Friday and Saturday at Midnight The Krotons movie version
One of Doctor Who's most popular writers, Robert Holmes, made his debut in this tale of a peaceful people ruled and used by secretive crystalline beings. The 2nd Doctor, Jamie, and Zoe arrive on Graduation Day. Of course, by the time they're done, it's Independence Day. And that could result in it being the Day of the DEAD.
