About Teenagers Battle the Thing
Archaeology students uncover a prehistoric manster… part man, part monster, and all bad attitude with a cheap costume. This film was completed in 1960 but the only theatrical release it received was in the director's hometown. The movie remained unreleased until 1975 when the director used the footage in Curse of Bigfoot.
Directed by Dave Flocker, Teenagers Battle the Thing leans on a strong ensemble — Bob Clymire, Bill Simonsen, Jan Swihart — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 1963.
