What happens

Curse of the Swamp Creature is a 1968 American-made for television horror science fiction film directed by Larry Buchanan. Although Buchanan was producing low-budget 16mm color remakes of American International Pictures sci-fi movies for television distribution around this time, he claimed this was an original even though it bears more than a few striking similarities to the 1957 AIP film Voodoo Woman. Buchanan later said, "Never make a swamp picture. Your film comes back, and it's all... strange." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
