THE MONSTER ON THE CAMPUS (1958/Gershenson/Universal) 76 Minutes Black & White. 16mm Excellent Original

A great Scientist-Changes-Himself-Into-A-Drooling-Prehistoric-Throwback film. It is still able to make a theater full of kids jump, yet make that same audience laugh each time the scientist, yet again, inadvertently poisons himself. Pretty amazing stuff. This film is denigrated several places around the internet, and in Maltin's book. Don't listen to those asswipes. The usual Universal gleam. Directed by Jack Arnold; Prod. & Music by Joseph Gershenson; Special Effects by Clifford Stine; Monster Costume by Jack Kevan; Make Up by Bud Westmore. Starring Joanna Moore, Arthur Franz, Judson Pratt, Troy Donahue, Nancy Walters, Phil Harvey, Ross Elliott, Helen Westcott, Whit Bissell, Eddie Parker.
