A B-movie favorite, The Giant Gila Monster features hammy dialogue, snappy song, and, of course, "special" effects as the titular giant lizard terrorizes a small Texas town.

A teenage hot rodder and his buddies meet a large lizard that devours trees.

An enormous lizard frightens a Texas community and a daring teenager steps in to wipe out the creature.

A monster of unknown origin stalks Lover's Lane in search of fresh teenagers to devour in this monster-sized bash filled with rock 'n' roll, hot rods, poodle skirts, and prehistoric lizards the size of a Greyhound bus! Teens realize the cause of an escalating chain of destruction in their sleepy town, but authorities refuse to believe them until the corpses start piling up. Starring Ken Curtis (Festus from TV's "Gunsmoke") and directed by Ray Kellogg (The Green Berets), this is great and fabulous fun from the nifty Fifties, newly remastered like you've never seen it before!
