In the near future the two spaceships Argos and Galliot are sent to investigate the mysterious planet Aura. As the Galliot lands on the planet her crew suddenly go berserk and attack each other. The strange event passes, but the crew soon discovers the crashed Argos - and learns that her crew died fighting each other! Investigating further, the explorers come to realize the existence of a race of bodiless aliens that seek to escape from their dying world.
This one has a lot of amazing scenic shots, lighting, and visual effects, more so for being from 1965. It also has a lot of very good drama, dialogue, and well developed characters. The vampires' ability to possess their victims makes this one even more intense than a lot of other vampire movies. This is yet another example of how Mario Bava was pure cinematic genius for his time.

You can see how it influenced Alien in certain shots such as the giant skeleton.
