Witness the awesome badness that is Blood Beach, starring John Saxon, my favorite B-Movie (maybe he's actually D-List?) regular. The plot, if you could call it that, surrounds the mysterious disappearances of teenagers along a Southern California beach. We get treated to plenty of bad acting as buxom babes are sucked under the sand by some hungry, faceless horror. Turns out the monster is some mutant sand worm (I think). Maybe a variant on the polychaete Nereis virens. It's hard to know, since we get to see just a few seconds of the beast in the final minutes of the film.
I'm sure Blood Beach paved the way for the whole Tremors movie series in the early 90's that reignited Kevin Bacon's career. Wow, there really are only six degrees of separation between Kevin Bacon and something like a clam worm!
My last bit of viral mimetic transfer goes out to Doug at Gossamer Tapestry to dig up his favorite spooky science or ocean-themed flick.
