Another creation of SFX designer Paul Blaisdell for the 1956 B-movie “It Conquered the World” wearing Pride colors. This is a fungus-based entity from Venus that Blaisdell named “Beulah” in Trans Pride colors. Blaisdell always put a ton of thought into the backgrounds for his monsters. At the time, it was believed that Venus was a hot, humid world like a sweltering jungle. So Blaisdell imagined Beulah as a giant, semi-mobile fungus that communicated telepathically. She wasn’t supposed to move very much, and would instead spawn little bat-like minions that could latch onto other beings and control them.
