The Giant Gila Monster

If you were around in the 1950s, you no doubt remember Hollywood being overtaken by a rash of "B" movies featuring overgrown creatures of some sort menacing the local town folk; ants, spiders, praying mantises, grasshoppers, leeches and the like. Pretty corny by today's sophisticated standards, but lots of fun to look back on. Makes you wonder how the actors kept a straight face while delivering their lines. Maybe they really did believe?


BTW, the Gila Monster is the only poisonous lizard native to the United States.


Here's a link to a great trailer from the cult classic, "The Giant Gila Monster."
