@LoneRookRS1 You are so right, I would say that this was more frightening even than Alien.

@Panegyric123 Disagree, Gianni Garko is gorgeous in this.

Wow, that was just like my first wife. Slide into a screaming hole and come out all burned up and lifeless.....

I loved this episode as a kid. It makes even more sense now as a man. Slide your lower end into a dark screaming hole and come out all burned up and dead. wow, they must have foreseen my first marriage.

I remember watching this as a kid,,although I remembered it different, it scared the hell out of me. Good to rewatch it and put it to rest....lol still creepy though

@AshleyMarkPomeroy I think it's safe to say that looks were not a feature the producers of this show were looking for in the cast.

@Panegyric123 I think Martin Landau was scariest of all - just his face, brrr

[Panegyric123]

I don't know what was scarier about this series for a little boy, the Space Dragon and other monsters, or a chick with pork chop sideburns who always looked pissed off, as in Maya.

I'm glad to see I was not the only one to loose sleep, for years, over this one. I think this is where I developed my fear of spiders. I was only five years old when this episode aired (if it aired in 1976). I thought it was a giant spider, because it looked like the wolf spiders that used to crawl across my basement floor where our t.v. was. This episode scared me for years, and judging by the other posts, I was in good company.

I don't know what is more frightening in this episode. The ruthless, carnivorous nature of the alien. Or the fact that it waits in the cold silence of space, for years, for its next victim. This was true sci-fi horror, and episodes like this could teach a thing or two to todays stuff, even with all the modern CGI and better equipment.
