HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM 'THE BEACH GIRLS AND THE MONSTER'

Title: THE BEACH GIRLS AND THE MONSTER Year: 1965 Camp Value: ***

One of those b-movies that's so extremely/noticeably low budget it's almost a z-movie, bordering on what looks like snuff film footage while coming out right before the hippie 1960's was fully ignited...

So the even-then-old-school surf guitar soundtrack for THE BEACH GIRLS AND THE MONSTER is more loose and groovy than usual, even when a monster so fake it's intentionally hilarious starts murdering hot bikini babes right on the beach, even in the daylight...

Yet there's actually a semi-intriguing, noir-ish melodrama involving a rich husband, his creepy friend, his affable son with a cute young girlfriend (Elaine DuPont), all being manipulated by this horror's human antagonist in bickering fatale Sue Casey as the patriarch's wife...

She's got more venom than that bug-eyed masked gill-monster that winds up being revealed right out of SCOOBY-DO but, no matter how god-awful this BEACH is, it does kinda flow, somehow.
