the giant gila monster be the story of a former child star name scotty beckett go under the name of don sullivan in an effort to salvage his career and someone name ken curtis who make a decision that be an actor be far good than be a horror movie producer . i couldn not help notice those fact when i watch this movie . it always fun to look behind the scene and see a another story unfold over the present one . but go back to the movie and it be another one of those grade b quicky meant to try and cash in on the teenage monster craze of the late 50 . cheap set and a pet lizard and a bunch of nutty teenager make up for just about all of this show . the story be routine with the hero come out ahead . it not a bad movie if you like cult show . if you see it around and go ahead and watch it . it will make you laugh and think about the good old day .
