The Giant Gila Monster

The Giant Gila Monster from 1959 knows its audience. Teenagers go to sock hops in hot rods, accompanied by hep music. Meanwhile, their small Texas town is terrorized by a huge mutant Gila monster, played by a Mexican beaded lizard. The sheriff is concerned, but it's the teenagers who save the day. Critics say the movie is awful, but fun to watch with its unintentional comedy and likable characters. (Thanks, WTM!)
