when do we get to see the incredibly strange creatures who stopped living and became mixed up zombies?

(MST3K Version)
"I feel like this whole movie has an oily T-Zone"
With funds of a mere $38,000, and one of the main characters being the director himself, and the car used in the movie being the director's own family car, 'Low Budget' doesn't even begin to cover it. But there's a self-aware humour hidden (deep) beneath the financial constraints - not least of which being the title. Originally planned to be called "The Incredibly Strange Creatures, or Why I Stopped Living and Became a Mixed-up Zombie" director Ray Dennis Steckler had to change it last minute as the studio behind Dr Strangelove threatened to sue.
Despite the low budget and negative reviews (frequently topping Worst Movies of All Time lists), The Incredibly Strange Creatures, and by extension Steckler himself, attained a cult status. It's easy to see why too.
I can't say I'd watch it again, or even have watched it the first time without the MST3K commentary, but I'm glad I did. It's weirdly paced, badly acted, strangely interspersed with song and dance numbers, peppered with carnies and exotic dancers and zombie maniacs and hallucinogenic dream sequences... but it's also oddly charming and earnest.

This MST3K episode has one of my favorite jokes
Guy throws a rock into the wide ocean
Crow: And he misses the ocean!
😂 So stupid but damn it cracks me up!
