31 Days of Film Day 13: The Astounding She-Monster
Good gravy, do the bad films ever end? Upon request of my brother to watch something "with a hot girl in it" we decided on this incredibly awful Z rate film.This was essentially made as Drive-In filler so that necking teenagers would have an excuse to stay out later it fails to do anything but put you to sleep. Is it any wonder that Ed Wood was a consultant on this film and that the director Ronnie Ashcroft was a friend of Wood? It sure stinks of Eddie Wood, that's for sure.
What's interesting is that the She-Monster, credited as Shirley Kilpatrick, is believed (at least according to imdb) to be a much younger and much thinner Shirley Stoler who would later gain fame in The Honeymoon Killers and then as Mrs. Steve on Pee Wee's Playhouse. Now that's scary!
