EDITOR’S NOTE: Night Caller from Outer Space was first on Chiller Theater on Saturday, October 20, 1973 at 1:00 a.m. It also aired on May 18, 1974; February 1, 1975 and October 11, 1975.

This is also known as Blood Beast from Outer Space but isn’t the thought that an alien was crank calling in the days before Caller ID frightening?

Dr. Morley (Maurice Denham) and Dr. Jack Costain (John Saxon) have found a small ball that crash landed on our planet from Jupiter’s moon Ganymede. One night in their lab, their secretary Ann Barlow (Patricia Haines) sees a creature that soon kills Morley. Now Constain must find what exactly is on our planet.

This alien has the wildest plan. When girls try out for Bikini Girl magazine, it takes them with the goal of heading back to its planet with new breeding stock.

Directed by John Gilling (The Plague of the Zombies), this has some wild music in it, like Alan Haven’s jazzy cover of “Image” and the American version of the movie has a lounge song called “The Night Caller” by Albert Hague that is sung by Mark Richardson.
