Track of the Moon Beast
The Rising Moon Creates a Monster
Directed by Richard Ashe
Produced by Lizard Productions Inc., Brandon Films
A low-budget sci-fi horror film about a man cursed by a meteorite to transform into a murderous reptilian creature, anchored by a romantic subplot about a woman trying to save her afflicted lover.
Professor "Johnny Longbow" Salina, a man who really knows his stews, introduces Paul Carlson to the practical-joking Kathy Nolan. Paul and Kathy seem to hit it off rather well but, during a meteor storm, a meteorite fragment strikes Paul, burying itself deep in his skull, which has the unpleasant side-effect of causing Paul to mutate into a giant reptilian monster at night and go on murderous rampages. It turns out that this sort of thing has happened before, when Professor Salina rediscovers ancient Native American paintings detailing a similar event many centuries ago. Kathy, however, still loves Paul, and tries to save him.
