Hands down the BEST A&C film, and in many ways, one of Universal's best presentations of their classic monsters! Bela Lugosi is just fantastic in this, and due to the excessive make-up used to help cover up his 66 years, he indeed appears other-worldly!! This is hands down my favorite film of all time.

You've got to give the Monkees project some credit, they could've simply produced a 90 min. version of one of their tv episodes, and probably lived to make another feature. Instead, they made this wonderful,campy film which lambasts the whole Monkees pre-fab image, as well as spoofing 15-20 other films/genres in the process. Music critics take note: The soundtrack features some of the guy's best stuff, and the in-concert version of Circle Sky is positively smokin'.

Fun, typical Universal"B".. In what must've amounted to a cost-cutting measure, over 10 min. of the film's 60 min. running time, is made up of scenes from 1940's The Mummy's Hand"!! This flick would mark Chaney's first of 3 appearances as Kharis. Look for Glenn Strange[Frankenstein's Monster from '44-'48]in an unbilled "bit" as a farmer calming a horse, during the Mummy's first attack sequence.
