Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Histologically confirmed squamous cell carcinoma of the skin (SCCS) that is a) locally

             or c) considered to have aggressive features including the following: tumors 2 cm or
             more, tumors invading deep tissues such as muscle, cartilage or bone; tumors showing
             perineural invasion, and/or tumors metastatic to loco-regional lymph nodes. Patients
             may have had prior surgical interventions or been treated with investigational agents
             with residual or recurrent disease

          -  Tumor suitable for direct or ultrasound-guided injection defined as at least one
             cutaneous, subcutaneous, or nodal lesion, or aggregate of lesions, >= 10 mm in
             diameter

          -  Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 2

          -  No prior treatment with panitumumab or talimogene laherparepvec for advanced disease

          -  Prior surgery or radiation is allowed if there is documented progression in the
             radiated/resected area or elsewhere by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors
             (RECIST) criteria version (v) 1.1

          -  Measurable disease by RECIST criteria v 1.1

          -  Patients with a history of hematologic or solid organ transplant will be considered if
             they do not require high dose steroids or high dose immunosupressants for disease
             control or control of transplant rejection, and have adequate hematologic, renal, and
             hepatic function as specified below. Current medications must be reviewed with
             transplant pharmacy team to exclude potentially serious interactions and case
             discussed with the study principal investigator (PI)

          -  Second primary malignancy only if treatment would interfere with the patient?s
             participation in this trial in the opinion of the treating physician. Clear exceptions
             are 1) patient had a second primary malignancy but has been treated and disease free
             for at least 3 years, 2) in situ carcinoma (e.g., in situ carcinoma of the cervix)
             and, 3) additional skin cancers that have been definitively treated by surgery and/or
             radiation. Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia will be allowed if their blood
             counts are within acceptable hematologic parameters and if they are not currently
             requiring cytotoxic or biologic anticancer treatment (supportive treatment such as
             intravenous immunoglobulin [IVIG] is permitted)

          -  Patients with autoimmune disorders will be considered if they do not require high dose
             steroids or other immunosuppressants for disease control. Prednisone in daily doses up
             to 10 mg and inhaled steroids are acceptable

          -  Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1500/uL

          -  Platelet count >= 100,000/mm^2

          -  Hemoglobin >= 9 g/dL

          -  Total bilirubin < 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN); if patient has
             conditions of congenital hyperbilirubinemia, then patient must have isolated
             hyperbilirubinemia (e.g., no other liver function test abnormalities) with maximum
             bilirubin < 2 x institutional ULN

          -  Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =< 2.5 x
             institutional ULN in absence of liver metastases; =< 5 x ULN in presence of liver
             metastases

          -  Alkaline phosphatase < 2.5 x institutional ULN

          -  Creatinine < 1.5 x institutional ULN or calculated creatinine clearance >= 60 mL/min
             as estimated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Pregnant women. Women of childbearing age must be willing to undergo a pregnancy test
             prior to therapy and to use adequate contraception (e.g., hormonal or barrier method
             of contraception or abstinence) for the duration of the study and 6 months thereafter.
             Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this
             study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. Menopausal status will be
