The meteorite was unlike anything scientists had ever seen; it was warm, impossibly dense, and shimmered with a \u003cstrong\u003ecolor\u003c\/strong\u003e that defied the known spectrum--a pulsating hue that suggested an alien dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThough the meteorite disintegrated, its essence leached into the well water and the soil. The land began to change in terrifying ways: crops grew huge and luminous but were rotten inside; animals became strangely deformed and aggressive; and most horrifically, the Gardner family began a slow, irreversible descent into madness. One by one, they fall victim to the pervasive, unnameable influence, which drains the life, color, and sanity from every living thing it touches.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Colour Out of Space\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is widely considered \u003cstrong\u003eH.
