After watching the classic, Night of the Living Dead
, I figured it was time to do something A LOT less groundbreaking. The perfect movie for that 1968’s Astro Zombies

Plot / After being fired from the Space Agency, the disgruntled (not to mention crazy) Dr. DeMarco creates an Astroman from a criminal's dead body. However, he loses control of his creation, which goes on a killing spree, attracting the attention of an international spy ring and the CIA.
From the outset, I knew what I was in for with this flick. Yes, much of it was bad, even worse than “B” Movie bad with a morphing storyline, sub par acting and non-existent editing. However, It has to be said that this film is terrific, lousy and laughable at the same time. Somehow, things just work to make it at least a bit entertaining (the unnecessary nude-dancer scene comes to mind). It is what it is, a movie by Ted V. Mikels, is the godfather of schlock! Do I recommend it for everyone, Hell No! But, I definitely recommend it for hardcore fans of cheesy flicks!
What makes this movie worth watching is the scene near the end when the evil astro zombie gets his power pack knocked off and he has to hold a flashlight to his forehead to survive. Priceless.
