Swamp Thing

In "The Stalker from Beyond!", the swamp stirs with ancient dread as La Créature des Marais returns to its domain, only to find an alien ship wrecked in the mire—and a mysterious stranger trying to repair it. When Matt Cable and a team of men arrive, drawn by the crash, the line between hunter and hunted blurs in the fog-choked marshes.
