Take "Frankenstein, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Wolf Man, The Blob" and just about every other 50's horror film, then take a human sized "King Kong" and a town who's police and citizens are just as dumb or dumber then Moe, Larry and Curly, put them together and you get "Scholck."

"Schlock" was relased in 1973 and was the debut film of John Landis who directed such films as "Animal House, The Blues Brothers" and "An American Werewolf in London"  to name a few. Landis is also the the man in the ape suit. The scene when Landis rips apart the car would later be used in Clint Eastwood's worst acting job in the film "Any Which Way but Loose". The movie is just pretty much similar to "King Kong" but with comedy and the movies up top. It can get repetitive at times but overall he did good for his first film.
