Attack of the 50 Ft Woman Movie

When I was six-years-young
The attack of the fifty-foot woman was born.
I saw the signs, of course, but could not imagine
Why anyone would be afraid of a fifty-foot woman
having no concept of how women behave sometimes.

I do not believe I saw the movie until I was twelve.
It was terrifying and terrorizing, and I was terrified.
The woman was ripping signs off of buildings,
and throwing things around in a giant rage.
Like some women do, when they get frustrated.

I do not care to ever see it again, but I do know
at twelve, when you are realizing how your body is changing
and you are a girl, who likes to not have messy things around,
you can relate well to this kind of rage.
I was throwing things around myself.

Yikes, I have never seen this movie, but if I did, I would be scared too. You poor thing. Do you remember the flying monkeys in The Wizard of Oz? They scared me to death. This made me laugh and my daughter too. Such a funny, catchy title.

You should look up the movie posters! This woman terrorized a town, tearing signs off buildings and stomping cars in half.

This was a true movie - I think it came out in 1958.
