31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN DAY 10: PHANTOM FROM 10,000 LEAGUES 1955 (MGM)

MGM gives us a beautiful widescreen print of this very low budget sci fi flick about a radioactive rock in the ocean that also mutates sea life. The rock is guarded by one of the most goofy yet unforgettable monsters in screen history.

Kent Taylor is a special investigator looking into several strange murders in the area. He comes upon a doctor played by Michael Whalen and his beautiful daughter played by Cathy Downs.

The plot also involves spies played by Phillip Pine and the luscious Helene Stanton, who are trying to steal the radioactive formula the doctor has. This originally played with Day The World Ended and made quite a double bill.ovie isn't bad and you do get two wonderful pieces of eye candy in Stanton and Downs.

Cathy Downs has always been a favorite of mine and her tragic story and death at the age of 50 is always sad to read. Recommended movie for a monster filled Halloween.
