The unforgettable "Space Jockey" sequence is a massive visual and thematic homage to Mario Bava's 1965 Italian sci-fi horror film "Planet of the Vampires." In Bava's film, a crew of astronauts also investigates a distress signal on a fog-covered planet, only to enter a ruined alien vessel and find the giant skeletal remains of an unknown extraterrestrial race that died long ago.
