I was thinking about reused special effects in films. The Body Stealers from 1969 has the flying saucer from Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. (1966) What other films have reused special effects, or sets, or even other things like scripts? Oh, and Carry On Cleo reused costumes from Cleopatra. Does that count? Sid James looked like a shopworn Richard Burton. Now there was a man. What a voice! Patrick Allen in The Body Stealers was all man too.
I don't have online photo hosting, so any photos would be appreciated.

And if e'er you should come down to the village or the town, With the cold rain for your garland, and the wind for your renown, You will stand upon the thresholds with a face of dumb desire, Nor be known by any fire. What would you see in your proud land, Petrarch, If you came back again to Italy, And in the Garden of the Medici Could listen to the nightingale or lark And dream of Laura in the fragrent dark?

The Amicus severed hand famously turned up a few times - Tales From The Crypt, And Now the Screaming Starts, probably more.
	From the first, I set myself against "literature"; the story was the thing, and no amount of style could persuade me to select a story that lacked genuine, unadulterated horror. For those who wanted something high-brow there was plenty. - Christine Campbell Thomson

Carry on Cleo used sets and costumes originally intended for the Burton-Taylor epic Cleopatra.

this could have happened only a very long time ago and before the 1970, after which the Soviets in terms of special effects was stuck in the 50s, at the level of Z-movies

it is not at all a shame to get into the hands of Curtis Harrington, especially since it turned out more fun
