Quiz
The magazine and story told in this movie are real and true. When Dr. Jess Rodgers (Hans Conried) is explaining how it is possible that the Monsters came into existence suddenly in the Salton Sea, he shows a Life Magazine dated October 17, 1955. This magazine actually had an article about fresh-water shrimp that suddenly appeared in a once-dry Mojave desert lake. David Duncan had read the article when it was first published and used it as the basis for his screenplay.

Blooper
Despite the divers going deeper and deeper (from 65 to 125+ feet), the amount of light underwater never diminishes; in fact, it actually gets brighter.

On the A-list of B pictures

Of course The Monster That Challenged the World is slowly paced. With a budget of about twenty dollars there's a lot of filler. But what little budget there is, is well used in creating a great animatronic monster.

The story is basic but well-structured and it works. I can watch this one over and over without wanting to throw things at the screen or yell at the characters for doing stupid things. My intelligence is more seriously insulted by modern horror films and their idiot protagonists than it ever is by The Monster That Challenged the World.

Among low-budget sci-fi flicks of the 1950s, The Monster That Challenged the World ranks near the top!
