It's Alive

April 26, 1974

The Davises are expecting a baby, which turns out to be a monster with a nasty habit of killing people whenever scared. And it's easily scared.

It Lives Again

May 10, 1978

Maternity wards echo with the patter of tiny claws as more murderous baby-faced monsters are born. But rather than kill their monstrous offspring during delivery, cursed parents flee to secret incubation hideouts.

The mutant babies have been placed by court order on a deserted island. Appalled by the cynicism and exploitation by the legal system and the media, the man responsible leads an expedition to the island to free them.
