There Lie Monsters
I’ve never been a big fan of sci-fi or horror movies; I watched Star Wars and the Hobbit, but never Halloween or Freddie Krueger … just didn’t appeal to me. I think it had to do with Saturday morning tv as a kid watching B&W movies and a horror sci-fi type film maybe scarred me for life? I don’t remember the title, and barely the plot but maybe someone else will, and can identify it for me …
I think it involved space aliens, they were pretty gormless in form, sort of cloud like, grey and large like a cloud of fog. And if you came in contact with it, it got really bad, really fast. Humans would fall to the ground in conniptions and writhe and gasp, and their skin would peel off and their eyes would pop out, with various body fluid escaping all over their bodies as they died.
Scientist were called in to develop an anti-cloud serum that would protect humans much like a vaccine, I guess, and humans were clamoring to get the injections that would protect them from this nefarious alien cloud so that they could survive an encounter, which seemed inevitable as the alien cloud pretty much floated on the winds … and meant sure death if you met it.
Pretty much turned me off to sci-fi and scary films as a kid, would have been late 50’s or early 60’s … anyone else remember this film? I think it started with a C , maybe Cloud something, or maybe Fog o’ Death … or Deadly Breath from Space ?
Can’t remember but it sure stayed with me, buried in my subconsciousness…
