this movie was a riot!

I saw it last night. It's in the 100 horror movie classics set and it was a scream. It was the first film I watched out of the set because it had the most ridiculous title and I figured it would be pretty funny, and I was not disappointed one bit. Absolutely hilarious, but the eye on the shoulder was pretty creepy. The only thing that was a let down was that no one called him the Manster during the film. I was hoping it was going to come up in the final monologue, but the phrase didn't appear in the film, nonetheless a great B movie.

I saw it this weak on DVD! The real "manster" in this film was that dasterly, overly ambishes scientist!

I too remember reading about this in Famous Monsters. I grew up in Pittsburgh, and between Chiller Theater on WPXI (Channel 11), and Scream In on WPGH (Channel 53) I was able to see a ton of weird cult horror flix, the Manster being one of them.

A Taiwanese company is remaking it and a possible title for it is "Crackwhore from Hell". It should be a laff riot.

Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.

I saw this film when I was a kid on either CBC Channel in Windsor or Scream Theater on Channel 7 in the Detroit area-----this was years and years ago. However, I could not find any information on it for the longest time,and started to wonder if it even existed, until I finally found something about it on the net. Got it on VHS recently and enjoyed it----the acting was pretty good, particularly by the lead actor, and the actor playing the scientist---apparently he had a long fruitful career, and had been in another Japanese horror/sci-fi movie I'd seen called THE H-MAN, which is in color and is also pretty good (the actor who starred in the original GODZILLA is also in it.) Plus it was nice to see two Japanese characters who weren't stereotypes,particularly for the time it which it was made. Showed it to a friend of mine who likes old-school horror flicks and he enjoyed it,too. Worth watching if you love some old-school horror films.

I read online years ago, that this film was the first collaboration bwt an American film production company and a Japanese production studio since World War II---or maybe it was the first one period, I don't know. Still,it's an interesting flick,with a surprisingly mature attitude toward sex for its time---probably due to it's shot and co-produced in Japan.

"First I saw of this film was Gilda Radner saying that eye on
his shoulder is his new friend . "It came from the Movies" whatever
it was called making fun of B and Z movies ."

It Came From Hollywood.
