the Monster that Challenged the World - a scientific explanation? :  assistant passes by Dr. Rogers (Hans Conried) and geiger reacts to marine secretion indicating a slightly higher radioactive level than water from salton sea. that implies ( at least in this movie) that U.S. Naval Research is using the salton sea for atomic testing. plausible, considering when the film was made. question to Dr Rogers, "where did they come from?"  his answer, "we don`t know. we can only guess." Rogers procedes to explain his theory of slightly radioactive salton sea water seeping down into pocket of the creature`s eggs.  he suggests that the radioactivity is condusive to the development of these eggs. (radiation, that magic ingredient) especially when you consider that these eggs from a prehistoric marine creature have been pocketed at the bottom of the salton sea for at least tens of thousands of years. (to be cont.)

(continued) Dr Rogers explains the creatures origin, "we believe that these giant creatures are of the same family as the historically documented kraken, the giant sea-beast that was the direct ancestor of the modern water mollusk." ???  as we all know, the kraken is an imaginary monster from greek mythology.  I guess Dr Rogers must consider greek mythology to be some kind of historical record.  I wonder who`s bright idea it was to conceptionalize the kraken as a mollusk.  the movie works because of the monsters appearance. they look like what they are suppose to be; prehistoric sea snails...or prehistoric marine gastropods or prehistoric marine snails or...

Which gets realy intresting, as the Krakan, if i recall correctly, is a member of the Squid family! ( Never got invited to partys, cause he always tenticled the guests wives, swam in the pitcher, ect...) So, Uncle Toonose used an example from another species, to describe the big catapillar thingy. That is Sooooo 50's.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
