#The Beast From 20000 Fathoms

“1950s horror movies contrast radically with their 1940s predecessors. understandably – they were reflecting a whole new world. audiences wanted stories that connected directly to their lives, to the ever-expanding technology in their homes and workplaces. they also wanted horror movies that played to their fears – stoked by politicians – of the shadows that lay beyond their immediate, personal experience of the shiny american dream (applies to some of these movies).”

Godzilla versus the monster that inspired him, the Rhedosaurus from The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms (1953), by Matt Frank.

This is a match-up I'd like to see on film, either set in the 1950s world of both original films, or in the world of Godzilla Minus One.

-RHEDOSAURUS-

A mutated Rhynchocephalian that first appeared in New York back in 1956, where a big female and a pair of smaller males rampaged trough the city, after their death, their blood quickly spred an ancient pathogen, causing an epidemic that lasted over 6 years.

Male and Female here in case you want to see them individually

Set the earlier poll only for a day, oops. Sorry everyone. Take 2!

Polling the kaiju fandoms, yet again. Alright now. Which kaiju fandoms are you in? If you're in multiple, pick the one you're most involved in, or the "more than one of these" or "all of these" option.

Please remember to reblog so this reaches a wider audience!

31 Days of Horror: The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms.

A different sort of monster story of unrequited love by Ray Bradbury with illustrations by James R. Bingham. Originally published in The Saturday Evening Post (June 23, 1951) .

The story was later collected in anthologies under the new title The Fog Horn to distance it from the 1953 monster movie. The film producers bought the rights from Bradbury and used the Post illustration by Bingham as a basis for the creature.

The comic book industry also adapted a slightly changed story in a 1953 issue of Tales of Horror without crediting Bradbury.

The Beast from the Deep! Published in Tales of Horror #7 (October 1953). Popularly credited to Ray Bradbury (An unknown author scripted the comic) with art by Howard Rosenberger.
