The Monster From The Id

- This is my favorite scene from Forbidden Planet (1956). The invisible monster from the Id is illuminated as a result of its contact with a defensive "force field" energy barrier and "ray gun" weapons fire from the good guys.

The monster's roar has haunted my dreams for decades.
this scene absolutely terrified me when i was a kid :)
the howling still makes me shiver even today.
Forbidden Planet and The Day the Earth Stood Still are the most influential
sci-fi movies from the 50's. They really set the tone, the mood, and retro technology that all sci movies would be judged for the next twenty years. Great stuff !!!
"A monster from the Id? Surely you can't be serious?"
"Yes, I am serious. And stop calling me Shirley."
+Aron Le Baron LOL!
+Aron Le Baron Curse you for getting here first ; )
Leslie Nielson played a lot of heavies in the movies before his deadpan delivery catapulted him to the "Humor Hall of Fame' in Airplane". Much the same with Peter Graves.
No need for the RIP, he's 'dead and loving it'.
Aron Le Baron lol
I reckon this is still the best movie monster ever. Forbidden Planet is a classic now and it will be a classic a hundred years from now.
In hundred years movies will only exist in museums, and no one will Watch them anymore. Or just for a minute maybe to see what primitive distractions we had in our century.
SomeOne had Placed a RePly upon you & NOW it is Missing!!!
Do You Know Why???
ONE of the best ever,to be sure...
I'm 64 and still love this movie ,my all time favorite , thanks for posting this great scene
Despite the film's age, this scene is still impressive. I think it was animated by the team at Walt Disney studios. Who else spotted the very similar looking effects of the Krell door melting scene in a certain George Lucas film?
I was 5 years old when my parents took me to this movie. I still remember walking to their car parked down a slight hill. On the right side of the street was a series of steps leading down into apartments below street level. I just knew something was gonna appear from out of the darkness and rip my body to shreds. I couldn't wait to get in that automobile and get home to safety.
I wish I grew up in your world. Thanks for sharing. x
By the way everyone, Forbidden Planet is George R.R Martin's (author of A Game of Thrones) favorite movie. He loved it so much, he actually based a significant plot point in the second book on this movie.
The Id monster and other animated special effects was done by an animator and a special effects artist named Joshua Meado ,who was lent out to MGM by Disney. He was part of the team that did the special effects on Disney's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
this scared the LIVING SHIT out of me as a kid!!!
This scene was a clear inspiration for the "ceiling drop" part in Aliens. The notion that your detectors are picking up a threat that should be right in front of you, but to your eyes.... nothing. Or so it seems.
Great stuff. Such a childhood classic, this.
It is a true classic movie , space ship , impossible monster , ray guns , a very hot girl , " Robby " , a " mad " scientist , just everything was in this movie !!!!
Forbidden Planet was so ahead of its time, that it's RIDICULOUS. From "blasters" to "photons" to "hyper space" to "beamers" to "speeders," modern si fi films simply wouldn't be the same without it. When I first saw the young and handsome Leslie Nielson as the captain of the star ship, what a departure from his goofy detective role in the "Naked Gun" films! Whatta guy.
Great clip from a great movie! Forbidden Planet is an absolute sci fi classic! Still looks brilliant nearly 60 years after it was made.
This the big daddy of all the science fiction films that followed. It isnt so much that it was ahead of its time as it became the basis for almost everything that followed in the way of decent science fiction. This is the most influential of all science fictions films and it set the way ahead for the rest.
I remember this scared the heck out of me when I first saw it.
One of my favorite movies as a kid growing up & yes it scared the daylights outa me too. I still love it.
A great movie way ahead of it's time. One of my all time favorites.
My favorite Sci Fi film. The Day the Earth Stood Still is my second favorite. I guess some technicians who worked for Disney did some of the special effects for this fantastic film. Man, I would have loved to have seen this on the big screen when it debuted in 1956.
I remember watching this on Saturday TV when I was about six years old. It made an impression. This is still one of the best sci fi movies of all time.
This film has about the eeriest music ever written.
Still one of the best sci-fi films.
The audio from this movie still is as freaky as it was when I watched it as a 10 year old.
You know ... the effects may look ridiculous and dated. But this ends up being one hell of a creepy scene - all because of the buildup, atmosphere and tension. You don't need crappy looking CGI monsters or jump scares to make a scary scene.
+drpapa26 When I was a kid, back in the 80s, I saw this movie and that scene scared the SHIT out of me. Even now, the half-glimpsed creature is creepy and really works on the imagination. What we can't see is far more frightening than what we can see.
+drpapa26 I'm with you on that. I think CGI has added realism to fantastical beings and I know you aren't denigrating that part of it, but you are right in what really makes this scene work. When you think that the actors have to imagine an unseen terror coupled with props that aren't going to be firing anything until post-production, the whole idea is how to construct it all up dramatically. Hitchcock was very influential to filmmaking in those days and suspense was an art that everyone wanted to create because it sells well with moviegoers and critics. It still does.
I don't think they look ridiculous or dated.
Except that the effects DON'T look ridiculous and dated - not for 1956. These would have been decent special effects for the early 1970s (pre Star Wars). In fact, I am hard pressed to think of any film with more convincing special effects (at least in this scene), pre Star Wars, aside from 2001 A Space Odyssey.
the only part that is dated is the way the people fire at the thing and the space beems- everything else about this scene is fine.
NEVER REMAKE THIS FILM!!! its perfect the way it is don't enhance it ...JUST DON'T TOUCH IT!!!..."ITS MASTERFUL!"
+zipper Agree fully. It's perfect and the crafted and painted effects are better than CGI.
Well ahead of it's time.
Wasn't there a scene where huge footprints showed up from the invisible monster walking? That was creepy.
I love the shrieking and roaring of the monster. That's what monsters should sound like -- threatening, angry, outraged. "How DARE you fight back !!!"
Krells must have had some very nasty suppressed emotions.
As do we all - that was Dr. Morbius' own creature from the id.
gave my childhood bed time a nightmare that seemed to last years. the outstanding SF film on so many levels I have ever seen.
Fantastic... I saw this a few years back in a theatre in New York from a new print. Gave me even bigger chills then when I saw it on TV as a kid.
Totally ahead of its time.
The music - VERY progressive, and the noise the creature from the ID made still gives me the chills!
+Old-Man Parker how do you know the music is progressive and not conservative? It kind of sounded odd so i would say it is conservative music.
As in progressive rock maybe?
one of the best movie monsters. effects are not really outdated its the design that is. great
I saw this movie when I was a kid on the VHS, and this thing scared the living crap out of me. It still gives me shivers watching this scene now.
Like others, this scene scared me as a kid. Great buildup.The sound, Thump, thump, like a heartbeat, is so awesome.
Silly me, even with what can be done with modern special effects, this scene gives me a big smile and cold chills! I'll always love this film, and Robbie.
One the great sci-fi films, it's also favourite scene in the film.
God Bless Leslie. RIP
Whatever you do, DON'T call him Shirley.
The animation for this effect was done by Disney's Joshua Meador. The "roaring" created by Louis and Bebe Barron. A truly striking scene.
1956 way ahead of its time,great sound effects!
I remember that this always aired the Monday after Labor Day in September - the first day of school in this neck of the woods! You guessed it I went to school very tired those mornings!
that sound of the alien footsteps.
This movie. This scene. Nothing else to say.
I remember watching this when I was like 10-yo kid. This monster scared the *** out of me! One of the most horrifying things I saw when I was a kid. Great movie btw.
Why after 15 years from when I first saw this thing does it still creep me out!
+brian weiss
I've watched it dozens of times over these nearly 60 years and it still gives me the chills.
Ur not alone! Not at all! Lol
I saw this when I was at least 6-7 years old, scared the crap out of me, had nightmare about it for days! no joke
One of the best sci-fi movies of all time.
This is the movie that started my love for space movies and science fiction
Awesome animation on the monster.
One of the all time greatest science fiction movies.
This movie was the Star Wars of it's time, now a true classic.
Keep in mind this was made in 1956 and in my opinion it has yet to be toped for sheer excitement. I was 6 when I first saw it and it still haunts my dreams but in a good way.
A wonderful film.
Not my favourite scene from the movie but fantastic all the same. Mine would be the scene(s)towards the end where the truth is slowly dawning on Morbius. Robbie detects something approaching, and the defensive metal screens come down over the windows suddenly and in quick succession. In the laboratory all those symbols are flashing, indicating the Krell machinery is using astronomical amounts of energy. Morbius orders Robbie to destroy the monster but the robot cannot for it knows the truth and shuts down; and the main door begins to heat up as the monster tries to gain entry.
That's my favorite scene too. "Guilty! Guilty! My evil self is at that door, and I have no power to stop it!"
"The ID Monster"...Still as good a sci fi scene as anything since
What an amazing scene, especially for its time.According to various things I have read, the Monster is actually supposed to be mimicking the "MGM Lion" who roars at the beginning of every MGM film (including of course this one).
WOW! I Never Realized THAT, but NOW I can SEE IT!!!!
Interesting. When I saw this I immediately said "Lion King!" The creature from the id was Mustafa. Who knew?
The best ever! This is where Star Trek, Star Wars and all the rest of them came from. They all borrowed from the Forbidden Planet. Killer scene thanks for posting it!
This scene has great innovative special effects.
love those matte paintings
If you haven't seen this movie it's a must! I like it more than Star Wars and Star Trek! It's ending was a big surprise that makes you think! But don't think too much or else!
I truly hope Hollywood never remakes this.......
One of my favorite scenes from this movie as well. Forbidden Planet IMO is one of the best scifi of the 50's
This is still one of my all time favorite films.
It's hard to believe Leslie Nielson used to play the square-jawed hero.
Fun trivia - the monster's roars and movements are patterned after those of "Leo the Lion", the MGM mascot at the beginning of the film.
The first REALLY EXCELLENT Sci-Fi movie ever made. The Monster from the Id was actually animation created by the Disney Studios... but who knew that? Its bellowing scared me shitless. It took a great many years before any other science fiction movie could top this one.
Great scene and movie, but whatever you do, don't run towards the monster or get close to it...
+Film & TV Yeah, what an idiot. I never understood why that dude ran up to it to shoot it.
These were fearless military men and their blasters would instantaneously have disintegrated anything they would have experienced up to this point.
There's always 1 isn't there?
Like there's always that couple of "red shirts" who have to run right up to the firkin' monster and let it grab em! Yikes! LOVE this movie. The pace, suspenseful, the effects, still great, and Robby the Robot is pure ART!
Old-Man Parker Technically, the "Red Shirts" only became red when the "Id Thing" grabbed them. Just sayin tho . . .
This is one of my favorite 1950's sci-fi movies. I like that the creature is a creation of the scientist own primitive sub-human memories and not some stuntman in a rubber suit.
I think the greatest part of this movie is that the thing that dates the special effects is the style and not the substance. They did an excellent job of playing within the limitations of what they had. Looking at those backdrops in hi def is amazing, and the minimalist creature is horrifying in part for how little of it there is. Plus, the synthesized roar is unforgettable, certainly so if you watched this as a kid.
this is classic, but there are so many favorite parts to this incredibly well done movie, it was way ahead of it's time..can watch this over and over..classic sci-fi at it's best.
When I saw this on TV in the 60's as a kid I thought it was the absolute most AWESOME, MYSTERIOUS, TERRIFYING, and WONDROUS movie ever created by the mind of man!
And...it fairly well is. There been some stunning sci-fi since then, but, all else equal, I'm not sure it's really ever been matched.
This movie set the tone for Star Wars and others,,a Classic
Brilliant in many ways. it deserved oscars then and stills looks good over 50 years later!
That really was amesome! I remember this movie well - still holds it's own!
Whoa!! ...the background sound. the monster from ID .. its creepy.. The first time i watched this movie on t.v. at my young age.. I was freak me out.... Even now that I was not that young anymore .Every time I watched this classic sci fi movie .. it gives me the gossebump.......Those background sound was very scary to me... but I love that movie
This horrified me as a child. It still raises my hairs as an adult. I can't imagine what it did to mid-50s audiences. I know that they are kicking around remaking this film. I hope that if they do they capture the creeping terror of this scene.
I like that their weapons have no recoil.
Great sci-fi, holds up really well
I got to see it on the big screen, in a theater here in los angeles, very impressive. We used to have those places that showed old movies like this. From what I read there was a technican on loan from Disney Studios that created the special effects, everything was done on the MGM lot.
Joshua Meador.
You shall not pass!
+Shevaron They need to make an update of this movie, but better. Change the story and concept up a bit.
+4Keys Holdings no way man! They will just ruin it! leave the classics alone!
I like how they made this battle very quiet.
THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for putting this scene on youtube and in such great quality, this is one of my favorite scenes of all time. =)
I saw that movie at the York Theater in Elmhurst, IL. On the ceiling of the York was large circular thing that looked just like a flying saucer! The flick scared me but also made me a life-long fan of this movie and almost all of science fiction! Cheers!
i never forget this scene
One of my favourite scenes in the whole of cinema--mighty, mighty stuff
Also, THEM! was pretty good as well. I liked that line Peter Graves said when the old professor said the ants made their tunnels using saliva. "Yeah. Spit's just about all that's holding me together, too."
The effects of the monster are still amazing even today... the ray guns, not so much. You can tell the actors weren't accustomed to miming like their weapons were actually doing something, giving the impression that the guns were pretty much firing of their own accord. And Jerry meets the definition of "too dumb to live".
I didn't get that impression about the ray guns. It has become a sci-fi convention (perhaps thanks to other movies and Star Wars) that futuristic ray guns have recoil. We expect to see actors using them in a certain way (similar to real guns). These were light weapons that only had to be aimed. Perhaps not satisfying to us since we're so used to "ray guns with recoil" but I didn't see much wrong with the way the actors were firing them here.
Photon Phasers....they would re-appear 10 years later in STOS....
Awesome movie. Would like to see it remade with today's CGI technology.
I saw this film many times, sometimes at the theater when I was a kid. This scene was terrifiying.
Love this movie, i have it on DVD. (great stuff).
I was very young when I saw this film I was very enthusiast.The story the technical advance make me in love with Sci fiction.
Man I was a child of 6 years old now been 18 years since I was first shown this movie it used to scare me. Actually that type of monster and thought of it still does.
Still worth every penny to go and watch it again. One of the very best
incredible scene...
It's funny, but this movie managed to give me chills in ways that no horror film has managed to this day.
The way that they manage to establish the tension around the creature up to this point is great, with nothing more than mentions of heavy breathing followed by a swift and brutal dismemberment of one of the crew members, is fantastic. It doesn't matter that we don't see the gore from the scene, the way they treat it and the creature does a perfect job of solidifying its image as an utterly unnatural force.
Even disregarding the creature itself, the mystery around the krell, and the revelation that their entire civilization was literally torn limb from limb by its own inner savagery is an utterly horrifying thought that ends up adding to the sense of dread upon the return of Morbius' id monster. The whole scene ends up being intensified as well with the conversations following the Doctor's brain enhancement, of such a being existing within every living human.
It brings tears to my eyes.
That was the magic of the movies of yesterday - they told you just enough for your own imagination to conjure up the horror.
The mind boggles at what 21st century special effects could do with this movie, but finding the right cast and production crews would be a challenge. Look at what happened with the "Day the Earth Stood Still" remake. Probably its best to just leave it alone.
Classic. I like the audio.
the same sound that was used for the monster in this movie, was later used for the smoke monster from that awesome TV show LOST :)
When you really get down to it, this movie was WAAAAYYY ahead of its time. The Krell, wiped themselves out with a "discovery that would change everything-instrumentalities without wires"...they could think anything or anyone into existence, including monsters from the subconcious-the ID- the kind that artistic people drew after having a bad LSD trip in the '60s. "That monster out there is you, Morbius, from your subconscious mind !!".....
Kind of the first Star Trek episode....United Planets Cruiser....United Federation of Planets Star ship...A strong Captain, and a very keen Doctor....etc, etc...
