Short filmTranscript
00:00Somewhere in the dark of infinite space, there is a form of life that man has reason to fear.
00:19It is as old as the universe, it is real, it is evil, and now, it is here.
00:33After fear, beyond terror, there is the dark.
00:41All right, so a girl got murdered. What else is new?
00:44Beheaded, mutilated.
00:48I loved her, Mooney.
00:50She didn't deserve to have her face torn to pieces just because she was alone at night on one of your streets.
00:56Well, I think that you people could tell us whether or not he was black, white.
01:00Whatever it is, gentlemen, he's inhumanly strong.
01:16Another girl, Mooney?
01:17I don't have to tell you nothing.
01:19You're not talking to some kid, Mooney. You're talking to the father of a murdered girl.
01:23Four killings, still no pattern. I mean, where the hell is the pattern?
01:27Look, the flesh samples, they're consistent.
01:31So, what are you getting at?
01:34We have a creature that identifies with nothing known on Earth.
01:47William Devane, Kathy Lee Crosby, Richard Jacob, Kenan Wynn.
02:09Once they have felt the terror of the dark,
02:12there is only one way on Earth they will ever see the dawn.
02:16Are you prepared for the terror of the dark?
02:25The dark. Not all alien encounters will be friendly.
