There were four live octopi used, as well as a prop and stop motion model. Tsuburaya's crew had gone to a beach near Tokyo to shoot the live sequences by constructing a miniature set of the shack on a small platform. They had fishermen provide octopus and the crew would spend several days trying to get the right shots, since the octopi were none to cooperative. Hot air was blown on them to get them to move, and after the filming of the scene was finished, most of them were released although legend has it that Eiji Tsuburaya had one for dinner.
