‘Swim for your life!’
Creature from the Haunted Sea is a 1961 American comedy horror film directed by Roger Corman from a screenplay by Charles B. Griffith (The Little Shop of Horrors).
The movie is a parody of spy, gangster, and monster movies, played by Robert Towne under the pseudonym “Edward Wain”), who goes under the code name “Sparks Moran” in order to infiltrate a criminal gang led by Renzo Capetto (Antony Carbone), who is trying to transport a colonel, a group of exiled Cuban nationals, and a large portion of the Cuban treasury out of the country.

When Capetto tries to kill the Cubans guarding the money and blames their deaths on a legendary sea monster, he soon finds out that the monster is real.
The film was shot in Puerto Rico back-to-back with two other Corman productions, The Last Woman on Earth and Battle of Blood Island, from a script that had previously been filmed as Naked Paradise and Beast from Haunted Cave.

” …the best performances come from Beach Dickerson as a swabbie who communicates with animal sounds, and the dancing Cuban generals. Dickerson also built the hilariously awkward monster from army helmets, an oilcloth, pipe cleaners, and ping pong balls (and it shows).” Videohound’s Complete Guide to Cult Flicks and Trash Pics book
