Like Rondo Hatton, Tor Johnson needed little makeup to play monsters. Johnson was not deformed like Hatton, but was possessed of a 300-pound-plus frame which lent itself well to the portrayal of superhuman monsters, roles that Tor Johnson played in a number of films in the 1950s. Usually the actor appeared with a shaved head and little other makeup in fashioning a series of bizarre brainless giants in films like Bride of the Monster (1955), The Black Sleep (1956), The Unearthly (1957), and The Beast of Yucca Flats (1961).
