    • Trivia
      Horror author Stephen King cites this as one of his favorite films.
    • Goofs
      Pure sodium is a highly reactive metal. It is kept stored in oil or gasoline (not loose in tubs, as portrayed in the movie), as the moisture in air is enough to trigger a violent exothermic reaction.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Gavin: Of course! This creature needs the ordinary necessities of human life - proteins, fats, sugars and so forth. But since his organs are so decomposed that they can neither produce nor retain the oxygen necessary for its survival, it needs the only food which can keep it alive.

      Hank Green: Blood?

      Dr. Gavin: Human blood. If a human body - a drowned person - were attacked by tiny sea plants which became parasites and completely infiltrated that human body before it had a chance to decompse, would the body be considered dead or alive?

      Hank Green: Dead?

      Dr. Gavin: No - it's still alive. But it's changed into a - well, is it a plant or an animal?

      Hank Green: It's both?

      Dr. Gavin: It's a giant protozoa!

    • Crazy credits
      "Motorcycle Gang": Charter Oaks MC, Riverside, Connecticut.
    • Alternate versions
      In the original script there was supposed to be a huge confrontation between the motorcycle gang and the monsters. Unfortunately Agustin Mayer, who played Mike, was unfamiliar with riding a motorcycle and crashed while trying to learn. The result was a broken leg, and his big scene was cut from the script and film.

    Horror of Party Beach, The (1964)

    ** 1/2 (out of 4)

    Insane cult classic from director Del Tenney who also made the infamous I Drink Your Blood. Dumb scientists are dumping toxic waste into the ocean, which in turn creates half fish, half zombie monsters that start attacking the locals and drinking their blood. This is one of those infamous bad films that has gained a huge cult following over the years and it's easy to see why since this film has pretty much everything. This is certaily a very poor movie but there's just a certain charm that keeps it entertaining throughout. We've got jocks, bikers, sluts, sea monsters, bad rock 'n roll, insane dialogue and everything else. The sea monsters are some of the dumbest looking monsters ever created but that adds to the charm. The dialogue is also very silly but this here gets plenty of laughs as well. If you're into these 'so bad they're good" films then this here is a must see. The original rock 'n roll songs in the film are also terrible, especially "Zombie stomp".
