A B horror film which, despite its simplicity, is a cornerstone of the genre. Taking a realistic approach, THE MONOLITH MONSTERS stars Williams as a geologist who, during a meteor shower, discovers that fragmented crystals have dropped into the Arizona desert. They grow larger by absorbing
silicone from people's bodies, instantly turning them into stiffs. A rainstorm nourishes the crystals and they grow to mammoth proportions. How can Williams prevent his own destruction? Will Albright get her schoolchildren safely out of town? Can world domination be stopped? Of course. It's easy;
the monsters can be wiped out with common table salt.
