A campy 1960s creature-feature that blends pulpy sci-fi action with B-movie monster horror, driven by colorful spectacle and retro-futuristic charm rather than genuine dread.

A giant asteroid is heading toward Earth so some astronauts disembark from a nearby space station to blow it up. The mission is successful, and they return to the station unknowingly bringing back a gooey green substance that mutates into one-eyed tentacled monsters that feed off electricity. Soon the station is crawling with them, and people are being zapped left and right!
