I remember that I watched this movie as a kid, probably in the late 70's - early 80's. I think it was a black and white movie. I believe the story revolved around an outbreak of creatures that were roughly 1-2 feet in diameter, would cling to walls and ceilings, and their touch would kill.

They reminded me very much of some aliens from an old Star Trek: TOS episode, but these may have been lab created rather than aliens.

I do remember there was one scene where some of the main characters were trying to move through a house with these creatures covering just about every surface. Being an old movie, there wasn't much in the way of special effects for the creatures. From what I remember they looked pretty much like pieces of plastic, and they may have quivered slightly. I don't remember for sure if they were mobile, but I believe they could either drop from heights or crawl extremely slowly.

This is a long shot, but maybe you're thinking of "The Brain Eaters"?

I found a description with a few images, and a much longer plot summary (also with some images).

  • That looks and sounds very close to what I remember. Neither of the sources you listed mention the house scene, but it is entirely possible that I'm conflating two or more movies.

Could it be "Without Warning"?

It had disc like aliens that clung to people and killed them. Here's a video:

    Good shot of the alien if you move to 31m30s

  • The movie I'm thinking of is much older than that, but good find!

You might be thinking of the low-budget Roger Corman horror movie "It Conquered the World" (with Peter Graves!) or its even lower-budget remake, "Zontar: The Thing From Venus": an alien master-mind from another world tries to conquer the world with vaguely bat-like "mind-control pods", and the only thing that can stop him is square-jawed wooden scientist action.
