Interesting facts
Monster a Go-Go! is a 1965 American horror film directed by Bill Rebane and Herschell Gordon Lewis. The film is considered to be one of the worst films ever made.
Production
The film had an unusual production history. Bill Rebane knew the 7 ft 6¾ in (2.31 m) Henry Hite socially and was inspired to write a science fiction story featuring him. Production began in 1962 on Terror at Half Day, and filming in the Chicago metro area continued off and on into 1963 before being abandoned when Rebane ran out of funding.
Several years later, Lewis needed a second film to show with his own feature, Moonshine Mountain. To Terror Lewis added a few extra scenes, included some new dialogue, and then released it, creating an odd, disjointed story with little continuity.
