Kaiju Korner

In which a rather stoned-looking King Kong (put down the sleep inducing berries, man!!) gets to ride a bundle of hot air balloons across the sea and then summon a whole lot of lightning in order to kick Godzilla’s radioactive thunder thighs! King Kong vs Godzilla is exactly what Toho needed after the lukewarm ...

Mutated by the H-bomb one octopus takes its deformity into its own hands and attacks!!  That’s right, Kaiju Kravers, it’s time to ramp up those fears of a nuclear attack with It Came From Beneath the Sea!  ...

“Once they were men; now they are land crabs.” The late GREAT Roger Corman was not one to shy away from kaiju territory, no matter the ridiculousness of the story. His early B-movies are absolute marvels at what he was able to pull off on a dime-sized budget and that’s where we take things ...
