This movie is (marginally) better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. If you don't believe me, just ask The Monster.
Worst Cover Copy
The Cover That Sucked Up a Storm
Nice drawing on the cover. But the monster doesn't have eyebeams. It never menaces anyone that way. And on the back cover, they can't decide if it's a crustacean, mollusk, or what. Is it a snail? Slug? They hedge their bets by referring to it once as each of the above.
