History Film / NightOfTheBloodBeast

* CoversAlwaysLie: Zigzagged. The alien does decapitate [[spoiler: Dr. Wyman]], but his severed head is never seen. Donna and Julie, meanwhile, keep their tops on throughout the movie; it's John that gets shirtless.

* MisterSeahorse: John.
* MonsterIsAMommy: More like 'daddy,' John is the 'mommy.'

* ShootingSuperman: When the monster breaks into the room, one of the other characters immediately responds by shooting at it repeatedly-- which was previously shown to be ''completely ineffective''.

* WhatTheHellHero: When the monster breaks into the room, one of the other characters immediately responds by shooting at it repeatedly-- which was previously shown to be ''completely ineffective''-- right after John finishes explaining that he can communicate with it!

* YouFailBiologyForever: Photosynthesis does NOT work that way!
** Human blood has ''three'' types of cells, not two. Apparently the writers forgot about platelets.
** While "dead", Johnny manages to have a normal blood pressure. Blood pressure is caused the beating of the heart, and is measured by the highest and lowest pressures in each beat. Since his heart wasn't beating at the time, that's quite the trick.

'''Night of the Blood Beast''' is a 1950s sci-fi BMovie produced by Creator/RogerCorman (and his brother, Gene).

* HeyItsThatGuy: [[Film/RidingWithDeath Ed Nelson]].

* YouLookFamiliar: The parrot-monster costume also shows up in ''Film/TeenageCaveman''.

* NoBudget: The Msted version makes note that it's not the monster that looks the cheapest this time, it's the equipment these "NASA" people work with.

* NoBudget: The MST3K version makes note that it's not the monster that looks the cheapest this time, it's the equipment these "NASA" people work with.

* MarsNeedsWomen: The titular beast seems much more interested in the female characters than the rest of the cast. Odd, considering that earlier in the film he impregnated a ''man''...

!!NightOfTheBloodBeast contains the following tropes:

* MisterSeahorse: [[strike:Steve]] John.

* FaceFullOfAlienWingWong: The alien apparently needs other species to impregnate with its shrimp babies. Oddly compared to how this trope is usually played, the victim doesn't seem to mind it.

* YouFailBiologyForever: Photosynthesis does NOT work that way!

'''Night of the Blood Beast''' is a 1950s sci-fi film produced by RogerCorman (and his brother, Gene). It was featured in the first episode of season 7 of ''MysteryScienceTheater3000''.

* FetishRetardant: John spends half the movie without a shirt on, so we get to see more of his pasty out of shape torso than we ever wanted to.
* FridgeHorror: Just ''how'' did John get impregnated?
** Those crescent-shaped wounds on his arm and neck were where the alien forced the embryos through his skin. Unpleasant but much less of a Squick-factor than the other option.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: Several, but most notably the supposed view of [[strike:Steve]] John's blood cells under the microscope. Even the MST3K crew can't make this scene funnier than it already is, and are just reduced to laughing. They also take great delight in pointing out that for alleged NASA employees, the film's characters don't seem to have any equipment more sophisticated than that you'd see at the local farmer's market.

!!The MysteryScienceTheater3000 presentation contains examples of:

* CallBack: One riff references TheBeastOfYuccaFlats.
* LastNoteNightmare: Help, the conductor is having a seizure!
* MisterSeahorse: Averted, much to Crow's distress.
* ObfuscatingDisability: Not "disability" as such, but Crow pretends to get pregnant because he thinks people bend over backwards to give pregnant women whatever they want and he's sick of them getting a free ride.
* PlanetOfSteves: "Steve--Steve and I have something to tell you."
--> "Steve One, you go that way! Steve Two, come with me!"
--> "This has 'Steve' written all over it!"
--> *offscreen crash is heard* "Steve?"
--> "Oh, Steve's name is John!"
* ReCut: The ''[=MST3K=]'' version first aired as the grand finale of Comedy Central's traditional Thanksgiving Day marathon ("Turkey Day"), with host segments that tied into the framing sequences shot for the rest of the marathon (featuring Dr. Forrester and Pearl inviting guest characters for Thanksgiving dinner). Future airings had a completely different set of host segments, which still established the changes for the seventh season (i.e. Pearl Forrester moving into Deep 13).
* RunningGag:
** The remarks of how Johnny is always "so dead."
** The blond photographer being unintelligent.
** The Blood Beast being like a fiance meeting hostile in-laws.
** The aforementioned Steve jokes.
** Mike and the 'Bots making parrot noises whenever the Beast is talking.
** Referring to the alien babies as shrimp ("Get the cocktail sauce...").
* ShoutOut: To MontyPythonsFlyingCircus: "They mean to win Wimbledon."
* {{Squick}}: Their reaction of John's aforementioned pasty flesh.
