''Devil Monster'' (1936) is an American adventure film directed by S. Edwin Graham. The working title of the film was ''The Great Manta'' and it was shown in Great Britain as ''The Sea Fiend'' in 1938. Also, a Spanish-language version entitled ''El diablo del mar'', directed by Juan Duval using some of the same actors and footage, was released in the United States in 1936 by Cinexport Films.

This version of the film is now in the public domain and is available online at Internet Archive. Cast *Barry Norton as Robert Jackson * Blanche Mehaffey as Louise * Jack Barty as Capt.
