Creature From The Haunted Sea

Creature From The Haunted Sea
1961 - 63 mins

As befits a Corman horror-comedy from the turn of the 60’s, the script for Creature from the Haunted Sea is absolute mayhem.

The plot centers on a gang of criminals who offer to transport a band of exiles from communist Cuba - and a strong box of the treasury, which they intends to keep for themselves. »
