The Lost World is a 1960 fantasy adventure film based on the novel of the same name by Arthur Conan Doyle and directed by Irwin Allen. The plot of the film revolves around the exploration of a mysterious flat mountain in the heart of unknown Venezuela inhabited by cannibalistic natives, dinosaurs, carnivorous plants, and giant spiders. The cast includes Claude Rains, David Hedison, Fernando Lamas, Jill St. John, and Michael Rennie. Special effects for the film were rather simple and involved monitor lizards, iguanas, and crocodiles affixed with miniature horns and fins. Director Allen later stated that though he wanted stop motion models, he could only work with lizards and live creatures in accordance with the studio's budget. This technique has been given the nickname slurpasaur by fans. Though it received mixed reviews in its day, the film got constant runs on TV and Cable and is liked as one of Irwin Allen's earliest excursions into science fiction films and TV shows. Later he did make the jump to other sci-fi numbers while Doyle's tale got remade for TV and Video. LESS
