THE FILM: "Monster On the Campus" (American, 1958)

THE PREMISE: A prehistoric fish, a coelacanth, arrives at Dunsfield University for study. A student's (Troy Donahue) dog laps up some of the fish's blood on the floor and turns into a savage prehistoric wolf which attacks a woman on campus. The professor sticks his hand in the fish's mouth and is cut by its sharp teeth, thereby infecting him with the curse. Some creature commits murder on campus. Students observe a common dragonfly suck the blood of the coelacanth and turn into a ptderodactyl. Mayhem follows.

BEST LINE IN THE WHOLE FILM: "Watch closely, and you'll see evolution in reverse!"
