One of the many things I love about this film is how it gives the minor characters brief hints of individuality, like the coroner with sandwiches, the switchboard operator constantly on the line with her mother, the woman whose daughter wants the freedom to grow up, the Mexican kid with his coloured pens, the archivist with his Proposition to expand the site.... I also love how the film's protagonists actually make sensible decisions: they close the beaches, patrol the area, set up a plan to monitor the canal system. When things go wrong, it's not because these people are idiots, but because they don't know obscure details of the local landscape.

Yeah, this has always been one of my favorite movie monsters of all time. Just check out the shape of the head when he rears up during the scene by the boat. I don't know if it would be "animatronic" as we know the term today; it was purely mechanical, probably operated by puppeteers with cables. For something similar, check out the lake dragon in the '60s sword n' sandal flicks "Medusa against the Son of Hercules", or the sea monster in "Hercules and the Princess of Troy"; both done by Carlo Rambaldi, who worked on 1976 "King Kong" and its sequel, "Alien", "E.T.", "Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind", "Dune", "Conan the Destroyer" and Stephen King's "Cat's Eye" and "Silver Bullet" among others.

I still don't understand why they used a caterpillar-inspired monster design to figure a prehistoric snail.

[@KarlBunker]

Now that you mention it, this "snail" does look a lot like the caterpillar-form of Mothra. But it came out in '57, vs. '61 for Mothra, so there goes my theory that they borrowed parts of the monster puppet from Toho Studios.

[@varanid9]

Either A) A snail was too plain looking, or B) too gooey to be convincingly created with the tech of the time, or, probably, some combination of both.

[@robertodell9193]

The creature is a mollusc, not a snail. All snails are molluscs, but not all molluscs are snails. So, this prehistoric variant can be any design the filmmakers wanted.

You joke about and scoff at the idea of people finding slugs or snails scary, but I actually suffer from molluskophobia, which is a fear of slugs and snails. I will legitimately run away screaming if I see one. However, the creature in this movie doesn't really provoke that reaction from me. I think it's because it doesn't look enough like a real snail, it doesn't have the right texture, it's not gooey enough, and it doesn't really move like one, either.
