Comment on Is there anything like a Beholder monster before 1975?
bryndos@fedia.io 10 hours ago'Garth Marenghi's Darkplace' (TV, 2000s) also had something similar in the "skipper the eyechild" episode. Nsfw if anyone searches it. I'd be quite surprised if they paid royalties for that.

There is plenty of similar, I also recall a Powerpuff girls episode with something like a beholder, also in the 90s I think. No infringement either, because it wasn’t exactly a beholder nor it was called a beholder.
That Pixar movie did use a proper beholder though.
Anyway… They’re all after 1975 so…
