Panic in the streets!
After the obligatory sci-fi introduction of what is about to plague us, we find that Dr. Gilbert McKenna (Robert Clark) had a slight radiological accident. Before this accident, Dr. McKenna was a known lounge lizard. Now, when the sun shines, he becomes a true lizardlike creature with a rubber mask and all. How will he be able to cope with this? What will his friends think? The local police have plans of their own.
Producer and actor Robert Clark, of whom you may remember from "The Man from Planet X,” takes us on a tour of Los Angeles. We go on a fun romp through sunny Southern California. Just looking at the 1959 technology and early pictures of Signal Hill is worth the film. I also imagine that I could have maybe seen “The Hideous Sun Demon”, as I too lived in the area and was on Signal Hill in 1959.
You may recognize many of the filming locations, such as Signal Hill.
There are two things memorable about this movie. One is when he is in his lizard persona; he squeezes some poor little rat to show how evil he truly is. The other is that Patricia Manning’s screams are seldom rivaled. Let us face it, the demon just does not know what to squeeze.
