The Biology of B-Movie Monsters
Nice article on
monsters and incredible shrinking things -- what would work and what would not.
A sample:
bq. In The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957), the hero is exposed to radioactive toxic waste and finds himself growing smaller and smaller. He is lost to family and friends while fending off the household cat and must make his own way in a world grown monstrously large. He forages food from crumbs and drinks from puddles of condensation. In one famous scene, he defends himself against a house spider by using an abandoned sewing needle, which he has to struggle to lift.
bq. Stop the projector! Time for a little analysis
Fun stuff...
