Line 1:
{{work}}
A 1986 monster movie spoof by [[Troma]] in which the titular creature emerges from its lair (guess where [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|that is]]) and begins slaughtering citizens in a small Californian town. It's up to would-be newspaper reporter Richard Clark and scientist Diane Bennett to find a way of killing it. Very very campy, but doesn't take itself at all seriously, and is amusing if viewed in the right frame of mind.
