Special effects were hard to pull off in the 50s.

I think budgets must have had a lot to do with it too. The effects in the '33 King Kong were impressive at the time, but most sci-fi B movies of the 50s didn't get near that.

Definitely another one crying for a remake though.

The arm looks so totally out of place.

I wish he had grab the naked bathtube chick instead, I know I would!
But even today, that would be too much to ask, let alone in the 50's.

I feel Dr. Cyclops needs to be remade more.

"Attack of the Puppet People" would be a good one too. Or a new series like "Dr. Shrinker". "The Devil Doll" was not high on my list.

I had the biggest crush (pardon the pun) on B.J. Masterson (Susan Lawrence) in Dr. Shrinker.

Oh, I had a huge crush on BJ too. She was so pretty. B.J. and Jessica Lange in 76 King Kong were probably my first SW experiences.

I loved B.J. 's charactor.....cocky, then when SHTF, it was like "Oh, Shit". And Jessica's performance in KK76 was so underrated. She was far more believable than Naomi in the remake.

Not too many quality images of BJ to manipulate, but this one kind of worked after a little effort (probably a repost of mine, but wth)

Yeah, I can't find any decent pictures of her, but this one has a nice vintage look so it works.
