Description
----------------
of Northern Sweden. Believing it to be an unusual meteor, a team of 
geologists race to the site just in time to be menaced by a giant, 
furry, monster-faced something-or-other that looks like a drunken 
Chewbacca. the creature waddles around, wrecks a Lapp village, and 
makes like a puppy dog in heat for American figure skating champion 
Barbara Wilson. Carrying the gal in its hairy arms, the beast takes 
Wilson to the spacecraft where she has a close encounter with the 
spacecraft?s alien inhabitants...
A Swedish-American co-production from the director of The Mole People 
and Sweden?s first (and so far only) science fiction-giant-monster 
movie, TERROR IN THE MIDNIGHT SUN was shot in English, feature a 
surprise peek-a-boo nude scene and is presented in its original uncut 
version for the very first time in the U.S.!
PLUS: INVASION OF THE ANIMAL PEOPLE, the much different, much altered 
U.S. version of the same film from schlockmeister supreme Jerry 
Warren (Teenage Zombies), who cut and re-edited the original, changed 
the plot, and added new shot-in L.A. footage featuring John Carradine 
as host and narrator, in addition to lots of utterly pointless scenes 
including an unbilled bit by Warren regular Katherine Victor (The 
Wild World of Batwoman) that will positively make your head spin!
