The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies (sometimes "!!?" is appended to the title) is a 1964 monster movie written and directed by Ray Dennis Steckler. The cinematography included early efforts by Vilmos Zsigmond and László Kovács.
Plot
In the film, three friends visit a carnival and stumble into a group of occultists and disfigured monsters. Produced on a $38,000 budget, much of it takes place at The Pike amusement park in Long Beach, California, which resembles Brooklyn's Coney Island. The film was billed as the first "monster musical", beating out The Horror of Party Beach by a mere month in release date.
The DVD release of Incredibly Strange Creatures features a humorous and informative commentary track by "drive-in movie critic" Joe Bob Briggs.
