Dimestore Monsters Run Amok! BRILLIANT!!!
This DVD is a mishmash. A low-rent theatrical short here, a trip through a carnival haunted house there, some still shots of old spookshow posters in between. In fact, "Monsters Crash the Pajama Party" is nearly impossible to describe. It's not a feature film, though there is a feature ("Tormented") included somewhere on the disc. Nor is it primarily about the title segment, a short monster/comedy flick starring a bunch of college kids and a mad scientist. Instead, it's almost as if the entire DVD is made up of extras. But what a great collection of extras it is! For one low price, you get monsters, happenin' 60s co-eds, horrible narration, REALLY bad acting, a bit of 3-D, a guy in a bargain-basement gorilla outfit and a whole lot more! Watching this disc feels like channel surfing in a world in which the Cramps run all the TV stations. It's like watching snippets of movies made by people who...well...wish they could make better movies. The result? It's absolutely, over-the-top brilliant; a patchwork of lowbrow cinema that will leave you wondering, "Where the heck did this stuff ever play??" <

>My only complaint about this disc (and I'm docking it a whole star for this) is that it's REALLY hard to navigate! The viewer is pretty much left to just stumble onto various scenes by trial and error. It's an amazing collection of clips and snippets overall, but this thing should have come with a map.

Monsters Crash the Editing
This DVD is so hard to navigate, it's nearly unwatchable, and extremely frustrating. The viewer is promted through a series of arcade-type mazes and must click on pictures within each scene to view chapters. Chapters aren't named, so even getting to "Monsters Crash the PJ Party" feature is major undertaking. In two chapters, "Monsters Crash..." shows while an old radio show plays over the feature. In two others, the viewer is shown still clips of instructions that are meant to pull off a gag stunt on a city-wide basis - - "How to Bury Someone Alive," and something else. Neither stunt would fly in todays modern scene. Instructions could probably be found on the net in 2 minutes, while getting to them via the DVD would take more like 50 minutes. <

>I used to think Director Ed Wood's "Plan 9 Form Outer Space" was the worst movie ever made, but "Monsters Crash the Pajama Party" has given me pause for thought.

A lot of fun for virtually all-ages....
...especially those who love horror films or Halloween. Sure the material is cheesy;it's supposed to be. This DVD is the most fun I've had where searching for contents is concerned as virtually all items are in the form of horror easter eggs. The only quibble I have is that some of the actual hidden easter eggs should have been unseen material, as opposed to quick clips of material already on the disc. The kind of DVD I would probably view and have fun with a few times a year. Worth it alone for all the classic horror artwork featured in most of the material...
