As a little kid, I saw that movie one afternoon while the parents were away.
Gave me nightmares for months.
To this day, anytime there’s new of some scientist drilling for something, I think of *that*.
A tiny piece of frozen monster came up on the drill bit....and then it *grew*.
{{{shudder}}}
Many years later, The largest production casing we had in any of our wells was only 7 inches in diameter. Then I grinned thinking how silly it had been as a kid to find the idea of LGMs (little gray men--hey, it was a B&W TV) climbing up out of the depths of the Earth...
Funny how that stuff sticks with you.
