See this film: It Came From Beneath the Sea [with lecture on monster biology] @ the Coolidge

An environmental warning before people even knew there was an environment, Robert Gordon's It Came From Beneath the Sea (1955) features a giant octopus provoked by H-bomb testing into destroying San Francisco. It makes sense when you see it, especially when University of Chicago professor Michael LaBarbera explains the monster's biology when he hosts this session of Science on Screen series at the Coolidge.
