The Monster That Challenged the World really is a nice little atomic-age horror flick. Engaging and generally well done, especially considering how badly the concept of a six foot-tall mollusk could turn out. I've been meaning to rewatch it since it's been awhile. I'll definitely pay closer attention to the score when I do.
A recommended addition to anybody's horror flick lineup this October.

Very well-put, James. I just did a sci-fi convention in Burbank (Monsterpalooza), and so many of our customers are much younger than the audience who grew up on those movies. They don't just like the music, they love the movies, too. Many learned to appreciate that vintage of cinema from their parents, and even though they know the special effects aren't close to state of the art CGI, they recognize the superb writing, direction, composing, acting, and ingenuity that went into so many of those "classic" movies. So many of hose movies already have a life of 50 - 60 years, and it's way too early to guess how many films made in the 1980s and later will have the same appeal.
