Galaxy of Terror is a 1981 American science fiction horror film produced by Roger Corman through New World Pictures and directed by Bruce D. Clark. It stars Edward Albert, Erin Moran, Ray Walston, Taaffe O'Connell, and future horror film alumni Sid Haig and Robert Englund. Set in a dystopian future where humanity is a spacefaring race ruled by a sole person called "The Master," the film features a space crew confronting primal fears after they are marooned on a distant planet.

The film has many of the hallmarks associated with the "B-movie" style Roger Corman became known for: low budget, clever set designs, talented, up-and-coming production personnel, and lots of exploitive material, including a notorious scene in which a worm sexually assaults Taaffe O'Connell.
