The story concerns the crews of two spaceships, who land on a foggy, seemingly deserted planet.

An atmospheric blend of space opera and horror elements that fits well into Mario Bava's list. Filled with inventive futuristic sets and chic black leather spacemen suits, its' gloomy style most likely influenced ALIEN some 15 years later. As John Carpenter admitted Bava's influence on Halloween, then the notion this

At first, I was extremely disappointed by the fact that this movie doesn't have any vampires in it, but then I realized that that was the American title, the Italian title says Terror in Space or something, which makes more sense. Other than that, I loved the story in this movie, it's fantastic. Of course, this is a
