There was a Godzilla and giant monster craze? Must have missed that.


Wouldn't call it a craze, but popularity of giant monster films was pretty high in the 50's and 60's from what I can tell.

I'd call the 90's the closest thing to a "craze" we had....a mass marketed line of American toys on the shelves of Wal-Mart and Toys R Us, new movies still being made, and import toys selling for $200+ that now can't be moved at $60...

I lived through the '90s. Still wouldn't call it a craze.

I believe, like PRIMEVAL mentioned (no, not me), that they were very popular in the 50s/60s. Along with Westerns and stuff. Then they kinda died.
