Corman's Alien Turns Breck Girl Into Bloodless Mummy

Roger Corman made three different versions of Not Of This Earth, his story about an alien who needs human blood. There was the 1955 black-and-white version, and the campy 1988 Traci Lords version. But most people agree that the 1995 remake finally got it right. In this scene, Michael York uses his mind-control voice to slow down a shiny-haired girl , then burns out her eyes with his eye-rays. Once she's helpless, he drains her blood with an evil blood-sucking machine. The rest of the movie turns into York posing as an anemic millionaire and hypnotizing the medical establishment into giving him lots of blood transfusions, but we prefer this stalkery moment.
