SYNOPSIS: An intergalactic vampiric plague ("the colors from space") is threatening the earth, so a group of astronauts are dispatched in hopes of discovering its source. They land on a planet where everything is one color (what that color is changes periodically). They fight some natives, lose a few crewmembers, and may or may not have discovered a cure for what plagues the earth.

Stupidest-Looking Monster
Bat Creature
The bat creature that resides inside the cave is almost indescribable. If the words "midget," "wings," and "on a string" are not in your vocabulary, then it's entirely indescribable.
Worst Science
Chromatic Radiation and Space Viruses
You see, the chromatic radiation turns the atmosphere different colors. And depending on the color, different viruses are transmitted. And vampirism happens when the atmosphere is red. Blood red.

Worst Cover Copy
Horrible Cover
Not only is the cover overly-lurid, but the monster drawn on the front cover doesn't appear in the film. The plot description is sort of tangential, as well.
Sorry, this cover has not yet been made available!
Crummiest Ending
Viral Preaching
John Carradine gets preachy about the viruses, and about humanity.
A great Shakespearean actor, his deep
voice is
instantly recognizable, as is his
presence in many, many
mediocre horror films toward the end of
his career. Did
everything from The Ten
Commandments to
Dracula. Lent his voice to
the Great Owl in
The Secret of N.I.M.H..
