Written By: Ken HulseyOkay here is another topic that I had been talking about on Facebook. Is it my imagination or do all the promo photos from the 1957 movie "The Monster That Challenged The World" look like worm on woman intercourse?
Really! Look at the photo on the left and tell me what comes to mind? Be honest!
If that doesn't look like monster rape I don't know what does?
Then again .... maybe she consented?
Anyway .... pretty racy stuff for the 1950s.
Actually I had never seen the movie until last week and I honestly thought it was one of the better monster movies from that era.
I'll post a better review in the next few weeks .... I promise.
Here is the info:
The Monster That Challenged the World (1957) is a science-fiction monster movie, about an army of giant mollusks that emerge from the Salton Sea, California. Directed by Arnold Laven, the film starred Tim Holt and Audrey Dalton.
It was produced by Gramercy Pictures (not related to the former PolyGram division) and released by United Artists. The film is currently available on DVD as part of UA sister Metro-Goldwyn Mayer's Midnight Movies collection.
An earthquake has led to the hatching of eggs belonging to a prehistoric mollusk. The hatchlings emerge from the Salton Sea, escape into an underground aquifer, and proceed to terrorize the citizens of California's Imperial Valley. The navy is called in to battle these monsters. Navy Lieutenant Commander John Twillinger (Holt), teams up with several scientists to battle the threat.Here are a couple more of the scandalous photos:
