah I've always wondered about the reeeeaally quick titles that flash on screen for about a second. Great subliminal messaging. Great old film too, better than the remake that was "Alien" in my opinion (despite the advantage in special fx).

OMG! Samoutuomas is dead on! "Don't miss it" appears on the screen! I heard they use to flash a picture of a bottle of Coka Cola during some movies the same way. It was found that service at the concession counters picked up right after it! Great catch Samoutuomas!!!

[nr1osfan]

I read somewhere that this movie was the inspiration for the movie Aliens.

[RadiationCinema]

You are correct!

[nicolashrv]

@nr1osfan this and at least 5 others. Space Vampires was one. In fact O'bannon often had to admit he stolen the alien script from hundreds of different sources.

0:34 onwards..

Lol! Subliminal messaging; "Don't Miss It!", "Go See It!"..
