A prime example that "less is more" shows what can be done with a limited budget on a weekly TV series. The "salt vampire" is quite well-done as a "rubber suit" monster, and was on display at the old "Star Trek" exhibit in Las Vegas. Thankfully, they abandoned the "monster of the week" concept almost at once on Star Trek. (Often used on the tacky "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" series.) The major makeup goof here is the blood on Mr. Spock. Both green and red blood appear on his forehead and face. Too bad the "Television Code" kicked in here: "All murderous beings must die". Poor "Nancy"! Like "What are Little Girls Made Of", one of the very best first season "TOS" episodes!
