This monster-filled spook-show short feels like it really wants to be a sexploitation movie but it never quite gets to that nudie cutie level. The sexiest thing we get is a bunch of girls running around in their short nightgowns.
It all starts out with a mad doctor(we know he's a mad doctor cuz it says so on his lab coat) warning the viewer about how super spooky this movie is gonna be and then no title card so I have no idea if this was called something else at some point, then a guy in a gorilla suit frolics about while the credits are read to us like we're retards(and if you're watching this you just might have to be a bit retarded to enjoy it fully). Some sorority girls show up in an allegedly haunted house and try to spend the night and also try to have a pajama party I guess. It turns out the house isn't exactly haunted but there is our mad scientist fellow hanging out in the basement doing some important experiments on how to turn people into big hairy apes(this gives us the wonderful site of a gorilla wearing a nightie). He's got a Vampira-like gal down there who does nothing but sit around looking all goth, a gorilla helper named Big G, a humpbacked henchman named Igor and a wolfman who might also be a flasher. They stop the movie towards the end so during theatrical performances people in monster costumes could run off the screen and terrorize the audience. The gals boyfriends show up, then the cops show up, there's a big rumble, everyone runs around like it's a Scooby-Doo episode and it ends with a gorilla hitting a bong. Probably one of the dumbest things you could find yourself watching complete with horrible jokey performances but I'm sure this was never really meant to be analyzed as a film but used for a spook show thrill and then forgotten. It might make for good goofy background visuals at a Halloween party nowadays. I also have to give it extra credit for having so much dumb Gorilla activity jam-packed into 30 minutes!
