On This Day in Weird, April 22...
1959: Theatrical premiere of The Monster of Piedras
Blancas, wherein a lighthouse keeper pacifies a relict Diplovertebron
with offerings of food until nosy locals intervene and mayhem ensues. Produce
Jack Kevan previously supervised manufacture of the "gill man" suit
at Universal Studios, for The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and his
monster in this feature clearly resembles his South American cousin.
