	DaiKaiju Island
		Fans the world over are still awaiting a second brawl between the King of the Monsters and the mighty Kong.
		Depending on the timeline, Gamera is a giant terrapin that rested under an iceberg until it was destroyed by a crashing plane that carried nuclear weapons, or in an alternate timeline, the continent of Atlantis created him to do battle with the Gyaos, an atrocious reptilian vampire bat.
		Gamera is the star of 10 movies, and is the number one header up of Godzilla.

	Monster (2003) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Making her writing/directing debut with `Monster' is Patty Jenkins, and she has chosen for herself a difficult subject to translate to the screen.
		I say almost because `Monster' is a film with a goal to shed a different light on someone who we assume was cold-blooded and thoughtless in her every action.
		`Monster' is convincing when it digs deep into the psyche of the killer and tries to line up plausible pathways to understand where this violent behavior was born.

	Movies 'n Stuff
		Monster Movies started in the early 1900’s actually with the 1912 La Conquete du Pole or The Conquest of the Pole, which featured French comic writer Georges Melie’s Ice Monster and shocked and surprised audiences.
		The audiences that loved monster movies, mostly children and teens were drawn to war/action films of the early to mid 40’s.
		The monster movies boom slowly declined and what used to be a production rate of five and up monster movies before the war dropped to one or two monster movies a year, and those got low box office success.

		By today's standards the monsters probably seem clumsy and pretty fake, but in that time it seemed to be so simple to suspend your beliefs and let your imagination roam.
		With many of these movies, the special effects used was the best available, but the real key to the enjoyment of the movies was not the effects so much as it was the suspense, and the ability to generate that pleasant, shivery feeling.
		In addition, as with the 50s movies, man rather than beast is the true culprit, this time the scientists messed with DNA rather than the atom.

	Almost Monster Movies
		There are a lot of giant monster movies, but also a lot of movies that feature giant monsters and yet are not themselves giant monster movies.
		Does not make it a giant monster movie though, because that five-minute cameo is the only giant monster part of the movie.
		Most of the thing seems to be an anti-drug movie, which makes sense during a time when not only where kids told not to do drugs, but to go right ahead and watch rated R movies.

		Elsa only had one line in the movie as the monster's bride (she also played Mary Shelley at the beginning) and that was "eeeekkk!" She screamed when she saw the original monster, she screamed when she saw Dr. Frankenstein and she certainly screamed when she saw herself having a bad hair day.
		I think this marks a turning point at Universal; from here on their monster movies were something along the line of "The Three Stooges Meet Dracula at Frankenstein's Pad to Kick the Mad Scientists Ass." All good things must come to an end.
		The Wolf Man marked the end of the classic Universal monsters for more than 10 years when a new monster appeared that was every bit as good as their old ones.

	08/31/00: How come there are no more monster horror movies? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		One werewolf movie ("American Werewolf in Paris") and two vampire movies ("Vampires" and "Blade" - although the latter isn't really part of the horror genre) were also thrown into the mix, as well as a Stephen King adaptation ("Apt Pupil").
		At the same time, we started getting slightly close to the monster movie revival when they started releasing movies of the "when animals attack" genre, boosted with the unexplained success of "Anaconda": "Mimic", "Bats", "Deep Rising", "Deep Blue Sea", "Lake Placid", etc. Some never made it to the big screen, others were interrupted in mid-production.
		Then there were several attempts at making mummy movies, but only one made it to the big screen, a remake of "The Mummy", and it was transformed into an adventure movie.

	DON GLUT'S CLASSIC MONSTER MOVIES
		“Many of the amateur horror movies I made as a kid in Chicago in the 1950s were patterned after the horror pictures made during the 1930s and ‘40s by Universal Pictures and during the late 1950s by Hammer Films.
		I had seen some of the Universal movies in neighborhood theaters (as Realart reissues) or on local TV’s Shock Theater (as part of Screen Gems’ ‘Shock’ package of films), introduced by horror host Marvin (Terry Bennett).
		I played the Monster wearing a standard over-the-head Don Post ‘custom’ Frankenstein Monster mask (which sold back then for a whopping $3.50) and my friend Victor Fabian was Dracula.

		08-09-2004 12:48 PM I agree that a good monster movie is hard to find (monster being a physically unique creature as opposed to simply a person-regardless of the level of power he/she has- with monsterous intent).
		What works in the best monster movies are the characters that interact (i.e.
		Neat monsters, make-up, effects and a clever story are all very good but it's the characters that will really propel a decent monster movie from 'meh' to 'cool'.

		Still, the question in Party Monster is whether the two anti-heroes' not-niceness is sturdy enough to hang a tale upon.
		Party Monster has a good deal in common with Stephen Frears' biopic of Joe Orton, Prick Up Your Ears, but the artistic legacy of Michael Alig isn't as durable as What the Butler Saw or Loot.

		That alien is, hands-down, the most terrifying monster in movie history.
		The special effects—featuring the brilliant stop-motion photography of Willis O'Brien—were absolutely stunning for their day, and movie audiences actually ran screaming out of theaters because it was so realistic and frightening.
		This movie's big star is the otherworldly Predator, a monster that can go virtually invisible to sneak up on its prey—human beings—before its lethal attack.

		Those were the days before companies like Castle Films included 'science fiction' movies in their catalogs and decades before videotape, laser discs and DVD made owning such movies possible and even practical.
		My Father and Mother had been taking movies of the family since about 1940, and so I'd become accustomed to filming and editing and projecting at a very early age.
		I had many jobs in the making of these movies -- writer, director, make-up artist, special effects person, stuntman, prop builder and cameraman (when I wasn’t doing something in front of the camera).

		American wise, I consider nearly every Harryhausen movies with giant monsters to be awesome (The beast from 20 000 fathoms, 20 Million Miles to Earth, It came from beneath the sea, Mighty Joe Young, etc), and then, there's his master's works, Willis O'Brien (Son of Kong, the fl scorpion, etc).
		I didn't consider the first Jaws a giant monster movie, but if it is, sure, easily one of my fave.

	Boston.com / A&E / Movies / The return of the monster movies
		If you coolly regard the just-released "Monster Legacy Collections" as Universal's attempt to cash in on their new creature-feature update "Van Helsing," you're right to do so.
		Consider, for one thing, that the studio hasn't had its monster classics in print on DVD for some time.
		The collections also include some not-so-classic past attempts to mash the monsters into one story, a la "Van Helsing." Check them out and see if those cynical feelings about the new movie don't fade away like the Wolf Man's little electrolysis problem at sunup.

	Wired 12.10: We've Created a Monster!
		We saw it in the first three minutes!" Cannella longed for the type of monster movie he'd grown up with, the low-budget screamer with a twisted sense of humor, plenty of creature action, and, in the best examples, a subversive subtext.
		Audiences are attracted to the Sci Fi Channel's Saturday night monster movies not because they're idiots, or because they smoke too much marijuana, but because at the end of a long week they enjoy a free pass to follow a bit of random anxiety to its most gloriously paranoid conclusion - and laugh.
		The failure of independently produced features to give ample air time to monsters was what drove the Sci Fi Channel to make its own movies in the first place, and the need for frequent shots of the creature remains an article of faith.
