    A horribly awful, wonderful classic re-visioning

    This movie is difficult to describe. It is best seen late at night (Very late) with a few drinks and many friends.

    It's a hilarious piece of movie ephemera. Be warned that there are multiple random 'interlude' scenes sliced into the movie, all of which are strange, only a few of which are funny. They add to the weird charm of the film, however.

    If you are easily offended or if you worship at the altar of the Night of the Living Dead as a masterpiece of film-making, it may not be the film for you.

    However, it's truly one of the silliest, most irreverent things I've ever seen.

    Basically, if you have the opportunity, you should watch this!

    funny as hell

    i actually own this movie, and it is the funniest thing i have ever seen! it is kind of long, and monotonous towards the end, but Lowell Mason is hilarious throughout the entire movie. This movie was so popular at my high school, people were trying to rent it all the time. i know that in massachusetts a particular movie rental store has it....its definitely worth watching if you want a good laugh!

    Positively Putrid... Really makes you appreciate Woody Allen and MST 3K!

    I sought this "film" out based on rave reviews by alleged aficionados of B-Movie overdubs, who compared it to Woody Allen's (1965) What's Up Tigerlily?, and the marvelous sendoffs of Comedy Channel's Mystery Science Theater 3000. That it was a parody of one of the most effective horror movies of all time only reinforced my curiosity that it might be a truly amusing outing into the deeply absurd. What one gets, instead, is a completely crass attempt at movie parody by a bunch of hacks who consider endless "poo-poo humor" and fart jokes to be the absolute end-all in belly laughs. This pathetically crude attempt at mimicry is compounded by guys overdubbing the voices of the female roles, that come off sounding exactly like. well, guys overdubbing high-pitched female voices. One could just as easily have convened a completely random assembly of 12-year old Jr. High School kids to script and perform a much better parody.

    At this point in time, it is very reassuring that the art of foley sound overdubs is still alive and well in the form of true masters like Buzz Moran's marvelous "Foleyvision" troop operating out of Austin, TX.

    entertaining for about a half an hour

    Funny concept, not especially funny to sit through. I wished I was drunk. I appreciate the creative recreation of the dialoge and the revamping of some of the characters. That was funny. It just wasn't funny enough. I think that the creator Lowell Mason, must have known this and had to insert his own `boredom breaks'. So throughout the whole film there are short films that he did or just fireworks. That kind of stuff made it a bit more interesting and definitely gave it a `what the.' factor. It's worth a watch if you need something for a party.

    Not quite worth sitting through, but almost.

    I'd been hearing about this movie for years and finally got the chance to see it recently. The idea is fantastic- take a classic horror movie, rip out the soundtrack and make your own parodying it. Unfortunately, the majority of the jokes made fall into one of two categories: racist or bowel-movement related, neither of which I find particularly funny. I wasn't expecting anything extraordinary, and certainly not anything classy, but there were much better jokes that could have been made given the opportunities available. They made what could have been awesome boring and mildly off-putting instead. That being said, there were several moments that were funny if not hilarious interspersed throughout, keeping me just entertained enough to keep watching.
