Octaman
Horror heap from the nuclear trash!
Directed by Harry Essex
Produced by Heritage Enterprises Inc., Filmers Guild
A B-movie creature feature from the atomic-age era, blending campy monster-on-the-loose thrills with the earnest sci-fi anxieties of nuclear mutation.
A scientific team in Mexico discover a pool of unusual baby "octopus-like" specimens. Gathering a few for analysis back at the lab, it is soon discovered that the critters belong to a gangly six-foot half man/half octopus-like creature, that's pretty angry and wants her 'babies' returned…
