Thinking Outside the "Plot"!
________________________________

~ A Question for the Members: Roger Corman did a great job of "borrowing" bits and pieces from a Russian movie and hiring screenwriter/director Curtis Harrington to write a script which he could turned into a good movie at a cost of only $65,000 . . . in just seven-and-a-half days,

God beat him by only 12 hours when He created the universe . . . but I suspect that God went WAY over budget! And we still have no idea when God's overly long story will finally end.

But seriously . . . am I the only one who thinks Mr. Corman's tale of an invasion by alien vampires has plenty of room for sequels?

~ My Theory: Consider the concept. A race of technologically advanced aliens with a hunger for blood send a small expedition to Earth in hopes of seeding our unwary world with slimy eggs that will hatch into a race of ruthless vampires who will feast on mankind!

And did we actually defeat this foul plot against the human race?

Nope. We didn't . . .

The movie ends with Forrest J. Ackerman — a simple lab technician — gleefully carting out a tray filled with the pulsating eggs (one of many which filled the ship), so that he and head scientist Basil Rathbone could have fun with them in their laboratory!

Meanwhile, back on the aliens' home world, these bloodsuckers are undoubtedly preparing for a more ambitious shopping trip to Earth to pick up plenty of fresh groceries for their families.

Or . . . are they?

The scenes we see of the alien world don't seem to show a massive preparation for a full-scale invasion In fact, their meager expedition to Earth seems more like a desperate effort to save a dying planet!





With that in mind — and based on the intercepted images which the aliens transmitted prior to their ship's arrival — I predict that mankind will realize we've gained a significant advantage by exposing the vampire queen's purpose and her evil plot . . . along with the info the aliens foolishly gave us in those transmissions!

The bottom line, folks, is that mankind is aware of the aliens' weaknesses, and we can defend ourselves against them.

Furthermore, we can reverse engineer their technology and travel to their planet to neutralize their threat to mankind!

(What do you think, guys? Is this a concept that would make a good sequel to Queen of Blood?)
