Zontar: The Thing from Venus1967
“It's Coming for YOU from Space to wipe all living things from the face of the Earth! CAN IT BE STOPPED?”
Directed by Larry Buchanan
The premise
A misguided scientist enables an alien from Venus named Zontar to come to earth in order to "help solve man's problems". However, as soon as Zontar arrives on Earth, it quickly becomes obvious that the three-eyed, bat-winged, skeletal black creature has a hidden agenda.
Horror Vault's take
When a well-meaning scientist secretly assists a bizarre extraterrestrial in making the journey from Venus to Earth, he believes he is ushering in a new era of peace and progress. The creature — a grotesque, bat-winged horror with three eyes — has very different plans in mind. As Zontar tightens its grip on the community, paranoia spreads and trust between neighbors and colleagues begins to crack. This low-budget 1967 TV movie delivers classic Cold War-era alien-invasion dread with a distinctly creature-feature flavor.
