Not of This Earth 1957 1/6

WOW, now this feels like de-ja-vu!

One of Roger Corman's finest science-fiction endeavors of the 1950s, Not of This Earth is an excellent film by any standards. Paul Birch stars as Johnson, a taciturn gentleman in a dark business suit who hires nurse Nadine (Beverly Garland) to care for him. Curious that Johnson needs constant blood transfusions, Dr. Rochelle (William Roerick), Nadine's boss, discovers to his horror that Johnson has no blood of his own! Before he can make this information public, Rochelle is telepathically enslaved by the emotionless Johnson. It soon develops that Johnson is a space alien, sent from his home planet to see if the blood of earthlings can be used by his dying race -- the first step in their ultimate takeover of the world

Old monster flicks didn't always show the monster out-right -- just something that hauled itself along the ground (usually through the bushes). Shadow and suspense were the key elements.

This Black and White stuff used to scare the shit outta me...but not as much now.

@thebearclawjones It really was a gas for that hip doll. That old weird cat was the one who dug the scene and he put more than holes in her head. That was a real trip!!!!
