A monsterous poisonous reptile slithers from the depths of the midwest
outback to wreak death and destruction on civilization. When teenagers start
disappearing from lover's lane, a tough-talking sheriff and teen hot-rodder form
an unlikely alliance to find the missing youths. What they discover is a mutant
Gila monster large enough to destroy the whole town. Between scenes of
low-budget destruction, Chace Winstead (Don Sullivan of Teenage Zombies /
Monster Of Piedras Blancas fame) sings a couple of not-bad pop songs while
cowboy perennials Fred Graham and Shug Fisher make memorable appearances. The
Giant Gila Monster was filmed in Texas back-to-back with another Ray Kellogg/Ken
Curtis production, The Killer Shrews.
