Further to the recent posts on movie monsters here is The Trollenberg Terror (released in the United States as The Crawling Eye) from 1958. It was based on the BBC TV show from 1956 which my parents allowed me to stay up late to watch.
I haven't seen the movie in many years, I remember a mountain top building, the creature and a cable car so have cobbled them together for this shot. The idea was inspired by finding a strange shaped toy octopus that looked more like The Terror!

A favourite old movie and a cool recreation, Brian.
ReplyDeleteMarvelous invocation of one of my favorite monster movies - what a creature!
ReplyDeleteParents were more fun in the Fifties!
ReplyDeleteThat octopus just stole my heart! Nice diorama too. Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteGood use for that old MPC Octo!
ReplyDeleteIve never actually seen Trollenberg all the way through, as I saw a clip of the eye itself when I was about 6 and it took years off my life! Then I saw Quatermass Xperiment a few years later and that was it! I am officially stunted! Bill
ReplyDeleteA great monster, and a great scene.
