It Is Just An Over-Sized Paper Mache Slug With A Man Inside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                     At least that is what it seems, from this photograph.



                                     Really, darlings, the only thing "The Monster That Challenged The World" challenged in me was my patience.  But there was one interesting thing about it.  Even when coming up from the water, the creature did not make a sound.  There was this scary scene, where is seems to walk--as a human--behind a guard out of nowhere and snap his head off.  Now, that was scary.  But the rest of this is just someone's concept gone wrong.

                                       The only time it made noise was when being wounded.


                                        Even with a cast like Tim Holt, Audrey Dalton, and Hans Conried, the film could not be saved.  If this did not end the era of giant bug movies, it certainly hastened it.


                                        Not the sort of thing one would want to decorate the house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. Victoria,
    Oh, not at all! Cucumbo was cute, and original. He made no noise, either, but had terrific screen presence. I keep hoping Svengoolie will show his movie.
