Did you know
• A brief clip from the climactic final attack scene later appeared in the 1985 horror film "Fright Night." In that film Roddy McDowall introduces the scene as being from a fictional movie called "Mars Needs Flesh."
• The Octaman suit actually does have eight tentacles, two small ones branch off the leg tentacles just above the ankle to complete the octet.
• The actor who donned the Octaman monster suit could only see through a small pair of holes in the forehead of the monster head. With vision so limited the performers movements had to be very careful as to not damage the suit. This is why the monster moves in such a lumbering way.

Beware the beast whose mouth does not move!
Lousy but laughable fun
Don't expect too much and you might just have some fun.
