The Crawling Eye

New artwork in honor of 50's B-Horror movie classic, "The Crawling Eye".

Updated 2/28/23

"The nightmare terror of the slithering eye that unleashed agonizing horror on a screaming world!"

My illustrated tribute to "The Crawling Eye", also known as "The Trollenberg Terror" from 1958. A series of decapitations on a Swiss mountainside appear to be connected to a mysterious radioactive cloud, but it's hiding something far more sinister.

This black-and-white creature feature is one of my favorite classic movies. When I first saw it as a kid, the creature design captured my imagination. As an adult, it's a bit more goofy than scary, but it has a charm that makes me like it even more. It also has a Lovecraftian vibe from the tentacled space invaders to their ability to telepathically enter your dreams and manipulate humans.

See my below for my development process of this image:
