Sick! Is the monster's head inspired from War of the Worlds?

Thanks! No, the original monster witness descriptions all said it had a head in the shape of a spade, and this story is from the 1950's, so I'm guessing Hollywood has borrowed that from time to time.

Damn, that's an amazing interpretation, probably the best I've ever come across! Much more terrifying than the ones I'm used to seeing
