As they fight their way across the island in a desperate bid for survival, blood-stained death strikes indiscriminately from above and below. And pursuing them relentlessly is a gargantuan force of nature that knows no master - and no mercy!

Little Shop Of Horrors The Journal of Classic British Horror Films Issue #52, Celebrating 53 Years With Gorgo
In 1961, mama Gorgo (Orga) tore London apart while going to save Gorgo Junior. For film goers of that period, it was a gorgeous, colorful, knockout. For M-G-M, and particularly the King brothers, (or as they were originally known – the Kozinsky brothers) Maury, Frank and Hymie, it was a successful trip into the ‘man-in-a-suit-asaurus’ realm that Toho had instigated with their original Godzilla.
In our massive (270 full size pages/over 625 rare high quality black & white and color images) study of the film, you’ll learn all the inside info on how it came to be. Not just from the previous Eugene Lourie articles with Paul Mandell, or Lourie’s auto-bio, but lots of never seen or read production information and comments/stories from crew members.
AND, you’ll have the fascinating, full story of the King/Kozinsky Bros., from their early ‘slightly’ gangster- like businesses, to very successful independent movie producers (Dillinger. Gun Crazy. The Brave One (Academy Award © winner). In the movie Trumbo, John Goodman plays Frank King to perfection.
Stephen R. Bissette on the Gorgo (Konga & Reptilicus) Charlton comic books. Lee Kaplan writes about the models and toys based on Gorgo.
