The saddest think about watching this turkey is seeing my old childhood hero "Captain Midnight" reduced at last to playing the idiotic sheriff in this ghastly potboiler. No wonder he committed suicide later on. If I had seen this film -- to use the term charitably -- back in the 60s when I was doing a lot of drugs it might have been fun; straight, it just is terrible. However, if you're in a "Killer Tomatoes" or "Plan 9" kind of mood, it could still be fun, especially if you have friends in to help you laugh.
Great kudos to Larry Hagman for putting together some great cameos, and no doubt helping out some underappreciated talent that could use the work, like Del Close, whose contributions as a comedy innovator and teacher at Second City Television are, sadly, almost unknown except to the big-name stars he mentored. For those not familiar with his face, he was the psycho preacher in the remake of THE BLOB -- the one at the end who saves a piece of the creature to bring on Armageddon. Read Del Close's bio on this site. It's an extremely interesting read.
