Teenage Monster (1958)


Howco International
Directed by Jacques R. Marquette
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Image Entertainment)

Tragedy strikes a family of gold miners in the old west when a meteor crashes near their mine, killing the father and injuring their young child. Years later, the boy has become a hairy, man-killing monster, with his overprotective mother shielding him from the law. She saves a local girl from his clutches, but has to buy off her silence. However, the girl takes advantage of the situation by blackmailing the mother for more money as well as using the boy-monster to carry out revenge on people she doesn't like. Horribly acted on a shoestring budget, but this strange western-horror hybrid easily falls into the "so bad it's good" category.
