The Magnetic Monster

The Magnetic Monster

The Magnetic Monster is a 1953 independently made American black-and-white science fiction film, produced by Ivan Tors and George Van Marter, directed by Curt Siodmak and (uncredited) Herbert L. Strock, that stars Richard Carlson, King Donovan, and Jean Byron. The film was released by United Artists. Magnetic Monster is the first feature film in Ivan Tors' "Office of Scientific Investigation" (OSI) trilogy, which was followed by Riders to the Stars (1954) and Gog (1954). The Magnetic Monster marked Carlson's initial foray into science fiction and horror films; he would follow it with better known titles that would forever associate him with those genres: It Came from Outer Space (1953), The Maze (1953), Riders to the Stars (1954), Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954), and such TV series as Thriller and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.

Howard Denker:
It's hungry! It has to be fed constantly - or it will reach out its magnetic arm and grab at anything within its reach and kill it. It's monstrous, Stewart, monstrous. It grows bigger and bigger!

[Jeffrey and Connie Stewart arrive at their new house and are walking toward the front door]

Dr. Jeffrey Stewart:
Hey, you're not so skinny.

Connie Stewart:
I'm working on it. I'm getting bigger and better.

Dr. Jeffrey Stewart:
Secret of multiplication.

Connie Stewart:
What are you talking about?

Dr. Jeffrey Stewart:
I'm not sure. Excepting they both seem to have something to do with multiplication. Done through love, the result is a baby, a... a lovely thing. But without love, done through hate or... or fear, the result is a monster, an element that grows.

Connie Stewart:
Jeff... [Connie removes a set of keys from her handbag, and they enter the house]

Gen. Behan:
The Canadian government operates a top-secret plant in Nova Scotia. They own the most powerful Deltatron in existence. When they realize the common danger, they'll let us use it.

Mayor:
Nova Scotia is 4000 miles away. The period between cycles is 11 hours. How are we gonna transport it there in that time?

Gen. Behan:
Our jets travel at 600 miles an hour. And what's more, the new alloys used in our jets are non-magnetic. They will not be affected by the cargo. You, Dr. Stewart, and Forbes can follow in another plane, just in case. [picks up phone] Operator, this is General Behan. Give me Washington. Connect me with the Secretary of Defense. [to Dr. Stewart and Mayor] I like this world. Let's keep it in one piece. Or at least, let's try.
