The Beach Girls and the Monster (1965)

A young girl is killed at the beach in Malibu. Professor Otto Lindsay suspects that it is some form of mutated fish.
I want to preface this review by stating that I am of the opinion that gawd-awful bad can be....well....good. After all, one of my favorite movies was Plan 9 From Outer Space. You gotta love cardboard tombstones that bend when brushed against.
With that said, Monster From the Surf, a.k.a. The Beach Girls and The Monster, is a masterpiece. I go into a science fiction trance every time I hear that exotic, muffled trumpet music whenever the cheating wife of the scientist is shown. I love that little beach ditty, "There's A Monster in the Surf, Yeah, Yeah". And I roll over laughing when the Lion puppet comes out and the beautiful brunette beach bunny talks to it in her cutsie little baby voice.
