Terror Is a Man (also known as Blood Creature, Creature from Blood Island, Island of Terror and Gore Creature) is a 1959 black-and-white Filipino/American horror film directed by Gerardo de Leon. The film's art director was Vicente Bonus, with special effects by Hilario Santos and makeup by Remedios Amazon.

The film is the first in the Blood Island series produced by Eddie Romero and Kane W. Lynn, which also included Brides of Blood (1966), The Mad Doctor of Blood Island (1969) and Beast of Blood (1970). All four films are set on Blood Island, named for its vivid red-hued sunsets.

The film's plot concerns a shipwreck survivor washed ashore on a small island where a scientist is experimenting on a panther to make it human.
