Not sure which one, but "Five Million Years to Earth" was the US renaming of one of those mid 60s Quatermass flicks. Fantastic movie and it scared the bejesus outta me as a kid and is still extremely spooky...
Those grasshopper Martians and the ancient memories brought forth from that lady's subconscious mind shown on that old cathod ray tube !! The wind down in the underground and all....CHILLING and not cheesy at all, very believable.
Oh btw, I'm an old Trekkie from the inaugural show...I watched it from the beginning all the way to the boxset DVD's I have now of that Original Series.
A couple of the shows, "City on the Edge of Forever" (the Guardian) and the one where they went back to the ice ages thru the other 'time portal" of Mr. Atoss ?? They both reminded me of that chilling effect I got from the Quatermass movie. The windy sounds !!!
Oh...here's Mr. ATOZ,
and the Guardian from City on the Edge of Forever,
and a great link to The Original Series,
