Story Ideas for 1950s B-Movie
Here are some rough ideas for the story;
Idea 1:
A scientist is running experiments on some nocturnal animals and humans, trying to
create humans that can see in the dark for military purposes. He is using some form of
radiation and an accident happens causing his test subjects to mutate and become
monstrous beasts, a humanoid nocturnal animal beast.
Idea 2:
On a secret isolated island. A scientific research base is creating all kinds of weapons and
the complexes main reactor starts to leak radiation which mutates the local wildlife,
making one kind of dangerous animal species more savage and monstrous than before.
These newly mutated creatures start attacking the base and killing the staff there. The
only way to kill these monsters is to use the experimental weapons on the researchbase.

The Story
A scientist is conducting experiments on three human test subjects. He hopes to
take traits from three nocturnal animals and inject their genomes into the test subjects.
This scientist works in a military base in Texas, which is surrounded by vast woodlands and
local to a small town. One night the scientist's assistant knocks over a canister of
radioactive toxic waste. She picks it up, but unknown to her the container is damaged and
starts to leak. Over night while its quiet and no ones around, except for the test subjects
asleep in their rooms. The radiation starts to mutate them, turning them into savage
animal like monsters. When morning comes and the scientist returns, he notices
the destruction in the lab and the test subjects are gone. The monsters have escaped the
base and are on the lose in the woodlands heading for the town.

Styles of The 50s
Here are some styles from the 50s era. Everything seems bulky and slightly exaggerated, example the
tail fins on the car. Lots of shades of browns too.
Radio Wall Clock Television
Tail fins from a Cadillac
Fridges

Monster Ideas
Here are some animals that would be good to hybridize.
Regenerating lost limbs; Axolotl Crab Glass Lizard
Great camouflage;Leaf Insect
Chameleon Flower MantisCuttlefish
Flying animals. Insects would make better
monsters than birds as they are more
creepy;
Hover Fly
Giant Hornet Dragonfly

3rd Monster Ideas
I thought the Hercules beetle would make a great monster with its intimidating large horns. It can fly and its not highly
aggressive which would fit the human character.
