I was one of the youngsters who saw this film in the theater in 3D when released in 1953. Remember, this was before VHS, DVD and all the "modern" FX stuff. It was during a time when we children were still ducking under the school desks for "atom bomb" attack drills!

This was great frightening stuff - AT THAT TIME; to us who were there, it still is very good film making.

1953 was the same year that gave us:

INVADERS FROM MARS
THE MAGNETIC MONSTERS
ROBOT MONSTER
