The Crawling Hand is a 1963 American science fiction horror film directed by Herbert L. Strock, and starring Peter Breck, Kent Taylor, Rod Lauren, Alan Hale and Allison Hayes.

Later, Paul, a naive student, discovers a disembodied hand near the crash site and takes it home as a grisly souvenir.

The fictional federal agency responsible for space flight is called to the small town because fingerprints found at the first crime scene match the missing, dead astronaut.

Paul, now under control of the Crawling Hand, attacks other people around the town, including his own beloved girlfriend.

This episode was released on VHS by Rhino Home Video in October 1999 and on DVD in June 2002, including the uncut film as a bonus feature.
