10.30pm TONIGHT on THE SCHLOCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW on TVS SYDNEY CHANNEL 44 streamed LIVE at tvs.org.au/programs/schlocky-horror-picture-show - THEY CAME FROM BEYOND SPACE (1967) is a rather bland and cosmologically incorrect title that could have been applied to any one of scores of science fiction films of the era. It was made in Britain in 1967 and is adapted from a 1964 novel entitled The Gods Hate Kansas. As well they might, for those wacky gods hate a lot of their own creations - but I wonder what they think of plagiarists? This is so obviously a rip-off...I mean unacknowledged remake of the classic Quatermass II (1955) as to be worthy of Roger Corman. In short, this film is about as original as Disneys The Lion King. Till then, TOODLES!
