The Milpitas Monster from 1976 is a classic horror-comedy that centers around a small town in California that is terrorized by a rampaging monster. The movie follows a group of quirky characters as they try to capture the creature and save their town from destruction. The film begins with a series of bizarre and inexplicable events happening in the town of Milpitas. People are disappearing, cars are being crushed, and even a house is destroyed. The townsfolk are understandably panicked and confused, and local law enforcement is at a loss for what to do.

Enter the film's protagonist, Robby (played by Douglas A. Hagdohl), a hapless pizza delivery guy who stumbles upon the monster while making a delivery. Robby is a lovable and endearing character who quickly becomes the de facto leader of the group trying to catch the monster.

Robby is joined by a colorful cast of characters, including his best friend, the bumbling redneck Burt (Scott Parker), and a conspiracy theorist named Duane (Scot A. Henderson) who believes that the monster is the result of a government experiment gone wrong. Together, they set out to capture the creature and save their town from destruction.

The Milpitas Monster itself is a sight to behold. It is a bizarre and grotesque creature that looks like a cross between a gorilla and a giant slug. The creature is brought to life with practical effects that are both impressive and hilarious. The monster's rampage through the town is both terrifying and absurd, and the film strikes just the right balance between horror and comedy.

As the group tries to capture the monster, they face a variety of obstacles and setbacks. The film is filled with suspenseful set pieces and tense moments, as the group dodges the monster's attacks and tries to outsmart it at every turn.

One of the film's greatest strengths is its humor. The Milpitas Monster is a comedy first and foremost, and it excels at delivering hilarious moments even in the midst of its horror. The film is full of witty one-liners and zany sight gags, and the cast's chemistry is a joy to watch.

Overall, The Milpitas Monster from 1976 is a fun and entertaining romp that is sure to delight fans of classic horror-comedies. Its irresistible charm and lovable characters make it a cult classic that has stood the test of time.
