Wonderland: Pilot (2000)
the greatest series that never was.
It's a damn shame that this program got pulled by the network only two episodes into the series.Oh well...who needs a compelling drama about the mentally ill and the doctors who work with them when you can fill that airtime with another stupid reality show or dopey sitcom?
The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!? (1964)
David Lynch wishes he could make a movie like this.
What can I say about the Incredibly Strange Creatures...I love this movie. I caught this movie on MST3K and was intrigued enough to find a copy of the movie to watch it without the call backs.
It's the story of lovable loser Jerry (played by director Ray Dennis Steckler, under the name Cash Flagg) who runs afoul of side show fortune teller Madame Estrella and her hirsute henchman Ortega, murder and mayhem ensue. During the course of this gripping "monster musical", you'll meet Jerry's unintelligible roommate Harold(who may be foreign or something), Jerry's helmet haired girlfriend, Angela, and ungainly dancer Marge (played by Steckler's one-time leading lady Carolyn Brandt, talentless stripper Carmelita, and other sketchy characters. The action is periodically interrupted by bizarre and vaguely unsettling musical numbers that add to this movie's nightmarish and surreal ambiance. If you enjoy Strange Creatures check out some of Steckler's other work, particularly The Thrill Killers and Rat Pfink a Boo Boo.
Favorite line:
Angela's mother: (Concerned over her daughter's relationship with Jerry.)
"He doesn't even come to the door for you." Angela: (In all seriousness) "He wouldn't be Jerry if he did."
