The Winged Serpent vs. the Chrysler Building
What are the top ten most underrated movie monsters of all time? Den of Geek places the city's own Winged Serpent on their list—a monster certainly worth revisiting. Have you seen her work? (She did make Bernie Hou's movie map!) Here's the trailer, circa 1982, where the narrator notes: "Today in New York City, the Winged Serpent Rises, the Winged Serpent Rules." It's pretty amazing:
According to IMDB, the plot surrounds a group of New York policemen who "are bemused by a spate of reports of a giant flying lizard that has been spotted around the rooftops of New York, which they assume to be bogus until the lizard starts to eat people. An out-of-work, ex-con piano player is the only person who knows the location of the monster's nest and is determined to turn the knowledge to his advantage, but will his gamble pay off or will he end up as lizard food?" DUN DUN DUN. [via PopCandy]
