It Conquered the World is an independently made 1956 American science fiction film produced and directed by Roger Corman, and starring Peter Graves, Lee Van Cleef, Beverly Garland, and Sally Fraser. Shot in black-and-white, It Conquered the World was released theatrically by American International Pictures (AIP) as a double feature with The She-Creature.

It Conquered the World concerns an alien creature from the planet Venus that secretly wants to take control of the Earth. The creature makes radio contact with a disillusioned human scientist, who agrees to help because the scientist believes that such an alien intervention will bring peace and save a doomed humanity from itself.

The film originally received an "X" certificate in the UK, meaning that the picture could only be seen by adults. At issue, the scene of the creature being destroyed by a blowtorch was seen as animal cruelty. However, producer Samuel Z. Arkoff convinced the film board that the violence was against an otherworldly person, and not an animal, earning the film its passing certificate.

It! The Terror from Beyond Space is an independently made 1958 American science fiction horror film, produced by Robert Kent, directed by Edward L. Cahn, starring Marshall Thompson, Shawn Smith, and Kim Spalding. It was released by United Artists on August 7, 1958, and played as a double feature with Curse of the Faceless Man.

The story involves Earth's second mission to Mars to discover the fate of the first. The single survivor from that crashed spaceship, the expedition commander, claims his crew was killed by a Martian life form. None of the rescue crew believes him until the creature, now a stowaway, begins hunting them on their return trip to Earth.

The film's premise (along with Mario Bava's Planet of the Vampires) has been cited as inspiration for Dan O'Bannon's screenplay for Alien (1979).

It! The Terror from Beyond Space was financed by Edward Small and was originally known as It! The Vampire from Beyond Space. Principal photography took place over two weeks during mid-January 1958. Small kept changing his mind over whether he wanted plastic eyes installed in the creature's mask, causing aggravation for makeup artist Paul Blaisdell.
