"The Giant Gila Monster" (1959) is the tale of how a large creature wreaks havoc on a small town. The hero of the story is Chase Winstead, a teen who works as a mechanic. It all begins when two of Chase's friends are missing. They went out for a date one night, and never returned. Could it be that the two teens were in "trouble" and eloped? Or was it something bigger? Yes, that's it. It must have been...

a Giant Gila Monster!

While we were there, we ate at the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theatre. At this restaurant, they show the previews from old sci-fi movies. The preview for "The Giant Gila Monster" just impressed us so much, that we decided we had to find the movie when we got home. Eventually, I saw it on Mystery Science Theater 3000, and taped it. A few years later, I found an actual copy of the movie, and of course bought it. And that is how "The Giant Gila Monster" found its way into my heart.
