This was reportedly a regional horror film that was only shown locally. Filmed in Ontario, California. I don't know what it cost. It's possibly it still made a profit. Years later, they shot more material, added narration and released it as Curse of the Bigfoot (1975). which is sort of interesting because Curse of the Bigfoot was in color and the version of Teenagers Battle the Thing on Tubi is black & white.
Teenagers looked really old in the 1950's and the boys in this movie were taller than the adults. High school kids go with their teacher to help out on some archeological excavation which leads to the discovery of a mummified ape-like creature that comes to life.
They should have had the creature kill a few teenagers. The poor thing didn't seem like much of a threat. It was an astonishing scientific discovery far beyond anything they could have ever imagined, and I won't give it away, but look at what they did to it.
The landscape was impressive.
Free on Tubi.
