Giant gila monster (the) - (dvd movie)
A monsterous poisonous reptile slithers from the depths of the midwest outback to wreak death and destruction on civilization. When teenagers start disappearing from lovers lane, a tough-talking sheriff and teen hot-rodder form an unlikely alliance to find the missing youths. What they discover is a mutant gila monster large enough to destroy the whole town. Between scenes of low-budget destruction, chace winstead (don sullivan of teenage zombies / monster of piedras blancas fame) sings a couple of not-bad pop songs while cowboy perennials fred graham and shug fisher make memorable appearances.
