Sad Story to Scary Monster Story- Can't Watch It


I won't give away what the Ray Bradbury story, The Fog Horn was all about except to say it was a sad story with a monster in it. To me it was so wrong to take such a good and sad story like that and make one that is of a monster that is scary and deadly.

I had watched the movie several times and only learned much later as a grown up the story the film was based on. I hadn't remembered the movie much and tried watching it again. I just did not like it as it was so different than the Ray Bradbury short story.

Ray Bradbury helped to flesh out his short story because his best friend Ray Harryhausen was the special effects technician on the film.
