WE FOUGHT THE INTERPLANETARY LAW AND THE INTERPLANETARY LAW WON
The arrival of Gort. Intergalactic law enforcer and all round bad ass. A seminal moment in a great classic played out to the electronic sound of Bernard Hermann's haunting score.
A classic horror movie that, even though it only lasted an hour, scared the heebiejeebies out of me when I was 10. A love of mad scientists and their laboratories crackling with all kinds of pre-steampunk gizmos arcing electricity and magic was born.
