The Saga of the Viking Women and Their Voyage to the Waters of the Great Sea Serpent (also known as The Viking Women and the Sea Serpent) is a 1957 film directed by Roger Corman. It starred Abby Dalton, Susan Cabot, and June Kenney. It was released by American International Pictures as a double feature with The Astounding She-Monster. The film was featured in an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Production

Roger Corman was inspired to make the film after being impressed by a presentation from special effects experts Jack Rabin and Irving Block. He later felt the budget was inadequate to execute what they wanted and said the film taught him an important lesson not to make a big scale movie on a low budget.[1]

On the first day of filming, the actress Corman had cast in the lead, Kipp Hamilton, held out for more money, so he fired her and promoted second lead Abby Dalton instead.[1]
