Horror Movies & Sci-Fi Movies Database	01.07.10

---

The monster, which looks like a nastier version of "The Creature from the Black Lagoon," invades a sleepy lighthouse town. The superstitious lighthouse keeper is worried for the safety of his beautiful teenage daughter, so he leaves food for the monster, who dwells in a nearby cave. When bodies wash up ashore, the locals take notice. Movie Tagline: MAN-MONSTER FROM THE SLIMY DEATHS!

Movie Quote(s): Fred: There's been another murder. Sturges, the Lighthouse Keeper: Who? Fred: Kochek. We found his body this afternoon. Sturges, the Lighthouse Keeper: He talked too much. Movie Trivia: The monster suit looks like the one from Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954), mainly because the creator of The Creature, Jack Kevan, produced and supervised the make-up effects on the film. Much is credited to Universal-International's standard make-up credit of Bud Westmore, but he had little to do (other than posing for publicity photos) with the great monsters from that studio in the '50's. The hands of the monster were the same as those props used in The Mole People (1956). Piedras Blancas actually exists. It's a town on the central California coast, and it does have a lighthouse that was used in this film, but only for exterior shots.
