    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Cast and crew recall that John Reynolds was on LSD during filming. It explains his confused behavior and incessant twitching in virtually all of his scenes.
    • Goofs
      The female teenager in the car misses her cue, looks directly into the camera, then delivers her line.
    • Quotes

      Torgo: I am Torgo. I take care of the place while the Master is away.

    • Crazy credits
      The End?
    • Alternate versions
      The DVD version is a few seconds shorter than the original. For example, the film once started with the car (with mom, dad and Debbie) pulling up and stopping BEFORE the dialog starts. There is also a little music that was cut out. The full opening can be seen in the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version of the film.

    Bad Movie Makes Good MST3K
    This movie should serve as warning to anyone who tries to make up a movie as you go along. An overused concept (family gets lost) meets a cliche (wierd guy who talks of a master)and then degrades into one big mess. The couple's little girl vanishes during filming or seems to be and a wierdo shows off his girl collection; they may or not be vampires or zombies, you never know. The story is missing, the flow is ambigous and it moves like words in an alphabet soup. Nonsense and confusion are the result. Thank you, but no thank you, Doctor Forrester.
