"The nightmare terror of the slithering eye that unleashed agonizing horror on a screaming world!" - A series of decapitations on a Swiss mountainside appear to be connected to a mysterious radioactive cloud. A remote mountain resort in Switzerland is invaded by horrible alien creatures that like to decapitate humans. The beings are also in telepathic communication with people and inhabit a mysterious, radioactive cloud at the base of the Trollenberg mountain. Original title is THE TROLLENBERG TERROR. CAST includes Forrest Tucker, Laurence Payne, Jennifer Jayne, Janet Munro, Warren Mitchell, Andrew Faulds, Derek Sydney, Anne Sharp. BEHIND THE SCENES TRIVIA : John Carpenter has said that this film, with its creatures hidden in the clouds, was partly the inspiration for his film The Fog (1980). The cloud effect was done by nailing a piece of cotton wool to a photograph of a mountain. In the United States, this film was acquired by D.C.A. (Distributors Corporation of America) and paired with "The Strange World of Planet X" as a pre-packaged double feature. Both films were British productions headlined by American actor Forrest Tucker. The films were re-titled "The Crawling Eye" and "The Cosmic Monsters" for U.S. release. They would be among the last motion pictures distributed by D.C.A.
