Giant from the Unknown

A Richard Cunha creation, Giant from the Unknown tells the tale of a group of scientists who happen upon a petrified lizard in the mountains of California. During examination the lizard comes back to life, proving the theory of suspended animation. On to his next conquest, scientist Wayne Brooks (Ed Kemmer) goes in search of a legendary Spanish giant by the name of Vargas that lived 500 years earlier and that Brooks theorizes is in a state of suspended animation. All too quickly the scientist learns his hunch is correct when a lightning bolt reanimates Vargas, releasing him from sleep and sending him on a homicidal rampage. (Echo Bridge Entertainment)
