Arthur Franz stars in this far-out science fiction film as Donald, a professor of paleontology who receives a prehistoric fish at all-American Dunston University. First a student's dog licks up some of the fish's spilled blood and sprouts fangs and tries to kill his owner. Then the professor cuts his hand on the fish's mouth, goes wild and kills his friend Molly Reardon (Helen Westcott). He doesn't remember what happened, and it doesn't much bother him, but his girlfriend (Joanna Moore) is awfully worried. Later, a dragonfly lands on the fish and then assumes prehistoric size, but the brilliant professor still can't figure out what's going on. He accidentally smokes some of the dragonfly's blood in a pipe and he's off on another killing spree. Whit Bissell is the head of Dunston's science department, and scoffs at the whole nonsensical business. Troy Donahue and Nancy Walters are the good-hearted teenagers who try and help. It's a minor entry in the 1950s science fiction genre, but MONSTER ON THE CAMPUS is fun in an off-kilter sort of way. Jack Arnold (CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, TARANTULA) directed the film from a script by David Duncan. Eddie Parker plays the monster. [More]

Agreeably silly Jekyll and Hyde yarn with great hokey monster.
