GIANT FROM THE UNKNOWN (1958) - 1080p HD - Classic 50's Schlock - TOP QUALITY

[@IanBeresford-m9x]

I love watching classic movies like this one and many more like this one

[@bigblockjalopy]

I watched this in my 1960 Plymouth. The drama music goes along well with the funky instrument panel lol

[@RussellBauwens]

A fun, old movie to watch, pretty well-made and a good way to spend some time watching. Thank you for sharing..

[@rockindaddy6535]

I like that movie....Thank you for sharing..

[@stuteman]

No ads, nice for a change. Thanks

[@JoanneSag]

I enjoyed this movie, thank you very much.

[@61countdown]

Reminds me of the days spent in the mountains when I was younger. Watching this movie you can almost smell the pine needles on the ground roasting in the hot sun. Or get a whiff of the occasional fresh breeze coming through the trees. Memories of Banff and Jasper parks in Alberta and growing up on the west coast.

You're right. I live there. The lodge hasn't been touched for years. I think it's beyond repair. And I hope it stays that way. As long as it keeps standing it's cool just the way it is.

For this low-budget production, the make-up was created and applied to Buddy Baer by Jack P. Pierce. Pierce was one of Hollywood's legendary make-up artists. He had been the head of Universal's make-up department during the 1930s and 1940s and is best remembered for creating the special make-ups for Universal's classic horror productions.

I like watching these old monster and sci-fi movies. Thanks for posting this one. When I was young, our first TV was a black & white set, so I'm okay with black & white programs. Yes, I'm that old.😂 I thought that I had seen the female lead in other things, so I checked her out on Google. I also checked out some of the other cast members. I was especially curious about Buddy Baer,😅 whose name was in the credits. And yes, that's the correct spelling of his last name. That's also why I was curious about him. He played the giant. I wondered if this big, strong actor with the last name of Baer was related to Max Baer, Jr. who is big, strong, and played Jethro Bodine on the Beverly Hillbillies. BINGO! Buddy's older brother, also a big strong actor, was Max Baer, Sr., and Max Sr. was the father of Max Baer, Jr. Young Max is the only surviving cast member of the Beverly Hillbillies. I love that goofy show! 😂

The Sheriff (Bob Steele) played the evil hitman Canino in The Big Sleep. That was 1946. (Got shot by Humphrey Bogart.) That was one absolutely chilling performance he turned in back then. Other than that he mostly did Westerns. His career spanned six decades.

[@mugwugthemagnificful]

So, if Vargus was in suspended animation until halfway through the movie, who was doing the livestock mutilations and murders in the beginning? Indian Joe, Bigfoot? The behavior fits sasquatch, and the name Devil's Crag sound eerily similar to place names like Skookum Valley, roughly strong or monster valley, a Bigfoot hotspot. Also, a taboo area.

[@robertstewart9658]

That bothered me too even at the tender age of eight.

[@bobesposito9384]

Does anyone here remember that during the night's storm, a lightning bolt hits the axe handle which is what gave the giant the spark of life? That print seems to no longer exist!

[@cx3268]

Like tese oldies, at the time that can be scary. Today many things in such movies are sometimes funny.

[@charlottewhyte9804]

yeap

[@nassauguy48]

Actually, the slow and stealthy movements of the monsters or villains, coupled with the menacing sounding music, often inflict more fear than the fast moving and high tech effects of today's movies.

I live where most of this was shot. 6,900 feet, one store, no giants and about 350 full time residents. And fighting any kind of growth as hard as possible. Places like Fawnskin need to exist.

Good cast and lots of overused movie tropes, e.g. the engine won't start. A good explanation for Bigfoot.

OK - riddle me this: since the giant wasn't awoken until half way thru the film, what was doing all the killing at the start?

Climate Change.

It didn’t explain the cattle and other animal mutilations, before the giant rose from the earth.

So whenever there is a electrical storm Senior Giant wakes up and goes on a killing spree with a battle-ax. And when he gets tired of murder he buries himself again? The movie starts out with the locals upset about vicious murders happening in the area; yet the title character seems to have woken up for the first time. The logic of Schlock-Meisters.

[@AllanGonnella]

We first saw this little treasure at our local kiddie matinee at the Garmar Theater around 1960 when I was 10. We actually threw empty popcorn boxes at the screen to show how we felt about this crummy mess. I have a question. If Vargas, The Diablo Giant, didn't come to life during a freak lightening storm half way through the movie then who was responsible for the bloodthirsty killings of the townsfolks and cattle in the beginning of the move? Just asking! Richard Cunha made some really crummy B-Sci-Fi movies back then. Missile To The Moon, Frankenstein's Daughter and She Demons were pretty crummy but fun to watch. My favorite line in any 50's B-movies was from Frankenstein's Daughter: "Trudy! Do your know who I really am? I'm not just Oliver Frank! I'm really Oliver Frankenstein! OLIVER!!!!????

[@Jomartproducts]

Did this really happen?

[@WarrenBridges-um5cg]

Yes. They really did make a movie.

[@justme-n-gracie]

[@allandavis8201]

I love these old B&W films, crazy storylines and poor special effects and you have a great film 🎥. @ 4:11 the Sheriff threatening “Indian Joe” (if he was indigenous)with another vagrancy charge is comical, the indigenous people threatened with vagrancy in THEIR OWN COUNTRY, filmmakers back then could easily get away with using the indigenous peoples as the fall guy, but in modern films I think there could be a considerable amount of backlash. For a rural community that has the base of its economy in hunting and fishing there isn’t one good shot amongst them, but it’s not as if the target was a mouse or anything, it’s a giant.

[@michaelbabbitt3837]

For one thing, it's a movie. Another thing: Indians didn't own land and had no country. They moved about and many waged war on other tribes. You are imposing your idea of ownership on people who used (exploited) lands but did not own them. They fought for control of an area. The idea of a nation-state, a country, was foreign to them. They. were people-nations but not a country with boundaries as we know them today. They would even set fires to forests to draw out animals, if my memory serves me correctly. You are using the wrong paradigm to defend them. Farmers and ranchers with greater technology and power, defeated nomadic tribes. That is the truth, and in many cases, a very sad truth.

[@allandavis8201]

@@michaelbabbitt3837 typical answer, just because the indigenous people didn’t lay “claim” to land or give it a name does not change the fact that the very people who claim to be civilised decided to claim it for themselves, not for everyone, not for the indigenous and colonisers but just for themselves, and the people who call themselves American. You think that laying claim to land meant that you owned it, you still do, and your argument is always the same, the louder you shout and tell people that you are right the more you think others will believe it, but your wrong, you took the land for yourselves, nothing else mattered and still doesn’t in your mind, America has a very long record of imposing its own will on the world, but only if you can get everyone else to do the hard work first, typical bullies and thieves, and you won’t ever admit you did anything wrong, that’s why you shout so much, it’s the only way to convince yourself that you are in the right, but your not, you are wrong.

Back in the old days get arrested for murder 5 minutes later convince the law it wasn't you and then you end up leading the hunt for a giant that's not really a giant. Case solved except for the murders and mutilations that were happening before the giant came out of suspended animation. I wonder who the town folk were planning on lynching, because it didn't really seem to be the guy who was arrested.. Perhaps it was some coloured guy..
