The "chest chomp" effect was achieved with a hydraulic mechanism that snapped the cavity open and shut, sinking razor-sharp acrylic "teeth" into two brace-supported replica arms made of Jell-O and gelatin blood tubes (for flesh) and dental wax (for bones). Double-amputee Joe Carone (sporting a mask of actor Richard Dysart) acted as a stand-in, pulling the false limbs back and providing one hell of a reaction shot. The creature's signature urethane tentacles were whipped from underneath the table by an operator, flicking horribly until small explosive charges send a geyser of green ichor (almost certainly some unholy blend of K.Y. jelly) soaring skyward. The stalk-creature is revealed: a suspended marionette operated by wires from above. Robert E. Worthington supervised the construction of six different "stalk thing" heads, each with their own range of radio-controlled expressions. The heads were maneuvered through a hole in the false ceiling sneakily hidden through camera-placement.
