Monolith Monsters, The (1957) d. Sherman, John (USA)

After crashing near a town in Death Valley, fragments of a meteor expand and grow when touched by water. When the resulting stalagmite marauders threaten the nearby town, it’s up to Incredible Shrinking Man star Grant Williams to find answers quick, especially when he discovers that contact with the fragments turns his neighbors into solid rock.

THE MONSTER OF PIEDRAS BLANCAS (1959) movie review

Monster of Piedras Blancas, The (1959) d. Berwick, Irvin (USA)

With screenwriter H. Haile Chace aking more than a few cues from a certain inhabitant from the Black Lagoon down the way, this amusing low-budget creature feature takes place in an oceanside village suddenly menaced by a scaly biped with a taste for human blood and lighthouse keeper John Harmon's sexy daughter Jeanne Carmen.
