The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (1953)

May 26, 1999Atomically-Revived Dinosaur
A classic of the genre for a number of reason - it was the film that kicked off the 1950s fad for atomic monsters, featuring an archetypal story about a dinosaur brought back to life by atomic tests. It also featured among the very first screen credits for both Ray Bradbury and stop-motion animator Ray Harryhausen
