I saw THE GIANT CLAW in 1957(I think).

Besides the goofy looking bird, I remember seeing the strings that held it up. It was a puppet like Howdy Doody, but looked more like Clara Belle the Clown. Talk about dating myself. Whoa!

the giant claw…one of the movies where people laughed at the monster when it finally appeared.from what i remember they did a good job building up suspense and then the critter appeared and ruined it.i always thought it reminded me of the goony bird nicknack that bobbed up and down dipping it’s beak into a glass of colored water.

Snowbeast! I loved that flick.I was a kid when it was shown on British T.V.Snowbeast along with the Legend Of Boggy creek are completly responsable for my interest in things Crypto!

I remember “The Giant Claw” as a child of the 60s. It wasn’t that old of a movie then (Sheesh… I am dating myself). I remember another from the 70’s or 80’s called “Snowbeast” that was about a bigfoot who discovered a taste for human flesh.
Ahhh….nothing like those campy B flicks.

Good Morning Cryptos…

“La coocaroo…la coocaroo”….I remember the first time I saw the “Giant Claw” I was about 10 and had to walk home in the dark afterwards….the earlier “Beast from Hollow Mountain” scared me much more…the ABSM was about to become an icon….speaking of Abominable was abominable…IMHO

seeing is believing….

Tabitca, you’re probably referring to THEM! It was, I believe, the best of the monster films of the ’50s/’60s. It actually had a decent budget, a respectable script, and some solid, if unspectactular, acting. I have it on DVD and have watched it numerous times.

The birds face is hysterically funny. I love these old movies. Can anyone remember one about giant Ants? (Or did I imagine that one.)
