Cool rifle
The rifle tips were amber, the pistol tips were clear. The pistol was based upon an old Black & Decker drill. The tractor was built upon a silent movie camera dolly and was made primarily of plywood. It was destroyed after filming.
Here is a close-up look at the Krell chairs used in the lab.
I'd like to see someone build this!
Here is what the exterior lock looks like today:
I don’t know why no one has asked this before: “Just which actor am I looking at other than the main stars?” This is the photo set of the ENTIRE cast].

The Monster from the Id — 4 animation cells:
All others are a product of someone else’s “Id”.
And a reminder of the rank insignia:
At the 1956 Helldorado Parade in Las Vegas, Robby and the shell of one of the quad blasters were part of a float:
During the post WWII era it was common for Hollywood to do this with movies they wanted to promote. For a while this was echoed in the Hollywood Christmas Parades, particularly when Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan came out. As was typical for these parades the electronics where removed to prevent damage.
Robby also went into The Sands Hotel and gambled.
Here is proof that they planned a confrontation between Dr. Morbius and his Id! These are very rare pictures, indeed. These are found in A. Arnold Gillespie’s book The Wizard of MGM.
Bonus!
A SFX set-up plan for the Id’s-eye-view approach to the ship when it went up the gangway and murdered Chief Quinn:
This isdefinitely a different angle than is seen in the movie!
These are close-ups of the C-57-D’s “big sister” with the ramp hatches open. You never see any ramps in the two films these photos are from. Gigantes Planetarios
El Planeta de las Mujeres Invasoras
I hope these are of interest.
