The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!? (1964) is supposedly a classic of the B movie genre.

I have never actually seen it, but the rock critic Lester Bangs wrote an appreciative 1973 essay about The Incredibly Strange Creatures, in which he tries to explain and justify the movie's value as camp:

". . . [T]his flick doesn't just rebel against, or even disregard, standards of taste and art. In the universe inhabited by The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies, such things as standards and responsibility have never been heard of. It is this lunar purity which largely imparts to the film its classic stature. Like Beyond the Valley of the Dolls and a very few others, it will remain as an artifact in years to come to which scholars and searchers for truth can turn and say, "This was trash!""

Hmm... it sounds good!!! ^_^

Also, I LOVE the title!!! ^_~ ^_^ ;) :) :D :P XD

Although, there are some other films with even longer titles, such as The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade, and Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Alien, Flesh Eating, Hellbound, Zombified Living Dead Part 2: In Shocking 2-D.

I swear to God, these are ACTUAL movies!!!!!!

I have several Steckler DVDs, including:

* THE INCREDIBLY STRANGE CREATURES . . .
* THE LEMON GROVE KIDS MEET THE MONSTERS
* THE THRILL KILLERS
* RAT PFINK AND BOO BOO

Each one is entertaining in its own way, and Steckler himself provides some interesting commentary in the extra features.

For the latest on the fifth installment in Don Coscarelli's Phantasm saga.

Oh, I've seen this one. For some reason 90% of the movie was just this boring cabaret show.
