I know I do.
Pure shlocky fun!
Below you can see what happens when ol' Gila shows up at the teen dance hungry for Rock & Roll Action, but gets subjected to saccharine chump Don Sullivan's warbling instead.
Surely the shindig would have been much more... umm... SMASHING... if Evans Carroll & The Tempos had been booked as the musical entertainment.
Sho'nuff.

really kogar? wow! is he in the credits?
ask HG about it, i think i remember him mentioning it on an old episode of haunted shack theater...
Chicago's Son of Svengoolie did a mashup of Giant Gila Monster and Hot Rods from Hell, which he aired as Hot Rods from Gila. It was amazing how well the two flicks could be edited together, and made for a groovy film. Wish they'd put that out on DVD.
