Giant from the Unknown is a 1958 B movie released by Astor Pictures. The film stars Ed Kemmer, Sally Fraser, and Buddy Baer. Baer, who played Vargas, the Giant in this film, also played a giant in Jack and the Beanstalk (1952), starring Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. A giant, named Vargas (Baer), who was part of an expedition of Spanish Conquistadors, who vanished in the mountains of California in the 16th century is revived by a lightning bolt from a state of suspended animation. He kills a police officer by breaking every bone in his body, then proceeds to terrorize the town.
