Posted on August 17, 2024

Tonight on MeTV- there’s big trouble surfacing from the deep blue sea- that can’t wait to get its arms around the general populace! It’s an early showcase for the amazing stop-action artistry of Ray Harryhausen , as San Francisco becomes the target of a giant creature- in case you were wondering- “It Came From Beneath the Sea”!

This 1955 science fiction classic begins with a nuclear submarine out on maneuvers in the Pacific Ocean- when it appears to be rammed by something, leaving it mostly disabled but still mobile enough to limp back to Pearl Harbor. Inspecting the sub’s workings, they find something disturbing- what appears to be tissue from some sort of living creature! Commander Pete Matthews is stunned by this discovery- and experts are sent for, to try and identify what exactly the tissue came from.
