Mystery Science Theater 3000: 10 Worst Movies They Riffed

8. The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!? (1964)

TISCWSLABMUZ1Summary: Billed as the world's first "Monster Movie Musical", it shows three teenagers as they visit a carnival. A woman named Estrella hypnotizes one of them into becoming a zombie (??!). Why It Stinks: Not only is acting a miserable experience to endure, the film also creeps along at a snails pace. Also, the zombies themselves don't make an appearance until the last act, and are promptly killed by the police. No tension or suspense. This horrible, horrible creation drags on for 82 minutes before finally ceasing, albeit in the most confusing, pointless, and ultimately frustrating ending possible for a film of its caliber. Sample:Best Riff: "They're white people. Done up as Africans. In white face."
