**SPOILERS** Crashing back down to earth the first man in space Maj. John Corcoran,Michael Emmet, goes into a deep state of suspended animation where he's at first mistakenly declared dead by his colleague back at the army base Dr. Alex Wyman, Tyler McVey. Back at the base John begins to show signs of life as his heart and blood-pressure come back and his body doesn't go into rigor mortise. It's later when this Blood Beast, played by Ross Sturlin in a rubber suit, appears out of nowhere and out of camera range that thing really start to get interesting with it not only attacking Dr. Wyman in his room but ripping off his head and taking off with it.
It's now after Dr. Wyman's demise that John comes to life to the astonishment of his fellow military base associates his fiancé Dr. Julie Benson, Angela Green, as well as Steve Dave & Donna, John Baer Ed Nelson & Georgianna Carter. It seems that when John was in outer space he was somehow impregnated, I kid you not, by the Blood Best and is about to give birth to a brood of, what looks like on the X-Ray machine, sea horses!
John under the control of the Blood Beast, who's using Dr. Wyman's brain to communicate, has nothing but praise for this weird creature who looks like a cross between an octopus and giant parakeet. Telling the crew at the base that the Blood Beast came in peace to help the human race, even though it killed Dr. Wyman and tried to kill Donna,John convinces them to just give it a chance to tell it's story.
Taking Julie Donna Dave & Steve along with him to the Blood Beast's hideout, a cave, John get's the somewhat shy creature, with those looks could you really blame it, to come out in the open and enlighten them to it's mission on earth. We get this harangue from the creature about how it's here to save mankind from destroying itself with nuclear weapons and how,the human race and race of Blood Beasts can work together to prevent that from happening.
Things get a little bit weird when all of a sudden John who was at first so much in favor of what the creature is doing goes wacky. John hysterically screams to his friends to both kill him and the creature because it's going to enslaved the human race! With him being used a an incubator by it in producing an army of Blood Beasts! We have the predictable ending with the creature getting whacked by a number of Molotov cocktails and John driving a knife into his gut killing himself and his soon to be born Blood Beast off-springs.The creature gives us a chilling warning as it's slowly burning up saying that as long as the human race sends rockets up into space other Blood Beasts will be ready to take over the bodies of the astronauts and come back to earth to finish the job that he started.
Standard 1950's monster from outer space movie that has a very similar plot to the immortal Ed Wood bad movie classic "Plan Nine from Outer Space" that was in fact released a year later in 1959. Like in "Plan 9" the movie "Night of the Blood Beast" has to do with an alien race coming to earth to save mankind from it's own destructive ways and failing miserably. The Blood Beast speech to the people at the army base was almost a replica of Eros speech to the persons invited on his spaceship in "Plan 9" with both the Blood Beast & Eros getting wasted within minutes of delivering it!
