32 Days of Halloween X, Day 31: Tentacles!

Tentacles (1977)

For the 31st day of our madness, we’ve decided to go out with the potential for some seriously lethal hugs. It’s the 1977 flick Tentacles, and the notion of a killer octopus reminds me of course of It Came from Beneath the Sea. And of course that film makes me think Harryhausen. So let’s start off with a short bit of Harryhausen lore, from his work on Mysterious Island.

It’s an impressive cast that is having to deal with octo-horror: John Huston, Shelley Winters, Bo Hopkins, Henry Fonda and Claude Akins. It’s interesting to note that the producer felt the need to direct the film under a similar alias. Odd, that. Regardless, enjoy.
