==Ratings==
===[http://www.mpaa.org/film-ratings/ MPAA Ratings]===

* Rated: (none) (roughly equivalent to a "PG" for Violence, gore, and creepiness)

===Tentacle Ratings===
A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
* S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)

Not explicitly or implicitly based on any particular Lovecraft creation, though the bleak, oppressive atmosphere and hints of a vast, indifferent, Gothic universe haunted by alien ghosts is not too far off from Lovecraft in spirit.

''Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.''

===Comments, Trivia, Dedication===

* Many fans of horror and science fiction films have noted numerous similarities between this film and ''[[Alien (1979 franchise)]]'', such as the hints at a dystopic setting, the dark and foggy planet, the distress signal emitted by a derelict spaceship containing only a fossilized giant skeleton, the parasitic alien ghosts invading human bodies, etc. The creators of ''Alien'' claim to have not seen ''Planet of the Vampires'', however.

===Associated Mythos Elements===
* disembodied alien "ghosts" possessing human bodies
