Retro Blood 192: Creature (1985)
James Kline and J.H. Alison return to “It Came From Outer Space Part 2” with another deep dive into '80s sci-fi horror. This week: Creature (1985)—a gooey, gory space shocker often compared to Alien, but with its own slimy charm.

We kick things off with quick thoughts on the film’s alien bug creatures, mind control madness, and space corporation rivalries. Think cold-blooded business deals, exploding heads, and one very ancient extraterrestrial threat.

In our weekly history segment, we explore what was happening around Creature’s release on May 8, 1985:

    🤼‍♂️ Pro Wrestling: A stacked Prime Time Wrestling card from Toronto, featuring major Canadian talent and Hulk Hogan riding a wave of popularity up north.

    🎸 Metal: Alison digs into the rise of Overkill and the thrash metal energy building in ’85.

Then it’s behind-the-scenes time:

    🎬 Director William Malone swears it’s not a ripoff of Alien—we’ll let you be the judge.

    😈 Klaus Kinski’s on-set antics bring chaos, and we dig into the strange legacy of this cult flick.

    🛠️ Learn about the low-budget FX, the cast of space explorers, and how this movie was stitched together during the golden age of VHS horror.

Finally, we break down the full film:

    Two space corporations battling for resources on Titan

    Alien parasites hijacking minds

    Confused space crews, 2,000-year-old monsters, and a healthy dose of synth-fueled mayhem

It’s sleazy, it's slimy, and it’s prime Retro Blood material. Hit play and blast off into outer space terror!
