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.
Released to negative critical response and weak box-office, the title was quickly changed to Monster From Mars. The film, however, illustrates clearly that the monster is from the moon.
Close examination of the Ro-Man’s helmet reveal it to be very similar to the helmets worn by the moon-men on the lunar surface in Republic Pictures‘ serial Radar Men from the Moon.
