Teenage Monster

December 25, 1957 premier

The story is set in a town in the American Southwest. Young Charles Cannon Stephen Parker, after seeing a meteor crash in the desert heads out to investigate it. He becomes exposed to rays from the meteor and ages rapidly. He is now about ten years older, hairy, aggressive, and psychopathic. His mother hides him in the basement to protect him from the law.Jacques R. Marquette made the film because his company needed a cheap film to run as a double feature with The Brain from Planet Arous 1958. The working title of the film was Meteor Monster, but it was changed to Teenage Monster in an attempt to cash in on the success of horror movies from other distributors that used the word teenage in their titles. When released to television, the title was changed back to Meteor Monster. ........
