sorry, Kro-Bar uses the Transmutatron, not Lattis…

I blame the Skeleton for my earlier typo…

I sleep now!

Who did the skeleton’s voice? It sounded familiar. Like the voice of Buck from _Married with Children_

Wait wait, slow down. I’m a scientist, and that was even confusing to me.

I love those old cheesy movies, and my husband is just a huge fan of them plus has a decent tolerance even for those new “SciFi Channel exclusive” movies as bad-but-funny background sound. After about 45 minutes of this film, we both agreed it was time to turn it off and put it back in the Netflix envelope. It just… wasn’t that interesting. Too slow and not quite enough to keep our attention. We both fully expected to enjoy it as a loving parody of those old films, and for some reason, we didn’t.

> I saw this on cable a while back, then tried tro buy it – but now it’s gone from the video stores. I grew up on the cheapo 1950s films this parodies – all bottom-of-the-barrel flicks, and I can identify which ones are being parodied. **Plan Nine from Outer Space** and **the Cape Canaveral Monsters** and (for Animala) **The Astounding She Creature** , among others. Great stuff.

Cal, if you’re interested, [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com) still has it - and I may end up buying a copy myself, because it gets funnier every time I see it.
