Episode description

The Earth Dies Screaming is a black and white, 1964 British horror science fiction film directed by Terence Fisher ( who also directed The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) - covered in episode 2 of the General Witchfinders, and went on to film several adaptations of classic horror subjects, including Dracula (1958), The Mummy (1959), and The Curse of the Werewolf (1961)

‘Dies Screaming’ stars Willard Parker, Virginia Field and Dennis Price.

Human bodies are scattered around an English village, apparently dead in a sudden cataclysm. A small group of survivors gather in the local hotel bar, led by an American jet test pilot, Jeff Nolan (played by Parker). During the very short feature the rag tag team face off against Ro-berts, zombies and each other.

The film was shot in black and white at Shepperton Studios in London. Location filming was done at the village of Shere in Surrey. 

The British band UB40 released a single, "The Earth Dies Screaming", in 1980, which spent 12 weeks in the UK chart, peaking at number 10.

The first track on Tom Waits' 1992 album Bone Machine is entitled "Earth Died Screaming."
