I was thinking a while ago about how much this song reminds me of 1940s/1950s creature horror movies

& I drew a fake poster of it as if it were one

Does my vision make sense

Also Some notable inspiration (heavy on the blob)

The Brain Eaters (1958)

An invasion of alien parasites tasking over people's bodies isn't exactly a new concept, nor was it in 1958, but this movie still does that concept fairly well. They also knew well enough to only actually show the alien pasties sparingly, as they do become progressively less intimidating the longer you look at them. Overall, just a pretty good 50's monster movie, helped quite a bit by its 61-minute runtime, not giving them the time for the kind of long uneventful stretches of film that you tend to encounter in other similar movies.

7/10
