Missile to the Moon1958
“Lunar She-Devils Lure Earthmen Into Their Lair of Doom!”
Directed by Richard E. Cunha
The premise
Two escaped convicts are found hiding in a rocketship built by a renegade inventor, who forces them to become the crew for a trip to the Moon. Also on board, as inadvertent stowaways, are his assistant and his secretary; and none of them are aware that the inventor is actually a Lunarian explorer sent to Earth by the dying Lunar civilization and the only remaining male member of that civilization.
Horror Vault's take
When two escaped convicts are caught hiding aboard an experimental rocket, they find themselves unwilling crew members on a dangerous voyage to the Moon. What awaits them on the lunar surface is far stranger and more deadly than any of them could have imagined. This late-1950s B-movie blend of science fiction and horror delivers giant spiders, exotic lunar dangers, and pulpy thrills in the tradition of drive-in creature features. It's a campy time capsule of Cold War-era space anxiety and monster-movie spectacle.
