Tonight's Stinker: Creature Features - The Milpitas Monster(1976)

Tonight's Stinker Creature Features - The Milpitas Monster(1976) https://youtu.be/qf9v0RQqauk?si=C-fj-t_ssySciyKV The host of Creature Features has scored an interview with the director of this college thesis flick.... Opens with a narration about the history of the city of Milpitas California, then cuts to the good citizens of the town setting out their garbage, only to find it strewn all over their lawns the next morning...... Then a trash truck gets attacked by a giant guy in a bugsuit that can fly.... The plot meanders, & takes it's time developing characters.... Has a nerdy "protagonist" who ends up not doing much, teenage trouble makers who save the day, & a town drunk.... Most of the jokes fall flat.... They introduce the monster first, then start throwing in the telltale giant footprints... The director lays out some good trivia & reveals a few in jokes behind the story....
