Planet of the Vampires
1965
Teaser Storyline for Planet of the Vampires
The Argos and the Galliot space ships reconnoiter the strange planet Aura in a distant galaxy, a seemingly barren world which is believed to maintain intelligent life because of radio voice transmissions and an oxygen atmosphere. Led by the Argos' commander Captain Mark Markary (BARRY SULLIVAN) and his assistant Sanya (NORMA BENGELL), the explorer-scientists land in an effort to contact any inhabitants.
During the landing descent to Aura, the Argos goes out of control mysteriously, while several of the crew seem to go temporarily berserk and attack their friends. The anti-gravity mechanism also seems to go out of order, but the ship lands with little damage and the crew's men and women are apparently normal again. They then find that their sister ship, the Galliot, has crashed with all lives lost and the bodies indicating that most had killed each other off in violent struggles.
The mystery of the strange events and personality changes during the landing operations deepens when the explorers fail to
|
find any explanation nor any sign of life,
Meanwhile, while no living being has been sighted, menacing strange sounds and controlled wisps of fog manifest themselves. Also those crew members who sleep alone are suddenly -found attacking their comrades evidence of an unseen and dangerous presence with strange powers over minds of men.
The remaining members of the expedition now start to die or vanish one by one until Captain Mark corners and captures one of the supposedly dead crew members to learn that it really is an inhabitant of Aura - a mind without a body which has taken over the body of the crewman, as have his fellow Aurans. He now solves the diabolical mystery of the planet
- it is inhabited by advanced minds who have been seeking bodies to escape from their home plus a space ship to travel to another world!
The surviving crew of the Argos then foil the Aurans plot to disable their ship and take over the crippled Galliot. Captain Mark and Sanva are the sole Survivors as the Argos is reactivated and they escape to try to fly back to their home planet.
