Not much to work with. I only remember a single scene. What appears to be space soldiers standing outside a room. A sliding door opens to the room which is completely filled with tentacles hanging from the ceiling. The tentacles grab one of the men and drag him inside on the floor. A few seconds later, his body comes sliding out with a huge hole burned (or eaten?) straight through his chest.
When did you see this? There is a similar scene in episode “Dragon’s Domain” of the sci-fi series “Space 1999”:

You can watch the scene on YouTube here:

The tentacled monster sucks the man in, then spits out the skeleton.
Wow. That’s the one! Funny how the mind plays tricks on the small details after 44 years (imagine watching this as a child when it first aired). The strange thing is I own every episode of that show today, but haven’t gone back and watched them all. Thanks, Casspir, for remembering the details enough to match this up to my description. We can call this one SOLVED. Hope I can return the favor for someone else here.
I still vividly remember this scene, I saw this when I was a kid in the 80’s and it scared the shit out of me back then. When I read your description, I immediately thought of this scene. Thanks for following up and letting us know that it was the right answer. 🙂
Solved!
Again, I’m shocked someone knew this. I have been thinking about this for literally DECADES! A bit embarrassed, too, as I am a huge scifi nut. Every few years I would initiate a search online, but found nothing. If only I had just gone back and re-watched the show, instead of just collecting it (including season 3 unaired & fan eps)! I was 5 years old when I saw this in 1975. My parents must have been upstairs or something. Chilling. No wonder it stayed with me all these years. You guys are awesome. Thanks, Casspir.
You are most welcome. 🙂
