sody pop and hot rod and teen lingo . this be definitely a movie out of the 50 . no snake or dinosaur or alligator and but a giant gila monster snake on delicious people . sheriff jeff ( fred graham ) be at a loss and the town bigwig ( bob thompson ) be on his case . but and there be one teen ( don sullivan ) around that seem to have the knowledge and gumption to do something . for his first two film ken curtis ( gunsmoke ) call on special effect whiz ray kellogg ( the green beret and the killer shrew ) to direct his own story . not a bad tale for the time .
