🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️
⁉️STING OF TRIVIA 🪼😱
Point
The "succession of unlikely events and robotic actors" are all filmed "in blazing color."
- Fred Beldin of Allmovie.com
Counterpoint
The blazing color is due to the "glare off the ocean [that] really lends itself to beautiful photography" and to "cameramen back then [who] believed in putting color in" as many shots as possible.

🦖MONSTERDON 🎞️ ⁉️STING OF TRIVIA 🪼😱 Hobart, the actor in the Jellyfish Man costume, said "The monster suit cost about $300 to make" and took about two weeks to complete. Film historian Bryan Senn points out "In fact, it looks just like what it really is—a man in a crusty, dirty wetsuit and flippers, with plastic cords hanging from his shoulders and a clear hefty bag inflated over his head." #Monsterdon #StingOfDeath #StingOfDeath1966
