Anyone know this movie?

I saw it many years ago when I was about 10.
It was a chessy B movie with crappy effects about
a space crew going to Mars ( I think it was Mars).
Upon arrival one person found little red blob the size of a golf ball and it gets on their space ship. The blob grows and grows into this monster thats kills each crew member one by one. Its not a horror flick but some kind of dark comedy.

I don't know what this movie is called, but would like to find out so I can watch it again.

Anyone?
:confused:

I saw something like that once actually on AMC. I also have a movie that I saw once that I have always wondered the name and never got an answer for too. This one involved a killer wig. Anyone know that one? I wish I could think of the name of this one that your talking about too.

It might be "The Angry Red Planet," which is a very famous sci-fi Mars B-movie.

IMDB lists the plot summary as:

Our first manned flight to Mars returns after being thought lost in space. Only two survivors (Mohr & Hayden) of the original four are on board. Mohr has a green growth on his arm, and nothing that the doctor's do will kill it. Hayden under hypnosis, tells of their adventures on Mars. Thought to be a dead planet, it's inhabited with man-eating plants, giant Bat-Rat-Spider-Crab monsters, a strange city on a lake, and a one-eyed monster that dissolves anything that it swallows or touches.

Maybe that's not it, but IMDB is a helpful resource.

It sounds like you're describing "The Creature Wasn't Nice", also known as "Spaceship".

It was a passably funny movie that I saw many years ago on TMC. The following plot summary fits what you remember:

"When the spaceship Vertigo stops to explore a previously unknown planet, the crew finds an unrecognized dollop of protoplasm and takes it aboard ship to return it to earth for analysis. On board, lifeform expands into an oozing person-eating monster which communicates primarily by means of a Vegas lounge act. The crew is gobbled up one after another until the two surviving crewmembers come up with a plan."

Keep the obscure movie questions coming. I'm on a roll. :)

Okay, I don't know if this is a popular movie, but when I was young I saw this movie on late at night. A guy buys an old mirror at an antique store. He takes it home and in the middle of the night, an old man's face appears in the mirror and starts calling out to him. That's all I remember.

Another movie (I think it was a movie but maybe it was a TV show) was about this man who is picked on for not being bright, and one night he hides from a group chasing him by disguising himself in the scarecrow costume pitched in a field and the people chasing him kill him and he dies in this scarecrow outfit, hanging in the field. Then he comes back from the dead as the scarecrow and starts killing everyone who picked on him.

Wait a minute- the blob communicates primarily by means of a Las Vegas lounge act? What the hell does that mean?!!

Expanding blobs that kill are fascinating. Probably because they have no face/personality.

ZombieMan- I'm not sure if this is the "killer wig" movie you've seen but there was an "Amazing Stories" episode called "Hell Toupee" where a man who puts on a wig gets the urge to kill. The Simpsons made a similar episode after it also called "Hell Toupee".

Sounds like that would be "From Beyond the Grave", one of the old British classics. It was made in 1973.

That movie is "Dark Night of the Scarecrow", a TV movie made in 1981.
