Well, looks like somebody wasn’t happy with Doctor Doolittle.*

    “It’s coming. Walk!”
    Ya know, snails are like rabbits…sure, logic says if they get big as well as aggressive, they are dangerous…but over coming the urge to say ‘Giant killer snails…you’re kidding, right?’ is the monsters best weapon.

    I’m not sure I want to know what the original intent of the experiment was. Were the French breeding a larger version of escargot on a Pacific island when atomic fallout caused it all to go horribly wrong?

    “Vite, Henri, Le Flit!”

    Besides a giant snail, what the heck is going on here? We have a family of divers, having a picnic at night, and they do not bother to take of their wetsuits, flippers, and tanks before digging into the victuals.

    Maybe it’s Black Manta and his family?

    Not a big turnout for The Legion of Doom family picnic.

    Hummm…at bottom right, in small print,’By the estate of Boris Karloff’. So what did they get paid me wonders?

  • bgbear_rnh

    did it go into a living dead trust?

    Also, no matter how big they get, where’d the teeth come from, huh?

  • bgbear_rnh

    well maybe not the hung fangs like that but, snails do have teeth.

  • Gamera977

    I think they have some sort of rasp like tongue, I’ll have to look it up. Sounds more horrible than fangs to me.

  • bgbear_rnh

    agreed, be bitten to death by a lion sounds better than being ground to death on a cheese grater.

  • Flangepart

    That fits the ‘slug film’…which sounds right, now I think it…from THE MONSTER THAT CHALLENGED THE WORLD. You know, the one narrated by Uncle Tanoose?

  • Rodford Smith

    Is that Escargantua from near the end of _Monsters vs. Aliens_?

    This thing has fangs like the slugs in Slugs.

    Slugs and snails have what’s called a radula, which is basically a tongue with teeth all over it that they use to grind and scrape bits of food off of whatever they’re eating. Some carnivorous ones have larger teeth they use to seize prey. Occasionally their teeth are venomous, as in cone snails.
