And when the mission’s sole survivor (Steve Railsback, The Stunt Man) sets out to destroy her, he comes face to face with the most charming (and horrifying) being he’s ever known. Will he be able to destroy the lovely vampiress…or will he become yet another victim of her fatal charm?

And when, after nights of being tormented by savage shrieks and unearthly cries, Karen ventures into the forest to find answers, she makes a terrifying discovery. Now she must fight not only for her life…but for her very soul!

A brain-dead sheriff named Lance, a stolid FBI agent named Jeff and a well equipped female paleontologist team up with Colonel Patrick Hendry (Kenneth Tobey), a grumpy retired monster fighter, to battle a 60 foot, three-eyed cross between man and dinosaur. Creatively named ‘Monstersaurus Erectus’, this could be the dumbest monsters in the history of cinema. Using soundtracks and extensive footage from many old films, this spoof/homage of 1950’s horror/sci-fi/creature films brings back many favorite actors from these classic movies, some reprising their former roles, to help destroy a massively cheesy, atomic, stop-motion monster that stomps its way through scenes of mass destruction (depicted via extensive clips from old movies), intent on the obliteration of Los Angeles. A direct homage to the horror/sci-fi/creature features of the 50s and 60s, right down to the poor quality film, rubber monster, bad dialogue, numerous puns and negligible budget. What makes this film so unique is the gathering of luminaries that came out of the woodwork to participate, including the original stars of classic films like The Thing From Another World (Kenneth Tobey and Robert Cornwaithe) and War of the Worlds (Ann Robinson and Les Tremayne), Revenge of the Creature (John Agar) and Plan 9 From Outer Space and Night of the Ghouls (Paul Marco). In addition to the stars of the ‘Golden Age of horror/sci-fi/creature films, we’re treated to the addition of 80s and 90s scream queens, Linnea Quigley and Michelle Bauer. The Naked Monster has something for everybody.
