I agree with most of the posts that this was a pretty good 'bad' movie (as cheap as it was I thought the monster was creepy looking!) But didn't anyone notice that the movie is one big gay joke?
The whole 'in the closet' thing
The way the monster reacts to the hunky guy (there's no reason to imply that the monster was female)
It's final march to, where else, San Francisco!
I don't think it affected the film at all. But it's really weird that a goofy, low-budget, comedy-horror movie would try to have some kind of 'message' like this. And I'm not even sure whether its pro or con!
