I love the scene when the co-workers of the scientist, exposed to radiation which now makes into the Hideous Sun Demon whenever sunlight falls on him, is explained his predicament by a doctor. Refusing to give them a straight answer, he instead launches into several minutes of babbling on about the evolutionary process and mutations (the pictures he shows of supposedly mutant animals are so fuzzy it's difficult to tell what's supposed to be wrong with them). And at no point do the interrupt him, completely content to listen to his irrelevant musings without ever demanding "So... what happened to him?"
That scene alone goes a long way in establishing the badness that is Hideous Sun Demon. And that's not even the worst of it. No, that doesn't even bring in the hideously cheap monster outfit and the scenes of our protagonist frolicking with a Marilyn Monroe look-alike in the surf, when he should have locked himself up a dark basement. It's not quite Ed Wood bad - some stretches are rather too boring for that level of badness - but it's still a minor classic in the genre of bad 50s sci-fi.
