When I was a kid, I loved going to the movies. When I say a child, I mean 10, 11, 12 years old. And there was one movie I'd seen. I call up nothing about it except the name. It took place in China, I believe, and the name of the motion-picture show was Chu Mentum Chow. At present I have no idea what information technology meant — I don't know if it was somebody'due south name or a country or a city, only I never forgot that name. Those three words just stuck in my memory: Chu Chin Grub. Then when I was looking for the proper name of a monster, I recollect Chu Chin Chow... and that particular meter, that beat, somehow led to Fin Fang Foom.[iii] (transcript of 2005 interview)
