So, I get to see this beautiful looking 80s cheese-flick tomorrow night at a midnight showing!  Anyone seen it yet?  I'll put up a synopsis and short review after I watch it!

Does John Carradine sing the theme song?
Kneel before Dr. Hell, the ruler of this world!

Saw it on VHS back in the 80s when I was too young to appreciate cheesy movies. The movie was a mess as I recall. It was put together by two or three different movies with one of them being a unfinished one? Or something like that. I'm sure its a blast to watch these days, especially on the big screen. Enjoy and report back :)

It's been years since I saw it.  It's fun to watch, but if I remember right, not nearly as good as that video makes it seem it should be.  I think Claws' description of it as "a mess" would be accurate.  My husband always talks about this movie and how it has that unfinished movie in it.  I don't think those dancing kids have any real role other than to dance around and sing between other stuff going on.

Have fun!

So I just saw this "film" last night.  It was on a 35mm print all the way from Australia!  I also won a DVD of My Name is Bruce in the raffle before the movie...

But I digress, I'm ignoring the movie itself...

It was a messed up, strange, confusing, boobandgore infested, POS.  I loved it!  Basically it was three different movies that were sitting on the production company's shelf at the time, edited into one anthology movie, with a subplot of God vs Satan on a train with an 80s rock band playing a really catch song.  I mean, how can you not find this song catchy?  After it played for the 4th time in the film, everybody in the theatre started dancing, singing, and clapping along.

Anyway, I'd give it a watch.  Not the best out there, but still pretty damn fun!  (3.5/5)

I had a struggle once trying to decide whether or not it's the worst films I'd ever seen.  I decided not, since it introduced me to Death Wish Club and Cataclysm, both of which are edited in as segment.

The movies is kinda fun, but the best part is the song!
