Cheesy horror musical, released in
1963 and directed by
Ray Dennis Steckler. Starred
Cash Flagg as a young
bum named
Jerry who gets
hypnotized into becoming a
serial killer after he
angers a
gypsy fortune-teller, who also keeps a bunch of
zombies in her
basement. Besides
bizarre nightmares and occasional
competence, the
film also includes a number of
psychedelic dance sequences ('cause it was the
'60s, ya know, and everyone was
trippin' out and
dancin'). The
soundtrack includes such
swingin' hits as "
Prison Wagon", "
Shook Out of Shape", and "
The Mixed-Up Zombie Song". Worth watching just so you can
impress your friends with your
cinematic masochism.
Addendum: Servo5678 says,
"Cash Flagg is Ray Dennis Steckler's stage name. Also, this movie was episode 812 of Mystery Science Theater 3000." All too true, and I shouldn't have missed 'em...
