The X from Outer Space1967

Horror Vault's take

Japan's FAFC space program sends the rocket AAB-Gamma on a bold mission to Mars, but a strange encounter near the red planet leaves the crew with far more than data — they unknowingly bring back something that should never have left the void of space. What begins as a specimen of curiosity rapidly reveals itself to be an existential threat on a colossal scale. This late-60s kaiju outing blends Cold War space-race anxieties with the beloved Japanese giant-monster tradition, delivering city-stomping spectacle with a distinctly cosmic twist.
