The Fog Horn & Other Stories in 1979 and The Fog Horn and Other Stories in 1981 (both editions were published in English also), and finally Dinosaur Tales in 1983. Adaptations The story was the basis for the 1953 film The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms. A play based on the short story was included in Bradbury's Pillar of Fire and Other Plays in 1975. The plot in the thirteenth episode of Pokémon, "Mystery at the Lighthouse" (1997), is based on this short story. Leonard Nimoy stated that this story was part of the inspiration behind the 1986 film Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. In 1953 in the comic book Tales of Horror #7 an uncredited version of this story is presented as "The Beast From The Deep", and has cover story art clearly derivative of the original story. An official comic adaptation was produced in 1993 in Topps Comics' Ray Bradbury Comics #3. The 2020 crowdfunded Japanese short film Howl from Beyond the Fog was inspired by the story, with director Daisuke Sato having previously adapted the story as a 20 minute short fan-film in 2007 as a technical exercise. The influence of the short story contributed to the creation of the Godzilla franchise.
