Assuming I'm right about yesterday's movie, these are from the same flick.

OK, I *think* I know what this is.

Long time Jabootu correspondent Zombiewhacker sent met a bunch of mystery stills. Go at it, everyone.

Here's the beastie from the end of the movie; it's supposed to be a giant spider, but is the head at least was clearly designed to be that of a giant ant. This movie was made in 1943, ten years before Them!, so I have no idea what that ant would have been fabricated…

This is certainly one of the lamer killer plants I can remember, although, hey, killer plant. Even Tarzan can't free himself, so in a cool Tarzan-y scene, he calls his elephant compadres to come pull him free with their trunks. Now that would have been a cool end to Navy vs. the Night Monsters.…

I posted a brief look at this movie a while back, so the pics have appeared here, but not as MotDs. Here we see Tarzan (Johnny Weissmuller again, who also appeared as Jungle Jim in the previously), looking on at a rarescreen projection of the MUCH-reused 'dinosaur' fight from One Million B.C.

This is from the same movie the hippo shot last Friday came from. The suit looks pretty shoddy, but the make-up is actually pretty good for a film with this budget. Here's a publicity still I found giving us another (perhaps too) good look at the monster.

OK, I'm pushing the 'monster' thing a bit, but c'mon, look at that thing, it's awesome.

We've seen some of the earliest stop-motion dinosaurs this week. This is one of the earliest slurpasaurs. Amazing to think this sort of thing remained in use through the '60s, and in some fairly big budget movies.
