This story goes like this... "The demented archaeologist Dr. Andrew Forbes (George Zucco) discovers a living, breathing serpent creature known to the Aztecs as Quetzalcoatl (the Killer Bird God) and accidentally kills his wife by giving her one of the beast's feathers, causing the creature to track her down and slaughter her. Now Dr. Forbes uses this twisted knowledge to extract revenge upon his enemies by placing one of the serpent's feathers on his intended victim and letting the beast loose to wreak havoc.".jpg)

Dr. Lambert plays the perfect stooge and falls prey to the winged serpent... I'm pretty sure that's a pheasant feather!.jpg)

These two shots of Quetzalcoatl are great, it looks fairly frightening!.jpg)
The 'lamestream media' bring in people who can actually solve the mystery! I think that's a young Richard Crane there, holding that gizmo with the antenna..jpg)

The reporters stake out an area where the monster had been spotted... Wait, what's that?!.jpg)

no one says QUETZALCOATL better than El Zucco...but hes no Cthulu ;o)
Pretty good little south of the border style mood piece.
I kind of like this movie, but it is very stodgy. I actually wrote about this a while back because I love 'Q: The Winged Serpent.' It's an interesting precursor to that film.
I do like how the Aztec God is so small but also has giant feathers. Weird. Good stuff and I'm actually surprised to see someone else talk about it.
If you talk about 'Star Wreck' next, I'll really be surprised!
