Laughably bad

I watched this recently with several friends. We love Boris Karloff but couldn't believe how laughably bad this movie was. Poor Boris. His performance and the performance by the woman playing his wife were both good, but the story was preposterous. It's only saving grace was the campy '60s dancing and psychedelic colors.

We started laughing every time the ham-handed filmmakers had to remind us about the sympathetic wounds on the old couple's hands. How many times did they need to show that?

Our favorite part of the movie: the young guy's shop was called "The Glory Hole"!

Several friends eh ?

Saving grace of the film is the actors, direction and the chase scene in the last ten minutes.
Never has a plod car had so much brown stuff on the drivers seat.

No. The best part is the name of the antique shop COMBINED WITH the customer looking for a telephone. I think he needed the antique phone to call all his friends and tell them he found The Glory Hole.

I guess that's why they call it science fiction.

I laughed at the antique shop called 'The Glory Hole.' I think the customer we see was expecting something else and walked out disappointed.
