Now Playing: 2 classic sci-fi films, "The Alligator People" and "The Monster of Piedras Blancas"

The Alligator People (1959) RATED APPROVED - Directed by Roy Del Ruth, with Beverly Garland, Bruce Bennett, Lon Chaney Jr.
A woman in a hypnotic state recounts to two doctors the details of a horrific experience from her past life that began with the mysterious and sudden disappearance of her husband.

The Monster of Piedras Blancas (1959) UNRATED - Directed by Irvin Berwick, with Les Tremayne, Forrest Lewis, John Harmon.
The monster, which looks like a snarling "Creature from the Black Lagoon," invades a sleepy seaside town. The lighthouse keeper, widowed and estranged from the town folk, has been secretly leaving food out for the monster for years, unaware of its blood lust. When the monster's appetite outstrips the keeper's ability to serve it, bloodless decapitated corpses start to show up.

Yes, these two hunks of cinematic cheese go well together in the same program! But I have to say, Beverly Garland makes a better leading lady in the first movie than Jeanne Carmen did in TMOPB ... and I don't even dig girls 🤭

One of the Medved brother's Golden Turkey Awards books had this listed in it's "Hall of Shame" as a fun-to-watch stinker. When they pointed out that there is in fact only ONE alligator person I laughed out loud. Obviously THE ALLIGATOR PERSON wasn't the potent box office draw of insinuating there are a whole bunch of them. This has some really good moments in it and if they had just spent more time and effort on the costume this one could have been a cut above standard 50s monster movies. Still a hoot, though!

Hard to b leave that the same studio that brought us Star Wars first released this gallon of bilge water…hydrocortisone is readily available, you wouldn’t need to get it from alligators…very silly…and if you did know how to extract it, it wouldn’t contain dna, and croc dna is not compatible with human dna that I ever heard of…and what’s with Lon Chaney doing a cheap imitation of Captain Hook while he and the Doc both share the bad teeth award from the ADA? Gotta love that swamp buggy tho…I want one..Lon baby is unloading his Wesley into the gators but they don’t run away and he doesn’t seem to hit any of them…I know he’s just annoying them with blanks…I love the fact that this was a promo for gator wrestling and people wearing white clothes just to see if New Tide will get the stains out…Fun Trivia: Doc acquires a “ cobalt bomb” and right off I remember no one ever built one…mostly because it would destroy the world, but also the name was used as a title for a medical device from the 50’s used to treat cancer…haven’t watched Piedras Blancas yet but hope it’s not as lame as this dud…

Been a fan of bad movies for many years…never seen PB before, but can state unequivocally it’s the dumbest, worst, most ridiculous cinematic mess I ever had the displeasure of sitting thru…I thought alligator People was hilarious with the Gator head on our hero Al E. Gator, along with his fellow conscripts with their heads encased in inverted guitar cases…but this Piedras thing really takes the prize…
The town has a number of cars but apparently only Fred’s Jeep actually runs because everyone in town uses it.., with its special tow bar, and bulls head Warshawsky hood ornament…I was surprised they didn’t let the monster drive it around…now that would’ve been good…
So the monster is a diplodovartebron…they lived millions of years ago…in a Czech Republic swamp…were proto crocodilians, only 2 feet long, and walked on all fours…so our “ hero” is 7 feet tall, is bipedal and lives at great ocean depth and prefers beef and dog food to his native seafood…yeah right…
No explanation is offered as to why this rubber suited two toed fruit cake likes to practice surgery without a license or a doctors bag…removes the head, but doesn’t eat it, leaves it for his friend “ Crabby” and somehow magically extends the arteries and veins so he can even more magically remove all the blood from the bodies…with a vacuum pump he bought from HarborFreight? What are you …goofy?
Interestingly the cast of this windfall of cinematic fertilizer is Don Sullivan as Fred, who does what for a living? Formerly Chase Winstead of the Giant Gila Monster, and the Doc is the former general from the War of the Worlds “Guns, Bombs, nothing stops them!”…Lucy acts like a doorbell standing outside the lighthouse going “ Ring, Ring, Ring…”
The local restaurant subs as the local arsenal with Winchester model 1894 and handguns stowed for monster emergencies…
Who wrote this? Are you kidding me?
They could have killed the monster two reels earlier by showing him the floral drapes hiding the knotty pine paneling in the lighthouse keepers bedroom…Oy vey! Fred should have hit the monster with Chase Winstead’s mini banjo…or he could have sung him the songs from the Giant Gila Monster and the monster in this flick would have gladly jumped off the lighthouse all by himself…Sheesh…
