    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Inside the "It" costume was actor, stuntman and frequent gorilla performer Ray "Crash" Corrigan (Ray Corrigan). This would be Corrigan's final role, ending a film career of over 25 years, as he retired from acting.
    • Goofs
      Van Heusen opens the reactor shield to try to kill the monster, but it smashes through the door to escape. He doesn't reseal the shield, though. The adjoining space, the one with the man with the broken leg, should have been flooded with deadly radiation ("enough to kill a hundred men" as Van Heusen notes).
    • Quotes
      • Lt. James Calder: Mars is almost as big as Texas. Maybe it's got monsters.
