The Longer The Title, Worse The Movie!

The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies... Released in 1964, was the second longest movie title in film history, and one of the worst movies ever made. That's some proud boast, from a low-low-budget piece of cringe-worthy schlock horror. The longest movie title at the time was Roger Corman's "The Saga of the Viking Women and Their Voyage to the Waters of the Great Sea Serpent", from 1957.

The original title was going to be "The Incredibly Strange Creatures, or Why I Stopped Living and Became a Mixed-up Zombie". The movie was advertised as "The First Monster Musical", only just beating "The Horror Of Party Beach" by just one month.

Made on a budget of $38,000, the movie involved a carnival, zombies, the occult, musical numbers, all the elements required for a schlock piece of grindhouse cinema. The title was often changed as it toured the US, to fool customers into coming back to see it again. Some titles used included, The Incredibly Mixed-Up Zombie, Diabolical Dr. Voodoo and The Teenage Psycho Meets Bloody Mary.

In the gimmicky grindhouse tradition of the likes of William Castle, the movie was advertised as being in anything from "Bloody-Vision", to "Terrorama" and "Hallucinogenic Hypnovision".

It was often double-billed with the equally now infamous "so-bad-it's-good" cult movie The Beast of Yucca Flats, that starred Tor Johnson of Plan 9 From Outer Space fame.
