Giant Movie Monsters From Around The World
Giant Movie Monsters From Around The World

Ask anyone to name a giant movie monster, and chances are, you ll get one or more of the Big Three: Godzilla, King Kong, and the T. Rex from the
Jurassic Park franchise. A few savvy sci-fi types might reel off Ray Harryhausen s Rhedosaurus from
The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms or Gamera, the giant turtle. Based on those choices, you might think that all oversized movie monsters hail from the United States and Japan. But many countries around the world can count a kaiju-styled title in their cinematic output; some, like Thailand, have their own homegrown monster industry, devoted to Hollywood-and Toho-inspired beasts plus a few from their own myths.
