Everything about the film "Planet Of Blood," written and directed by Curtis Harrington, is a real enigma from start to finish! First off, it's a low-budget film that looks fantastic. By today's standards, it had an all-star cast, young and old, including Basil Rathbone, John Saxon, Dennis Hopper and the man himself, Forrest J. Ackerman! The reason the space scenes looks so incredible is because they are cut out of a much larger budget, 1960 Soviet production entitled "Nebo Zovyot" or as it was released in the U.S., "Battle Beyond The Sun," you know the movie with the world famous scary vagina monster! Even the music and sound credits are weird, with Ron Stein masking as the space age Leonard Morand, and since this isn't exactly all music, you have to give a lot of credit to the sound department of Nelson-Corso too for their contributions to the overall soundscape. A fun movie to watch, but hard to find. The sound quality here is not that great as it was taken from an old VHS tape, but you will get the idea.
This is
the coolest picture of rockets!!!
You can thank "Nebo Zovyot" for this fantastic shot!!
Check it out! Their helmets are mini versions of.............
This super-nifty extraordinary spaceship!!
Dennis, send her back where she came from, you won't regret it!!
John really is not wanting to have anything to do with this whole deal!
Just another stunning shot!!
Of course, Forry, grinning like Lewis Carroll's Cheshire Cat gets in the last dig, thus setting up for a sequel that will never happen, but still, that's
one hip cat!!
Melvyn Leonard is credited with composing the theme for TV's "Leave It To Beaver" along with a host of other TV shows and also the music for some "Beany & Cecil" cartoons. The music from this scene in "Daughter Of Dr. Jekyll" does sound a bit cartoony, then again, it's coming from an Edison Standard Cylinder Phonograph, and despite being old timey, this music swings along pretty good during this classic scene of the pretty girl putting on her stockings with the pervert peering in the window. 
The monster guy looks old and doesn't really look that big, strong or scary, but he kicks John Agar's butt a couple of times and is quite the creep!! 
The lovely Marjorie Stapp is the woman getting dressed and about to get attacked. In our Horror Hall Of Fame, there's a spot for Marjorie, for her roles in "The Werewolf", "The Monster That Challenged The World", "Kronos", "The Indestructible Man" and of course, this film. The phone dialogue here is classic & very funny, and she is great!!! "Just calling to let you know there's a killer running loose, but the village men are patrolling the woods, but you would be advised to bar your doors and windows anyway." Right!! 
In this scene Gloria Talbot tries to solve the mystery of why in the hell would John Agar be wearing this absurd striped jacket in this film. The answer is revealed when you realize wardrobe master Robert Martien's previous film was "Around The World In 80 Days", a movie with lots of costumes. Recycle those leftovers, Yessir!!
