Galaxy of Terror is a 1981 science fiction horror film produced by Roger Corman through New World Pictures and directed by Bruce D. Clark. It was distributed by United Artists. It stars Edward Albert, Erin Moran, Ray Walston and Taaffe O'Connell. Plot On the desolate, storm-lashed planet Morganthus, the last survivor of a crashed spaceship is attacked and killed by an invisible undead crew member. A very long distance away, on the Earth-like world Xerxes, two figures play a strange game. One, an old woman named Mitri, controls the game while the other, a male, is the Planet Master, an all-powerful mystic. The Master instructs Ilvar, one of his military commanders to go on a rescue mission to Morganthus for the previous ship.

The crew discover that something from the planet pulled them down and, in order to escape, they must investigate. While exploring the planet, they discover a massive pyramid-shaped structure, which Alluma describes as "empty" and "dead". They find an opening at the top of the pyramid and use a rope to slide Ilvar in; Ilvar is attacked by tentacles that drain his blood. They find an alternate entrance, though Quuhod breaks his crystal throwing stars and remains by the entrance. The throwing stars reform; when Quuhod picks one up, a piece breaks off and begins sliding through his skin, forcing
