How it scared people
The vibe
The best-looking film of the Showa run and barely horror at all: a typhoon washes Mothra's egg ashore, developers fence it off for a theme park, and two six-inch fairies sing for it back. Godzilla comes up out of the mud at Kurashiki as a straightforward monster villain. Tsuburaya's miniatures have never looked better, and the larvae webbing Godzilla into the sea is the series at its most cheerfully unbothered.
