"Spaceman possessed in space by some evil force. At his bidding, his friends on the ground blowup the ship on re-entry. His hand/arm lives (still evil) and some cheeseball guy and his girlfriend find it on the beach. Guy becomes controlled by the hand that can't stop killing. Excellent BAD acting, some great lines, lots of fun."
As a kid this one scared me for months

"I just knew there was a hand crawling up the bed at night. Maybe 5 years old was a bit too young to be seeing this, but my cousins talked me into it.
Fun movie for teens."

"Peter Breck (Big Valley) plays a very intense scientist with the space program. How intense? So intense that I expected his head to sail off at any minute! You see, one of his astronauts (named Lockhart) has gone nuts, pleading with ground control to "push the red button" and blow up his ship. They comply, detonating Lockhart. Meanwhile, a young med student and his girl go swimmig on a california beach. Low and behold, they find a severed arm in an astronaut uniform sleeve! Paul (the med student) comes back for it later, taking it home in a shower curtain. He hides it behind some preserves in his landlady's pantry. The arm starts creeping around, knocking some jars over, waking the landlady, who must investigate. Of course, she gets choked bug-eyed! Unfortunately, the hand doesn't do much else, as it possesses Paul and uses him to cause further mayhem. Enter Alan Hale jr. as the portly sheriff. The rest is pretty dull. Watch it late at night and don't feel too bad if you fall asleep..."
