The Monster of Piedras Blancas1959
“HE PREYS ON HUMAN FLESH!”
Directed by Irvin Berwick
The premise
An old lighthouse keeper who lives with his daughter secretly keeps a prehistoric fish-man by feeding it scraps and fish. One day he misses the feeding and all hell breaks loose.
Horror Vault's take
Deep in the rugged California coastal town of Piedras Blancas, a reclusive lighthouse keeper harbors a dark and dangerous secret that has coexisted uneasily with the local community — until a single lapse in routine unleashes something ancient and deadly. When townsfolk begin turning up dead along the shoreline, the quiet seaside community is thrown into panic and the truth behind the keeper's secret can no longer stay hidden. Part late-50s creature feature, part brooding small-town mystery, this low-budget chiller wears its monster proudly and delivers the goods for fans of the era's scaly screen menaces.
