Fun fact from a WMWM sub: My uncle was a grip/boom mic operator/gopher on this flick and when he thought I was 'mature' enough, he shared with me the fact that all the workers on set were gonzo on The Reefer! Every time they watched dailies they howled in laughter but the checks cleared so on they went. He loved it when I shared that I'd seen the flick at a drive in and I too was using The Demon Weed and our VW was rockin' with laughs. What a world eh? WOOF!
Yup, just a basic outline. People tend to throw around the 'Worst movie ever' moniker, but this movie is up there. The only problem is, it's actually far-out and really creative. So if someone out there is a fan of bad movies, then this one is a must see! Cheers from Canada
All I can think about is how happy Mark must have been when he realized that he could insert himself in the movie just by filming in a pitch black room without needing to perform his timeconsuming greenscreen magic.
Believe it or not, shooting this skit was actually kind of a pain in the ass since I don't have any barn doors on any of the lights in my studio, so I had to make one out of a cardboard box and black construction paper in order to focus the light and even then I still didn't get the exact result I was looking for. I would have actually preferred doing a typical green screen skit!
So...like pretty much any decade in Hollywood? The cast of 90210 bring all likr between 35-30 year olds supposedly Iall in highschool comes to mind lol
In their defence, I've seen pictures of 80s highschoolers and they looked like they were paying alimony, child support and a student debt at the same time
I am so thrilled to see this one! I have always loved TISCWSLABMUZ since I first heard about it in "The Golden Turkey Awards" as a teen. One of my fondest memories was going to Ray Dennis Steckler's video store in Vegas one afternoon and talking about his movies with him for hours. He was thrilled someone was still interested in his work. Before I left I bought a copy of each of his videos (autographed, of course) and he gave me the last copy of the poster to TISCWSLABMUZ he had, which was slightly torn and hanging in the front window of his store (it is now restored and framed in my study). It's autographed to me and is a real treasure. He also gave me a latex (rubber?) mask that they used during screenings of the film when they'd have people run up and down the aisles of the theater during the zombie escape scene near the end of the film. Ray was an unusual talent, and I'm grateful I got to meet him. He passed away a couple of years ago, and the cinematic universe is dimmer without him.
'And now it's time for Choo choo chaboogie' I can honestly say, with both hands on my heart, that I never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever thought I'd hear that sentence coming out of Marks mouth.....What can I say, Mark always manages to surprise me 😂
Now the beatnik lifestyle, that's the one for me. No job, no ambition, hanging out all the time while you buy lottery tickets professionally with grandma's SS. Truly living like a king!
Hey Mark! I saw a movie called 'Warriors of Virtue' in theaters when I was a kid in '97. It's about ninja kangaroos in the forest or some shit... It's always stuck in my head and may be worth a watch! Love your videos brother
Fun fact: in tarot, the death card doesn't mean death. It means something's ending, usually to be replaced by something else. Every movie uses the death card wrong. Source: my sister did tarot when we were teenagers until the novelty wore off.
I think the actual "dire fate" is Ten of Swords, or possibly Tower. Those are the only cards that really describe what happens to Jerry (within the vagueness of Tarot predictions). Of course Estrella was most likely not actually psychic and had just picked Jerry as the brainwashing target because of how stupid he was and would have found some logic to do so no matter which card she pulled.
Two things. One, I always thought the guy with the cigarette and messed up face reminded me of Torgo. And two, I'm kind've surprised Mark didn't say anything about the monkey telling people to 'GET YOUR TICKETS HERE! GET YOUR TICKETS HERE!'

I was waiting for you to insert yourself into one of the empty theater seats during the strip show😂. Loved it none the less. Thanks for the laughs and please keep it up.
For those connoisseurs of bad movies out there, maybe you could help. I’ve been looking for a movie I saw on tv in the mid 80’s. Horror flick. Probably mid to late 70’s. My memory isn’t 100% after almost 40 years, but …The setting of the only scene I remember is either industrial or a backstage area. Think catwalk, pulleys, etc. I blue/grey/silver(?) humanoid creature is waiting behind a wall or object as the guy (cop?) enters from the background to the foreground. The creature snags the guy from behind as he passes, pulls his head back, and bites his cheek right off. Spits it on the ground. This freaked me out tremendously as a kid, but I can’t find the movie anywhere. It was on regular tv afternoon movies in the mid 80’s, so it had to be old at the time. And yes, I HAVE already tried Tip Of My Tongue on Reddit, r/horror, various boards on Bloody Disgusting, etc. If anyone knows (or even has a vague idea) please let me know! I’ve watched countless random bad movies for years trying to find it.
Ah, yes... A MST3K classic! ALSO! Dear lord, this is my first time seeing the stabbing scene in full, and the faces he makes are SO derpy! Hell, he kinda looks like Cornholio with his hoodie up!
Hey Mark, I just wanna say that you have probably my favorite channel on CZcams. I'm always so excited when I see a new video pop up. And I've probably watched every one of your videos 2 or 3 times. You seriously crack me up!
"Water? Oh no!" Cut to Harold in the bathroom on the toilet, the door violently bursts open. It's Jerry. He tackles Harold off the toilet and says, "What are you doing?! There's _water_ in that toilet! Get away from it!"
What astounds me: Its title, "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies," is NOT a bad translation - perhaps from Italian or some other language in which it comes across as far more compelling - and it is not a mega-cheap Grade F foreign film. This was, in fact, an American Grade Z (for Zombigrade) horror picture, shot in LA by one Ray Steckler on a budget of about five pins and a hubcap, and it was indeed originally released under that title.
Its sad that I knew what movie just from the thumbnail. I have seen the MST3K version at least ten times, one of their best. Such great lines as "Shots ring out, but the people of Bosnia bravely go on with their peep shows." "I drink but I don't inhale" "Ross Perot's commedia dell'arte" "No one's ever attempted an interpretive dance of Mein Kampf before"
You missed out an amazing detail about this movie, it's very own 3D effect. Originally when this film was shown cinema employees at a certain point would adorn masks and pretend to attack the audience. I remember reading this years ago I think in the Worst Movies of All Times book.
The scene where Jerry walks up that steep hill next to the funicular railway and hears the radio report was filmed in the Bunker Hill district of LA. The funicular is called the Angels Flight Railway. It has a website that bills it as an LA landmark since 1901. It has appeared in dozens of films and TV shows, including the Lon Chaney JR film "Indestructible Man."
One of your posts popping up in my feed makes me smile even if I’m ass deep in fighting off depression and suicidal feels. You rock! My hedgehog (Quillemina) agrees, and hedgies are notoriously hard to impress so you can put that in your resume with pride! 👍🏻🦔
I remember seeing clips of this flick in the great It Came from Hollywood movie… an entire movie that makes fun of really bad movies. It’s a glorious thing.
Interesting that two of the characters are Estrella and Stella. Stella means "star" in Latin, and "Estrella" means "star" in Spanish. (Although the Spanish double L is pronounced like the English Y, so it should be pronounced "Es-TRAY-ya".)
Man I felt guilty watching this movie review. Because I have a mole very similar in almost the exact same spot and have been putting it off getting it removed. Thanks Mark. After thanksgiving weekend, I will call my doctor to get it removed.
"Strange Creatures" featured an award winning musical score and - not too many people know about this - the fortune teller lady was Elizabeth Taylor! Yes, that is right.
I watch several similar channels but from the general presentation to the comprehensive chapters you set, this show is just amazing. I love these other channels that ultimately drew me here but this channel is stands on an entirely different level.
"A pioneer of... lethargy" I feel personally attacked 😆 "Killing business" indeed. I actually find the story of the fortune teller kind of believable. Being a carnie fortune teller was her identity and doing what she did allowed her to feel powerful (as this was easier for her than actually pursuing a successful life). As a woman who was deeply pathological, she saw no need to deal with the consequences of her actions; they were mere inconveniences. Instead, she would rather have people she doesn't like murdered.
You are right about the fortune teller's mole. I worked with a sergeant in the air force that had a growth on his nose that looked just like it. Turned out to be a staph infection and they had to overload him with anti-biotics to get rid of it...looked disgusting.
The police shooting with no provocation is the most realistic aspect of this movie. Edit: Vilmos Zsigmond AND László Kovács WERE CAMERAMEN ON THIS!!!!!!
Thanks to this video, I looked up magic eye posters over Google, and spent hours looking at them on the computer screen. The glare of the screen made my eyes burn after a little bit, but it was worth it, I missed looking at pictures of static to see a three dimensional image of the Star Trek Enterprise with dull washed out edges. I'm going to be real, I had way more fun than I should doing that at my age, but also may have damaged my old person eyes in the process... So worth it for a cool pair of reading glasses in my near future.
At 1:54, I think it's acid, not poison being poured on his face. That's what caused the disfigurement to the faces of all her 'zombies' that she keeps locked in a cage. Most evil gypsy fortune tellers keep bottles of acid on hand.
This film has some of the last footage of LA's Bunker Hill and Angel Flight Funicular Railroad as previously seen in so many old Film Noir Films, before it waa all leveled. Very sad.
When i saw that mole all i could think was; “ I’m Buck Melanoma. Moley Russell’s wart. Not her wart. Not her wart! I’m… I’m the wart. She’s my tumor. My… my growth. My… uh, my pimple. I’m Uncle Wart. Just old Buck “Wart” Russell. That’s what they call me, or Melanoma Head. They’ll call me that. “Melanoma Head’s coming”…Here’s a quarter. Go downtown and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face.”
I like the locations used in this Steckler film….one was the Pike in Long Beach (which was closed down by the early 1970’s) and the other was Angels Flight in downtown Los Angeles (the shortest line in America…it just goes up and down a hill). When I first saw this movie I really liked it as corny as it was).
The question I would ask about my future: I think I would ask who will be my future love(s). So I would not waste my time on Tinder and knock directly at their doors.
The most memorable thing about this film is the assistant cameraman was the great Laszlo Kovacs, one of the visual architects of the New Hollywood movement later in the decade.
This is my first time watching one of your videos and I have to tell you, you are hilarious!! I loved MST3K and your content is very reminiscent! I look forward to going back in your channel to watch other videos! Thanks for the laughs! 😂
The fortuneteller’s whole plan was to keep the fact that she had zombies hidden a secret. Over the years of having watched this film, that’s the conclusion I have come to
I wonder how many people went to see this movie and was like, fuck I hate this movie but accidentally went to go see it two other times under different titles thinking it was something else and then never went to another movie again because they were afraid it would be this one.
7:17 Movie: "Someone close to you will die near water..." Him: "Well you know, that's just so vague." The word Vague litterally means Wave in French! This guy can make puns even without understanding them!
He had not just one bottle of scotch but two, so he must have expected that fortune telling to last a while. And the bottle on his left is half empty, when he pulls the cork to pour a glass it's full, then it's half empty again.
3:32 Plus, he has "a very cab-forward face." 11:12 Plus, he's using the Michael Myers "technique" even before Michael Myers! Movie people do this all the time. They use an "ice pick" (reverse) grip with a single-edged knife, but they hold it with the sharp edge facing toward them instead of away from them. Skallagrim talks about why that doesn't work. It's one of the ways you can tell the difference between a disciplined fighter and a thug who brandishes an edged weapon as an intimidation tactic. 12:44 Why do movie people wear fall clothing in the summertime?
When I first saw this movie I was alone late at night during a storm back in 1995 and it was SOOOO weird it scared the shit out of me , Mark was kind and left all the creepy parts out but it scared me bigtime …freaky fucken shit!

At 1:54, I think it's acid, not poison being poured on his face. That's what caused the disfigurement to the faces of all her 'zombies' that she keeps locked in a cage. Most evil gypsy fortune tellers keep bottles of acid on hand.
For a moment I thought that was Elizabeth Taylor in the thumbnail.
Love your videos😄
I'd consider stopping for a psychic whose sign said "no appointments needed, I already know when you'll be here".
I'm so glad you addressed the mole. It was stressing me out.
Agrhhh! You missed out the bit when Estella calls her date, “You filthy piiiiiiig!”
Now here is a hot bit of news - Estella was portrayed by Elizabeth Taylor who was on the skids at the time!
This film has some of the last footage of LA's Bunker Hill and Angel Flight Funicular Railroad as previously seen in so many old Film Noir Films, before it waa all leveled. Very sad.
this show just keeps getting better. I'm laughing my ass off over here.
“You know how some movies inspire you to make your own film? This one inspires me to make my own gravy.”
When i saw that mole all i could think was;
“ I’m Buck Melanoma. Moley Russell’s wart. Not her wart. Not her wart! I’m… I’m the wart. She’s my tumor. My… my growth. My… uh, my pimple. I’m Uncle Wart. Just old Buck “Wart” Russell. That’s what they call me, or Melanoma Head. They’ll call me that. “Melanoma Head’s coming”…Here’s a quarter. Go downtown and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face.”
Best Nicolas Cage movie ever. :;squints at Jerry:: Right...?
The old Angels Flight in L.A., the tracks took you up to an old section of Los Angeles . My dad used take me on it…. no Zombies though
I saw this movie when it premiered at a local drive-in movie theater. A six-pack helped. MST3K knocked this flick out of the park. Thanks Mark
Internet trivia says this was mostly shot at an old Mason temple, owned by Rock Hudson.
I like the locations used in this Steckler film….one was the Pike in Long Beach (which was closed down by the early 1970’s) and the other was Angels Flight in downtown Los Angeles (the shortest line in America…it just goes up and down a hill). When I first saw this movie I really liked it as corny as it was).
The question I would ask about my future: I think I would ask who will be my future love(s). So I would not waste my time on Tinder and knock directly at their doors.
This movie’s titles just became my next cocktail menu
The most memorable thing about this film is the assistant cameraman was the great Laszlo Kovacs, one of the visual architects of the New Hollywood movement later in the decade.
This is my first time watching one of your videos and I have to tell you, you are hilarious!!
I loved MST3K and your content is very reminiscent! I look forward to going back in your channel to watch other videos! Thanks for the laughs! 😂
"...deeks out his mom..." You're totally an 80's Canadian kid, Mark
The fortuneteller’s whole plan was to keep the fact that she had zombies hidden a secret. Over the years of having watched this film, that’s the conclusion I have come to
I wonder how many people went to see this movie and was like, fuck I hate this movie but accidentally went to go see it two other times under different titles thinking it was something else and then never went to another movie again because they were afraid it would be this one.
Jerry is a mod on the r/antiwork subreddit.
7:17
Movie: "Someone close to you will die near water..."
Him: "Well you know, that's just so vague."
The word Vague litterally means Wave in French! This guy can make puns even without understanding them!
I love the title of this movie so much. It's mixed up poetry.
He had not just one bottle of scotch but two, so he must have expected that fortune telling to last a while. And the bottle on his left is half empty, when he pulls the cork to pour a glass it's full, then it's half empty again.
I haven't finished the video... But you must do Rat Fink A Boo Boo from Ray Dennis Stackler (Jerry). His Magnus Opus.
My favorite superhero movie!
I believe the correct term that you are looking for is "Magnum Opus" haha jk i know its probably autospell
@@dagfinissocool Actually I was wasted... XD
3:32 Plus, he has "a very cab-forward face."
11:12 Plus, he's using the Michael Myers "technique" even before Michael Myers! Movie people do this all the time. They use an "ice pick" (reverse) grip with a single-edged knife, but they hold it with the sharp edge facing toward them instead of away from them. Skallagrim talks about why that doesn't work. It's one of the ways you can tell the difference between a disciplined fighter and a thug who brandishes an edged weapon as an intimidation tactic.
12:44 Why do movie people wear fall clothing in the summertime?
"He's surrounded by people with a ton of hair . . ."
When I first saw this movie I was alone late at night during a storm back in 1995 and it was SOOOO weird it scared the shit out of me , Mark was kind and left all the creepy parts out but it scared me bigtime …freaky fucken shit!
What sandwich is in my future? Turkey? Meatball? Tuna? Nevermind. I decided to order a pizza.
I thought it was Elizabeth Taylor when I saw the thumbnail! What??
Excellent video as always Mark! Happy Thanksgiving…even though you’re Canadian!
🤩🤩😳
jerry looks like H. P. Lovecraft, and now you can't unsee it.
The lack of musical numbers in this musical film is probably the only reason I finished watching the entire endeavor 👀!!!🙏👍👻❣️
