Attack of the Crab Monsters (1957)

Allied Artists

Roger Corman was a master of inexpensive creature features — in the terrific 2013 book Crab Monsters, Teenage Cavemen, and Candy Stripe Nurses: Roger Corman: King of the B Movie, author Chris Nashawaty shares Albert Ruddy’s account of how Corman once gave him a budget of $50 to create a monster for the movie The Beast With a Million Eyes.

He ended up combining an aluminum mop, a syringe, and slimy green paint to create the creature.

Ruddy’s ingenuity would lead to a long and fruitful career that included producing The Godfather, arguably the greatest movie ever made.
