Monster of the Day #554

Notice the land octopus is the one who looks scared here, and I don’t blame him. If I saw that psycho running around with a shotgun and butcher’s knife, I’d be trying to shield myself too. The last time I saw a guy looking like that he was trying to kill Reid Fleming.

    That guy looks awfully mad at that knife but shouldn’t he be warry of ricochets if he tries shooting it that close?

    Yeah, he IS kinda looking at the wrong thing. And…just how does that octo get close enough to grab anyone. What is the land speed record of your average land octo?

    Mmm, that’s good ooze

    Well, I did have octopus for supper Friday night. Took awhile to prepare so there was some joking about the chef having to go whack the octopus and wrestle it into the pot. If only the two humans here were Korean it might resemble that scene.

    Yeah, I know one day a giant octopus will strangle and eat me, screaming ‘payback’s a #@$%@ human!!!’

  • Ericb

    Someone should check that octopus for PED. He looks a bit roided up.

  • If THE CREEPING UNKNOWN were a 30’s creation…. It looks like it’s part bear.

    Ya know, according to the book about Eji Sururabya (SP?) They used five octos for the octo scene in King Kong Vs. Godzilla.
    When they were done filming, they let four of them to back to the sea.
    They ate the fifth one.
    Must have been the best actor of the bunch.
    Well…that’s show biz…

    Odd they made the Ooze look like an octopus when in the story it’s an overgrown amoeba. This was apparently the very first ‘killer blob’ story.
