Nightbeast is a 1982 American science fiction horror film directed by Don Dohler. The story concerns a small town sheriff who must stop a rampaging alien from killing the residents of Perry Hall, Maryland.

Production

Nightbeast features opening credit effects by Ernest D. Farino and the creature was created by John Dods.

The film was made for approximately $14,000.

J. J. Abrams worked on the film as a 16-year-old. Abrams became aware of Dohler from the latter's articles in a local film magazine, Cinemagic. After Dohler and Abrams exchanged correspondence, Dohler asked Abrams if he would be interested in scoring the film. While the film was shot in Baltimore, Maryland, Abrams, who lived in Los Angeles, mailed the tapes to Dohler.

The film substantially reworks the premise of Dohler's earlier The Alien Factor, replacing its three extraterrestrials with a single alien. Several actors from the earlier film returned, with some playing the same characters.
