The Monster That Challenged the World
Giants Mollusks are released from the earth by an earthquake and start killing people.
From the archive
An earthquake in the Salton Sea unleashes a horde of prehistoric mollusk monsters. Discovering the creatures, a Naval officer (Tim Holt) and several scientists (Hans Conried, Max Showalter) attempt to stop the monsters, but they escape into the canal system of the California's Imperial Valley and terrorize the populace, including Audrey Dalton and Barbara Darrow. I colorized this using AI software that doesn't always get the colors right, but I think it looks fairly natural. Hopefully a more professional job will be done someday.
