Films: Mutiny in Outer Space (1965)
Alias: None
Type: Alien
Location: Eldritch Location/Haunted Home
Height/Weight: Grows up to be the size of a large building complex.
Affiliation: Neutral, leaning on Evil
Summary: Once again, invasive plant matter from space threatens people because they put their noses where they shouldn't be. At this point, it must be getting old.
History: Found on the icy lands of the moon, this fungus started out small. But it grew. Oh, how it grew. It grew so much that it became a threat to all life on the Space Station X-7. A shame the place is so perfectly heated for it.
Notable Kills: Nothing special.
Final Fate: After growing to the point of overtaking the entire base, the fungus gets blasted by concentrated cold air, killing it off for good.
Powers/Abilities: Aside from eating flesh, this fungus thrives in extremely hot environments.
Weakness: Cannot stand cold temperatures...so why didn't it die when it overtook the base and went into space?!
Scariness Factor: 2-The fungus was only a threat because of the cramped space the heroes were in. Aside from that, there's nothing that unique. Though that high-pitched squeal it makes when hurt is a bit unnerving.
Trivia: -This film starred Dolores Faith, who ended her film career after marrying millionaire James Robert Neal.
-This film was directed by an uncredited Arthur C. Pierce, who's long line of low-budget films includes such gems as "Women of the Prehistoric Planet".
