Thanks for the memories!

Beautiful, moving film.

Absolutely Fantastic

A Major Disappointment

How ANYONE that has procured and sat through this film (I'm referring to the first reviewer, no offense) can not know the details of WHY this film is so short just amazes me! The entire lore and told & retold story of this film is half of it's entertainment! This film was two thirds (the beginning and end) on film and one third (the middle) a live spook show/stage show! The film pauses and all the monsters and whoever all jump out of the screen, terrorize the audience and do a little show, sit on peoples laps, cut heads off of audience members, etc, etc. Then they run back into the screen and the last third of the film plays...the end! The only film of it's kind! I wonder why...hmmmmm...hahahahaha. Now if only there was footage of the live part!!!

This movie sucks @$$! It's so bad it's funny. The acting sucks, the writing sucks, the directing sucks, the story sucks, and the effects suck! But the DVD to this awful movie, kicks @$$! The special features make the DVD worth buying. Sure the DVD is not flawless, take for example some of the short films they have drag on a bit. But for the most part they are pretty short and pretty entertaining. The menu to this movie is also pretty cool. Rather than having the traditional Play, Scene Selection, and Special Feature buttons. Instead it has this whole cemetery and haunted house that you movie around using the arrows of the Remote Control. My favorite of all the special features is this one with a dancing skeleton puppet. It some how manges to be very entertaining to watch. So in the end, the movie sucks but the DVD is great so check it out.

In order to get even close to the full effect, you must get the Something Weird DVD version and imagine yourself to be a teenager in the 50's or 60's. Spook shows were evening-long events, not just a movie, and the atmosphere was giddy and creepy at the same time. I personally just missed being old enough to experience it first-hand, but have talked to many people who did go to them.Some were awful and amateurish and some did a good job. But they were never meant to be anything more than a good time to have with your date or friends. And this movie probably typifies the experience more than any other--a little self-indulgent, a little off-kilter, and good, cheesy fun.

A rather short film, but actually this works well as the script and material probably couldn't have filled up much more time anyway. A mix between horror and farce, this is one of those films that is so bad it's good, and the whole cast and crew do seem to be enjoying themselves even with the low production values. Monsters Crash the Pajama Party is a strange little movie, but once you begin to watch it you realize it's a film that doesn't take itself too seriously and you'll want to stay with it until the end. An interesting movie to watch!
