Other killer plant movies


Does anyone know of any other movies with killer plants.
The only other killer plant movies I've found is The Day of the Triffids and a
couple of X-files episodes (and that awesome tremors episode Flora or Fauna).

Invasion of the Body Snatchers, well, they were alien plants that took people over. Pretty scary movie. I think there were also re-makes of it, the original was in the 60's, but the 1977-78 one is really good. (That's the one I'm thinking of)

Check it out! :)

"Creepshow" (1982) had a segment with a meteorite that brought plant-life that took over the world.
In "Angry Red Planet" (1960), Mars is inhabited by man-eating plants.

The Ruins is going to be a killer plant film. It is based on the novel.

I think the anthology film Asylum has a killer plant story.

i think of tv episodes as well, the british 1960's series "the avengers", i think it's in the last season of black&white episodes, 1965 or 66, the episode title refers to plant eater if i remember right.



monster winter storm,
ground covered up with snow,
stacking food at home,
electricity any time may be gone,
children and a panda playing out in the snow,
sky as white as the ground below,
about everybody is having a ball,
i just wish you darlin were close,
in the monster winter storm.

"Man-Eater of Surrey Green" (first aired Dec. 1965)

Doctor Who the original/classic version had a 1976 serial called "The Seeds of Doom," which was roughly a cross between The Thing from Another World and The Day of the Triffids.

It was written by Robert Banks Stewart, who had also written for The Avengers. It would have been too convenient for him to have also written "Surrey Green," and he did not, although he knew the writer who did, Philip Levene, and at least on the DVD commentary for "Seeds" he acknowledges the coincidence. Both stories do feature a carnivorous plant that originates from outer space.

2 others I've heard of that I didn't see in any of the other posts are The Crawlers, a direct-to-video movie about radioactive tree roots, and an early-'80s movie called Blood Beach. IIRC, the monster sucking people down into the sand in BB was revealed in the end to be a giant underground-dwelling plant.

EDIT: And wasn't there an episode of the old "Kolchak" TV show that had like a moss monster or a swamp monster or something in it?
