Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help!

The original film title is "The Trollenberg Terror".

[edit] TV series

Unless someone is intending to write an in-depth article on the TV series, this article should probably cover both the film and the TV version, as it did originally. It's standard on WP (rightly or wrongly) that novels and their film adaptations share a page too.

[edit] Remerged film & TV series info

I've taken an older version of this article and folded in elements of the newer version of this article for the following reasons:

1. Without an extant source for further info on the TV serial, it's extremely unlikely there will be a separate article for it. (Consider how stubby this one currently is, even though it is mostly about the better-known film that is available on VHS and DVD and has a separate MST3K version.)
2. As long as this article is a stub, it's hard to list all the information provided without turning it into a bare list. I've tried to organize the data into a textual flow that mostly follows the following order of visibility: the film, the common actor in the 2 programs, the film's star, the common director, and the writers; except that I moved the director in front of the common actor to get the two actors nearer each other in the text.
3. I restored the "Saturday Serial" text because I think it may inspire readers familiar with the program to scare up some more data.
4. IMDb is the source for the alternative titles, and is already listed in "External links".
