Mid-50s sci-fi movie in which one of the creatures flutters through the air and lands on victims heads and encloses it with its body

Question

Does anyone know the name of a movie in which one of the creatures flutters through the air and lands on victims heads and encloses it with its body?

@closevoters - I'm confused as to why this is VTC'ed. Information please? — user112267, Commented Dec 8, 2019 at 20:00
Sure it was a movie and not an Outer Limits episode. Wait a minute, I think the movie "Not of this Earth" had a scene like that. — Emsley Wyatt, Commented Dec 8, 2019 at 20:36
A bit later than the 50's, but given the vagueness of the question, are you thinking of these guys from Beastmaster: youtube.com/watch?v=-SegQXGEGKw? — Vanguard3000, Commented Dec 8, 2019 at 23:49
The encloses it with its body reminds me of the Creeper from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeepers_Creepers_2 — Volker Landgraf, Commented Dec 9, 2019 at 0:26

OK, I've quick searched "Not of this Earth". It's on YouTube and the scene in question starts at 59:30.

My answer is 50's era. Not sure about "The Creeper". (The only Creeper I know was the 60's Ditko Comic.

i mean the creature looks like the membraneous frills of The Creeper from Jeepers Creepers.

Nice work! I had the mental image of the scene in the film, but couldn't locate it.

In case that Youtube video goes down, the relevant scene can be viewed in GIF form in a previous answer I contributed.
