Raging up from the bottom of time!"; "It's alive!"; "Cast of thousands! Over a year in the making!"; "Suggested by the Sensational Saturday Evening Post Story by Ray Bradbury"; with special effects by Ray Harryhausen) starring Paul Hubschmid (billed as "Paul Christian"), Paula Raymond, Cecil Kellaway, Lee Van Cleef, Kenneth Tobey, Donald Woods, and Ross Elliot
NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
Important Added Info: Note that card #1 (the only card from this set that shows the monster, or any special effects of any kind, and therefore is far more desirable than the other seven cards combined) has been personally autographed (signed) by Ray Harryhausen! Of course, the other seven cards have NOT been autographed.

Our consignor is a very longtime collector of movie paper who purchased this item years ago, and it was signed, but he doesn't know how the signature was obtained, and he (and we) believe it is likely that the autograph is authentic. As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction.

Condition: good to very good. The cards have varying amounts of defects around the edges, including tiny staple holes, stains, creases, and small tears. The #1 card has yellow tape stains in the corners (see our images of all eight cards).
