Bursting out

Teen-age sweetheart of the 21st century
Mad science essential: Re-Animator

Bert I. Gordon (look at the initials) is best remembered, perhaps, as the creator of movies like The Amazing Colossal Man (1957), but he also gives us at least one decent thaumatophile moment in what is otherwise a real stinker of a movie called Village of the Giants (1965).

The movie does feature a Mad Scientist of sorts — an annoying Boy Genius imaginatively called “Genius.” He invents some sort of wonder substance that causes biological organisms to grow to colossal size (a theme dear to B.I.G.’s heart, obviously).  A crew of dim, overaged teenagers steal of of the substance and camp out in an abandoned theater, and consume some.

And while this movie is stupid on all sorts of levels (it was riffed on but good by the MST3K crew), B.I.G. does manage to get one thing right, which is that he takes account of the fact that a wonder substance that blows you up to several times your natural size won’t necessarily blow up the clothes you are wearing, and that’s a result that B.I.G. rightly exploits for some decent sexploitation, at least for 1965.

I’ve done part of the result as animated GIFs for your edification.  Since they’re sort of big (hmm…) and since some people find them annoying I’ve tucked them beneath the fold.  Click at your own risk!

I count 261 frames between these two images.    The remaining 144,881 frames in the movie — meh.   At least I can give you the best part!  But if you happen not to believe me, you can follow the MST3K version on YouTube beginning here (no guarantees it will stay up for good).
