Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Del Tenney was going to show the film to executives from Twentieth Century Fox to see if they would pick it up, Tenney brought in some folks to wear the monster suits for promotion. One of the monsters was in the restroom when an executive from Twentieth Century came in. The gentleman freaked out at the sight of the monster, everyone had a good laugh about it, and Twentieth Century Fox released the film.
- GoofsA detective says he's going to run a "carbon 14 test" on scales found at the first murder scene and, something to the effect of, "there's been major breakthroughs in the world of genetics." Carbon 14 is used for carbon dating, not genetics and it would be incredibly useless in a murder investigation.
- Crazy credits"Motorcycle Gang": Charter Oaks MC, Riverside, Connecticut.
- Alternate versionsIn the original script there was supposed to be a huge confrontation between the motorcycle gang and the monsters. Unfortunately Agustin Mayer, who played Mike, was unfamiliar with riding a motorcycle and crashed while trying to learn. The result was a broken leg, and his big scene was cut from the script and film.

Featured review
Believe it or not, this is NOT the worst horror movie ever made. That dishonor would have to go to either "Manos, the Hands of Fate" or perhaps "Demonwarp." At least "Party Beach" is somewhat entertaining.
Radioactive waste dumped into the ocean, just off of a popular beach party site, reanimates human skeletons and turns them into huge salamanders with cookie monster eyes and mouthfuls of hotdogs. They promptly go on a killing spree, the first victim being the obligatory slut in a bikini. After that, the monsters crash a pajama party, make off with three dimwitted broads (whose car conveniently breaks down just mere inches from the monsters hideout) and actually deign to kill a couple of drunken MEN! I mean, fully clothed men who aren't sexy or in bikinis or anything! Wow! Anyway, it's up to the towns brilliant scientist, his expressionless daughter and her hunky slab of whitebread boyfriend to stop the monsters!
Yeah, this is pretty dumb stuff, but the beach scenes are a lot of fun with some GREAT music by the Del Aires. The monsters are ridiculous, the acting is atrocious and the plot barely makes sense, but this film has an odd, innocent charm to it nevertheless.
