One of my all-time favorite 50s monster on the loose flicks. The monster here is basically a beefier version of THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON with an extra-ugly head(and since he's land-based is really closest to the villain of THE CREATURE WALKS AMONG US). Unlike ol' classic Creech though this monster rips people's heads right off and walks around with them which was pretty wild stuff for 1959! While obviously not as iconic as the Universal monsters this guy will always hold a special place in my heart and should be loved by any self-respecting monster kid out there.
Also the fact that he adorned one of my favorite punk rock band's album cover gave him extra street cred in my book!:
Originally played with OKEFENOKEE which was some crime drama set in the swamp.
