Just in time for Halloween, Hoyt Yeatman's 1977 student film, CANNED PERFORMANCE. This shot on 16mm film that was blatantly inspired by the films of RAY HARRYHAUSEN, is enjoyable. Speaking of which, Hoyt Yeatman would later go on to do the special effects for the 1998 remake of MIGHTY JOE YOUNG.
To know more about it, there is a report on it on CINEFANTASTIQUE by S.S. Wilson in 1978.
