Cheesy? You haven't seen "cheesy" until you watch "The Lost Skeleton of
Cadavra". Remember the flaming hubcap flying saucer in "Plan 9 From Outer
Space"? That's nothing compared to the intentional cheesy special effects in
"The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra". Wait until you figure out what the space ship
and the transmutor are made from. And then there's the priceless dinner scene
with Animala.
I'm not going to spoil this one. It's too much fun. Plus there's a
sequel which I have yet to find.
And then there's "The Beast From Yucca Flat", starring the unfortunate Tor
Johnson from "Plan 9 From Outer Space", which you can download. Bad, very bad.
