PROJECT TERROR: THE SHE CREATURE (1956)

When I was a kid growing up in San Antonio, TX, I loved trying to stay up late on Friday Nights watching the Late show Project Terror on KENS 5 TV. PROJECT TERROR: THE SHE CREATURE (1956)
The She-Creature, or The She Creature, is a 1956 American black-and-white science fiction horror film, released by American International Pictures from a script by Lou Rusoff (brother-in-law of AIP executive Samuel Z. Arkoff). It was produced by Alex Gordon, directed by Edward L. Cahn, and stars Chester Morris, Marla English, and Tom Conway, and casting Frieda Inescort and El Brendel in smaller roles. The producers hired Marla English because they thought she bore a strong resemblance to Elizabeth Taylor.
The monster costume was created by master make-up artist Paul Blaisdell and is considered one of his best. Parts of the costume were re-used in three later AIP films. Blaisdell nicknamed the monster "Cuddles". The costume was eventually destroyed in a flood that hit his Topanga Canyon home in 1979.
The film was released by AIP as a double feature with It Conquered the World.
