Details

• Release Year: 1966
• Genre: Horror
• Plot: What is wackier than a Living Mummy? How about a Jellyfish Man!; ; Yup, a Human Jellyfish and a Mummified-Corpse-That-Turns-Into-Animals kill college coeds in this Swamp-Horror Double Feature from director William Grefe!; ; Four archaeological students deep in the Florida Everglades activate the Death Curse of Tartu when they start making out and go-go dancing on an ancient Indian burial ground. This so annoys Tartu, a Seminole witch doctor dead some 400 years, that his decomposed corpse comes to life, changes into a variety of animals, and promptly starts killing everyone. But when the students' teacher finds Tartu's resting place and tries to destroy his remains, Tartu climbs out of the casket, turns into his young pre-rotted self and goes chasing after the leading lady…; ; Plus: a mad marine biologist sneask off to an underwater lab, transforms himself into a mutant half-man, half-jellyfish, and attacks college kids with his Sting of Death! Why? Because he's in love! Really. And with his giant bulbous head (that looks like a man trapped inside a plastic garbage bag), the jellyfish man may very well be the single most hilarious-looking movie monster yet committed to film. A kitsch classick unseen for decades, Sting of Death has finally been digitally transferred from the original 35mm negative so now you too can join Special Singing Guest Star Neil Sedaka and do the dance craze that didn't sweep the nation: the jilla-jalla 'Jellyfish!'
