Movie Quote(s): Martha Hunter: But Doctor, that theory doesn't explain why Jules' and Carson's minds have turned against us. Dale Drewer: Preservation of the species. Once they were men. Now they are land crabs. Movie Trivia: Ed Nelson "played" the crab monster with Beach Dickerson operating the monster's claws. Allied Artists Pictures released this film on a double bill with Not of This Earth (1957) to many drive-in theaters with the tag line "Terrorama! Double Horror Sensation!" Russell Johnson broke his toe while splashing around in the water during one scene. Due to the low budget of the film, director Roger Corman had a stage tech tape up Johnson's toe and immediately ordered him back in the water to finish the scene.
