The Giant Gila Monster

When a 70-foot-long Gila monster (portrayed by a Mexican beaded lizard) in North Texas kills a young couple, then makes its way to town, the local sheriff (Fred Graham) and a hot-rodding mechanic (Don Sullivan) try to keep it from doing the Frug all over the teens at the sock hop. Cult classic shoestringer from director Ray Kellogg and producer Ken Curtis ("Gunsmoke’s" Festus) co-stars Lisa Simone, Shug Fisher. 74 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
