Description by OLDIES.com:

Terror in the Midnight in the Sun (1958, 70 minutes): A glowing white spaceship lands under the snow above the Arctic Circle in the Lapland region of Northern Sweden. Believing it to be an unusual meteor, a team of geologists race to the site just in time to be menaced by a giant, furry, monster-faced something-or-other that looks like a drunken Chewbacca. The creature waddles around, wrecks a Lapp village, and makes like a puppy dog in heat for American figure skating champion Barbara Wilson. Carrying the gal in its arms, the beast takes Wilson to the spacecraft where she has a close encounter with the spacecraft's alien inhabitants...

Invasion of the Animal People (1962, 80 minutes): The much different, much altered U.S. version of the same film from schlockmeister supreme Jerry Warren (Teenage Zombies), who cut and re-edited the original, changed the plot, and added new shot-in-L.A. footage featuring John Carradine as host and narrator, in addition to lots of utterly pointless scenes including an unbilled bit by Warren regular Katherine Victor (The Wild World of Batwoman) that will positively make your head spin!

Product Description:

TERROR IN THE MIDNIGHT SUN: American figure-skater Barbara Wilson stars in this Swedish-American co-production, wherein a spaceship crashes above the Arctic Circle in Northern Sweden. When a group of geologists travel to the crash site, expecting to find a meteor, they discover instead a 10 foot tall furry, freaky, alien horror! The shaggy creature proceeds to act scary, destroy some villages, and tries to get down with the lovely Ms. Wilson. INVASION OF THE ANIMAL PEOPLE: A re-edited version of TERROR IN THE MIDNIGHT SUN, this also features additional footage with John Carradine and a slightly different plot.
