I am watching this movie again for the podcast episode tonight. I saw it at the exact right age range (8-12 years old) and I loved it. The monsters were cool, if not exactly scary, and the plot was fun. I have become very interested in the promotional pressbook material for these movies. These were sent out before a movie was scheduled to be shown, and then were supposed to be destroyed or returned. This means some are quite rare. I had some facsimile sets, and a few originals, but I am glad people are getting them online these days.
I am also pondering an issue about this movie, or perhaps pairing it with another similar movie. I know it was on a double feature with Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster, which could be a fun double feature issue. There will be a lot of these items in the issue, though. There is a surprising amount of material from other countries as well. I miss having painted posters and lobby cards.
