Captain's Library & Theatre: MOONTRAP
We've presented the comic adaptation of the HTF movie MoonTrap.
Today, the Production Notes (adapted from the press kit).
They do exaggerate a bit, but it's really a pretty good b-movie!
Here's the trailer...

Captain's Library: MOONTRAP Conclusion
When Last We Left Our Heroes...
It opens, unleashing a cybernetic life-form which cannibalizes surrounding technology to rebuild itself into a death-dealing robot.
Narrowly-defeating the automaton, scientists deduce from particles on the pod and corpse that they had previously been on the Moon, specifically Prometheus Crater.
Grant and Tanner lead a hastily-assembled mission to the lunar site, where they find a half-buried alien base...and a female alien in suspended animation, whom they revive.
Unfortunately, more of the hostile robots are also re-activated.
The astronauts and alien head for the NASA lunar lander to escape, only to find the spacecraft gone and tracks showing the direction it was dragged...
To date, there's been no MoonTrap II.
In fact, it's not even available on commercial DVD!
Pity...
Here's the credits page for the adaptation...
The movie's writer, Tex Ragsdale also penned the comic adaptation.
Tomorrow we'll present the background info on this amazing little flick, including the trailer.
In the meantime, here's a sketch to pique your interest...

Captain's Library: MOONTRAP Part One
With Apollo 18, about a secret trip to the Moon to investigate aliens, opening this week...
...I thought we'd look at another movie with a similar theme that has been all-but-forgotten...
Stranded on the Moon with a beautiful alien and killer robots!
If this was how the last couple of Apollo flights had gone, we'd still have a space program!
Tomorrow, the astounding conclusion along with some kool trivia about this "lost" flick, such as "why do the two lead characters look like Bruce Campbell and Walter Koenig?"!
