Director Jack Arnold liked to use the sides of the movie screen as the arches in a proscenium-style theater with unexpected intrusions coming in from the sidelines. This technique can be seen here when Professor Clete Ferguson (John Agar) goes out into the darkened area around the motel to look for Helen Dobson's (Lori Nelson's) missing dog. A hand suddenly reaches out from the right side of the screen to touch him, giving him (and the audience) a start, but it's not the dreaded Gill-Man, it's simply Lori Nelson.
