Great Movie, other similar films?

I've been collecting 50's/60's sci-fi for a couple of years now. Finally saw this last night and really enjoyed. I like the whole creepy planet/unknown alien enemy vibe (although the youtube trailer that lead me to buying the film did ruin that reveal). This is now one my favourites, alongside 'Them!', 'The Thing From Another World' and 'Quatermass 2'.

Just wondering if there are any similar films to 'Planet of the Vampires' people can recommend for my collection? I've also started moving onto the 70's, and am thinking about maybe collecting some old horror (50's hammer type stuff).

Forbidden Planet
Queen of Blood
Journey to the Prehistoric Planet
First Spaceship on Venus
It! The Terror from Beyond Space
World Without End

My own personal favourite, although nothing like "Planet of the Vampires",is "The Unearthly Stranger", probably the best, most ingenious low budget SF movie ever.

The Unearthly Stranger" is a decent little effort - but the original Invasion of Body Snatchers and Invaders from Mars are far superior
Alien and It -Terror from Outer Space are most close to PoV - both films area million times better as are the Dalek films -unless you are a Bava ass -kisser

I like Queen of Blood because I like John Saxxon in almost anything, and I like how these goofy spacemen have such a hard-on for scientific discovery that they don't waste a moment on whether it's morally correct or dangerous to mankind.
