Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe mask of the monster suit was altered considerably. When Ray Corrigan was fitted for the suit, the mask was initially too tight. Paul Blaisdell, who made the suit, had to remove and rebuild the monster's lower jaw so the mask would fit better. Unfortunately, Corrigan's chin stuck out through the opening made in the mask. Blaisdell made up his chin to look like the monster's tongue. The mask's original eyes (large and catlike, a Blaisdell trademark) were also removed; the eyes you see behind the mask are actually Corrigan's.
- GoofsVan Heusen opens the reactor shield to try to kill the monster, but it smashes through the door to escape. He doesn't reseal the shield, though. The adjoining space, the one with the man with the broken leg, should have been flooded with deadly radiation ("enough to kill a hundred men" as Van Heusen notes).
- Quotes
Lt. James Calder: Mars is almost as big as Texas. Maybe it's got monsters.

Featured review
It's okay.
If you'rr a ten year old kid home alone at about one in the morning in a creaky old house in the early sixties, this movie is actually pretty scary. The scenes where the monster keeps his just barely alive victims in the air vents (and actually drags one of them around with him) for who knows what reason are chillingly eery (or eeringly chilly). Good film for nostalgia fans.
