TAKE ONE LAST TRIP INTO THE UNKNOWN FOR THE ULTIMATE GIANT INSECT MOVIE, THE ULTIMATE GIANT MAN IN A DIAPER MOVIE, AND THE, UM, ULTIMATE KILLER ROCK MOVIE…
Welcome to the final part of Gabe and Patrick’s look back at the biggest year in giant monster movie history. This episode features the most eclectic collection of movies, including a shoestring ‘lost world’ epic in Virgil W. Vogel’s The Land Unknown, Edward Ludwig’s absolutely incredible Black Scorpion, Bert I. Gordon’s second giant bald guy movie of the year, The Amazing Colossal Man, John Sherwood’s uniquely eerie The Monolith Monsters, and the only real kaiju movie released in 1957, Ishirō Honda’s The Mysterians.
Remember to also check out part one, which covers Nathan H. Juran’s 20 Million Miles to Earth, Roger Corman’s Attack of the Crab Monsters, Jack Arnold’s The Incredible Shrinking Man, and Kurt Neumann’s Kronos, as well as part two, which covers Nathan H. Juran’s The Deadly Mantis, Kenneth G. Crane’s The Monster from Green Hell, Fred F. Sears’ The Giant Claw, Arnold Laven’s The Monster that Challenged the World, and Gordon’s The Beginning of the End and The Cyclops.
