The Trollenberg Terror is the title of both a 1956 "Saturday Serial" ITV television program and a better-known 1958 black and white science fiction film. The latter is also known as The Crawling Eye (USA release from Distributors Corporation of America), Creature from Another World, The Creeping Eye, and The Flying Eye. Both versions are directed by Quentin Lawrence and feature Laurence Payne as journalist Philip Truscott, who investigates unusual accidents occurring at a Swiss resort. The film also stars Forrest Tucker as United Nations troubleshooter Alan Brooks. Peter Key wrote the story for the serial, and Jimmy Sangster scripted the film version based on Keys's story. This was the final film to be produced by Southall Studios, one of the earliest pioneer film studios in the UK.

Under the title The Crawling Eye, the film was the first of many to be mocked on the nationally-televised version of TV series Mystery Science Theater 3000. It was also featured at the end of the final episode of the show.

An episode of Freakazoid spoofs the opening credits of the film, as well as key elements of the plot (though with victims being turned into clowns instead of being killed).

[edit] Synopsis

A remote mountain resort in Switzerland is invaded by horrible alien creatures which inhabit a radioactive cloud at the peak of the Trollenberg mountain.
