Brief Description
The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!? (1963) is a low-budget exploitation horror-musical directed by and starring Ray Dennis Steckler (under the pseudonym "Cash Flagg"). Billed as the first "monster musical", it follows a young man who visits a seaside carnival and falls under the hypnotic spell of an evil fortune teller.
Plot:
A rebellious young man who visits a beachside amusement park with his girlfriend Angela and friend Harold, only to fall under a hypnotic spell. A sinister carnival fortune teller and occultist who uses a spiraling wheel to brainwash patrons. Estrella’s sister and a carnival stripper who helps lure Jerry into their trap. Jerry is hypnotized by Estrella, turning him into a knife-wielding killer who stalks the park and commits random murders. Jerry confronts Estrella, who throws acid in his face and traps him in a back room alongside a hidden group of disfigured, captive monsters. The imprisoned creatures break free, slaughtering the villains before police arrive and shoot Jerry dead.
