Chas,<br><br>I know my memory is failing, so I don't mind being corrected about 'Castle of Frankenstein'. It's simply been too many years since I've read the...
The old monster magazine was a lot of fun in the days long before the advent of video. Somehow now after fifteen years of building a nice little library of...
I concur with the admiration for past effects masters over the computer geek FX seen in today's films.<br><br>I also feel this way about classic TV shows like ...
I just had to reply becuase you're absolutely right! Before video, one saw monster movies during the one week run at the local theatre...or missed the chance...
Why don't we come up with a sort of "awards" list and nominate the best movies, comics and so on to fit different categories? By "best", of course, I mean most...
Wonderful idea! I'll have to start thinking up some great categories. Lord knows there are enough films to fill them out there.<br><br>My first category is...
The award for "Slowest Ape in a Film" goes to Konga. I just finished watching this thing, and as wonky as it is the finale moves at the speed of frozen honey....
Charles,<br><br>Excellent choice for "Best Comic Book Monster;" although the Heap is little known now, I really see traces of him (or it) in DC's 'Swamp Thing'...
Dean,<br><br>Good point about the lack of speed on Konga's part. I re-watched that film a few weeks back, and I'd say the average mummy could limp circles...
No, no! It HAS to bee that giant pickle from (I believe) "It Conquered the World", the huge triangular vegetable living in a cave which tipped over when it was...
Just watched "The Black Scorpion" again and I was struck by just how annoying and downright foolish little "Juanito" is in this flick. The boy does not do...
You make a good case. I may have to hand over the award to this "classic" bit of film. Lee Van Cleef is just so earnest and Peter Graves lacks even a little ...
Welcome Wbeath to the Sons of Kong. Feel free to participate and let us know what monsters (giant or otherwise) make you shudder or laugh.<br><br>Welcome...
Do you remember "Dinosaurus"? With the little kid hero of the story? I remember sympathising with hi8m as a young boy myself because the kid obviously loved...
I haven't seen "Dinosaurus". But you did remind me of that Godzilla film which is really a kid's fantasy life. What is it called, "Godzilla's Revenge"? I hated...
Maybe I'm strange but I really liked the kid in BLACK SCORPION. <br>Now as to the kid in the original THE BLOB....that was one irritating creepy little...
I too hated some of the obviously more juvenile Godzilla (and his ilk) films of the 60s! At the time I was a young teen and you know how seriously they need to...
I had forgotten about the boy in "The Blob". He's a pain, but I still have to give the award to "little Juanito" for sheer persistance. He really worked hard...
The mention of mighty "Mothra" (maybe my fave Japanese monster) brings to mind the little girls who sing that truly irritating song that calls forth old ...
I'm sorry, but you MUST split your award into non-Japanese and Japanese categories for Most Irritating Kid. ANY of those annoying snots from the 60's/70's...
DC had such a fascination with gorilla, giant and otherwise, that I'm not nominating Kingorilla for a SOK award as there is probably yet another even lamer...
I thought the cover was pretty dynamic. If I had bought this comic to see the ballyhooed combat between Superboy and Kingorilla and all I got was two pages I ...
Now when I say funny, I don't mean intentionally funny like say "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein", I mean unintentionally funny like "Teenage ...
I agree! Although it would be hard to come up with THE (single) funniest movie monster! There have been quite a few. As runners up I submit the rubber octopus...
Whoops! I'm changing my vote. It is the bird from "The Giant Claw". What a beast! Don't you love it when he closes in on those teenagers. <br><br>That movie ...
naahh,<br>IMHO the funniest looking monster that I remember seeing in a movie on t.v as a kid, was Tabanga the tree monster in FROM HELL IT CAME(1957),<br>the...
boy, so many... err ummm "good movies" have been mentioned!! indeed the tree monster is shabby looking in "from hell it came", and the kong suit in " godzilla ...
IT CONQUERED THE WORLD(1956)<br>another Paul Blaisdell creation.<br>He also did the saucermen from INVASION OF THE SAUCERMEN(1957).<br>also THE SHE ...
