The movie sent up the monster and dragstrip films produced by AIP, and has been seen as a forerunner of the 1960s Beach Party movies. Creature feature creator Paul Blaisdell appeared as the monster in his She-Creature outfit (minus the bosoms).

Reviews:
“Rock and roll songs, haunted houses, Senor Wences impersonations, car crashes, secret passageways behind fireplaces, pretty girls, a really cool song called “Ghost Train,” … a Scooby-Doo unmasking at the end you won’t believe, a talking, thinking car, and even an appearance by the monster from The She Creature (1956).” William D. Carl, Cinema Knife Fight

“Let us be perfectly clear: I hate this movie. As hot rod exploitation, it fails by spending more time gabbing about cars than driving them.” 1000 Misspent Hours and Counting
“It was an abysmal comedy, a mixed bag of songs and slapstick … Between takes, Blaisdellpulled the head off of his costume to get some air and somebody told him he looked like an old condom.” Mark Thomas McGee, Faster and Furiouser: The Revised and Fattened Fable of American International Pictures
