A mocumentary comedy about the goings on behind the scenes at a major dog show.
Directed by horror master Terence Fisher this black and white cult classic finally gets a UK release.The Earth Dies Screaming opens with a frightening series of disastrous accidents, a train crash, multiple car crashes, a plane crash and ordinary people dropping dead in the streets. Hundreds, thousands, millions of casualties and not a single word of dialog has even been spoken yet! Aliens have invaded on a world wide scale! A small handful of survivors gather together in a remote rural English town to battle the Alien robots. On contact with the robots humans are transformed into rampaging zombies.With its haunting score and general creepiness this is a lesson of cinematographic economy and atmospheric invention worthy of this subversive and very talented director.
Their target: Humanity. Their mission: Total Annihilation! The world has just been decimated by an unstoppable, merciless army of killer robots, and millions of innocent souls have been wiped out! Only a handful of survivors have managed to escape the deadly alien apocalypse, and they must endure a non-stop struggle to save themselves from destruction, and somehow find a way to defeat the marauding death machines... before the entire human race becomes extinct! Legendary Hammer director Terence Fisher (Horror of Dracula) directed this Sci-Fi thriller written by Harry Spalding (Chosen Survivors) under the pseudonym Henry Cross and starring Willard Parker, Virginia Field, Dennis Price and Thorley Walters.

The stud soon attracts the attention of sweet shopkeeper Katherine Egan (Dorothy Hart), who happens to be the sheriff's sister. Also with her eye on Sam is Calamity Jane (Yvonne De Carlo), an infamous and wild frontierswoman. The town is gearing up for a big-money horse race and Sam wants to cash in on the action. He gets lucky with a star horse, and quickly rakes in the dollars. However, it's not long before Sam's luck starts to run out, both with horses and women. When disaster strikes, will he turn to crime for the way out?
