Looks familiar. Maybe from a movie where when they cut that monster open, the insides looked like spaghetti and tomato sauce. |

I'm old and geeky, but I dunno for sure.
Is it 'Space: 1999', circa 1976, starring Martin Landau? Shytte looks familiar as hell. |

I think it's the Krinoid from Dr.Who's 'The Seeds of Doom' starring Tom Baker. |

Looks like it could be from the movie "The Gate" (1987) but I don't know for sure. |

I'd tend to go with Dr Who too, though I'm not entirely sure. |

Yup. From an episode called Dragon's Domain
Scared the living crap out of me when I was a kid. |

Yay! I'm the geekiest! I'm terrific.
Seriously though, I don't think I ever saw even re-runs of that show, but it was a big Sunday night ritual in my family to watch it together back in, oh, 1976 or 77. I can't remember plots but I do remember some of the imagery, and some of the actors, and the cool spaceships they had. I guess I was around 4 or 5. Wow, 30 years, now!
Was that show any good, TWG? Did you ever see it as an adult?
Memory is so weird. I still get jingles stuck in my head from those days too. |

I watched it all the time. I thought it was the greatest. I dare not watch it now; I enjoy the delusions that still linger.
As for the picture twg posted, that was a crazy program. The monster dragged people under it then spat out the bones. Groovy. |

Yes!!! I distinctly remember seeing the reruns on FRENCH tv ("Cosmos 1999"), maybe 15 or 20 years ago. Loved the Martin Landau-Barbara Bain chemistry. Thanks for the memories, now I must go and try to find me some episodes of Mission:Impossible... Rollin Hand and Cinnamon Carter! |

It's very... slow by today's standards. And the heroes aren't the proactive sorts you'd see today. It's pretty much of it's time. |
