The Angry Red Planet -- A science-fiction tale of an expedition to the 'angry red planet' of Mars...running into all sorts of alien terrors, including unfriendly Martian plants and a terrifying kind of giant mouse/spider hybrid.

A marine patrol secretly lands on the Japanese-occupied island of Siarago. Their mission: to locate a Japanese-American girl with vital information concerning General MacArthur's pending Philippine invasion. What they uncover instead is a Japanese plot to detonate underwater mines as the US fleet enters the bay. Cut off from outside communication, these brave marines must find a way to prevent what could be the worst naval tragedy from ever happening.

Four astronauts explore Mars and find they are anything but welcome. Strange, horrifying creatures try to kill them, and when they attempt to lift off, a giant amoeba-like monster envelops the ship. They finally succeed in breaking away, and make it back to Earth. Once safely home, a message from Mars warns humans never to return.

A spaceship lands on the mysterious planet Aura to search for a missing vessel. They discover the wreckage and realize that the crew members killed each other. The planet is populated by disembodied beings who need host bodies so they can leave aura and conquer Earth. Like zombies, the dead crew rise and kill off the search team.
