Show Notes

We explore the history of what many say is the worst Kaiju film of all time, the towering wreckage and dangling marionette of 1957’s The Giant Claw. This film on paper has all the hallmarks of a classic creature feature, but the execution leaves more than most to be desired.

Scream queen Mara Corday of Tarantula! and The Black Scorpion fame returns, and stars opposite Jeff Morrow. Is this film as bad as they say? Or does it cross over into the camp and schlock so-bad-its-good side of Kaiju cinema? Find out in this week’s episode of Kaiju Vs. History!
