June 10, 1953 –
Arguably, one of the worse films ever (save those of auteur Ed Wood), Robot Monster was released upon an unsuspecting public, on this date.
Most of the movie was shot at Bronson Canyon. The scenes in the ruined home were shot in a hilly residential area. Reportedly, the film was shot entirely outdoors, without sets, in four days.
Mystery Science Theater 3000 riffed on the film in an episode of its first season.
And so it goes
