Description: In this 1970s student film from the Waco Arts Center, a large puppet monster constructed of coffee cans, cereal boxes, bottle caps, and other materials gobbles trash. The camera first surveys the puppet's constructed parts, finally revealing its swiveling head and bright red eyes. The puppet's large claws then grab cardboard boxes, tin cans, and scraps of paper, placing them into its wide flapping mouth.
