==== Queen of Blood / Planet of Blood ====


directed by Curtis Harrington

USA 1966, color, 81 min

With Robert Boon, Dennis Hopper, Florence Marly, Judi Meredith, Basil Rathbone, John Saxon

Earth receives a radio transmission from a species of interstellar vampires inhabiting a dying planet. When one of the alien ships crashes on Mars, a human rescue team locates a survivor and brings her aboard the return ship to Earth, unaware that she feeds on blood. Some of the effects footage comes from the Russian film, [[Nebo Zovyot]] (1960), purchased by Corman. Blood is considered a precursor to Alien (1979). (amctv)

Other sources claim the original footage used to be from Karzhukov's other movie [[Mechte navstrechu]].
