Science fiction films and television always seem like a natural fit for the month of October and especially Halloween. Old Soviet era sci-fi like the 1960 East German classic, "First Spaceship on Venus", the german title is, "The Silent Star", is a perfect match for the season.





If you've seen this movie before, take another look at this!



Here is the highest resolution upload of this old movie I've ever seen on YouTube. The wide-angle remaster shows detail I've never seen before.



The scene of the Cosmostrator landing on Venus is outstanding!

and speaking of sci-fi . . . how about the computer graphic classic, "Devil's Mine Ride":

Like I keep saying, Sci-fi movies and Halloween just seem to go together, in my opinion.



And Halloween wouldn't be the same without, "Queen of Blood", from 1966.

It's funny, I never watch much sci-fi this time of year. Some of these looks like a lot of fun though, so I'll have to check a couple out before the month is over.

And it gets better . . . I've been saying for years that just as video games get turned into movies, movies can be turned into awesome video games with the storyline broken into chapters.



"Queen of Blood", would make an interesting game if new spaceships filled with aliens land on Earth and brave bands of humans have to fight them off.

If you've never seen "This Island Earth", from 1955, you're missing a great one!



Here is a movie that captures the early development of electronics in a serious manner, with excellent acting and action. Maybe this will be the old sci-fi movie that will be turned into a video game.

This Island Earth has been on my radar for years, but I have yet to watch it. I couldn't tell you why that is, but I keep passing it by. Time to finally watch it!

I had to remember where I had heard of this film before. Turns out it was the film that was riffed on during the MST3K movie.

I'm grateful to MST3K, a lot of old movies got another chance to live.
