Movie Summary
Paul. Yep, we got ourselves a Paul. And he has a Native American friend named Johnny Longbow, who decides to rush the Halloween season and scare him half to death. He scares him with a woman wearing terry cloth. However, Paul and terry cloth woman fall in love (don't you love the time frames in movies?).
While on a date with terry cloth woman, Paul is then smacked in the noggin with a moon rock (oh, wow!), thus causing him to become a hideous lizard creature. When the lizard-becoming disease is proved to be uncurable, Paul must be shot by Johnny, to the dismay of terry cloth woman. Meanwhile, the audience watching the film remains completely indifferent.

Stinger: "Moon rock?! Oh wow!!"
My Thoughts
The utter stupidity and vagueness of terry cloth woman is shocking. I know many, many, many people like terry cloth woman, and that's frightening. The line "Moon rock?! Oh wow!!" is a true testament to the downfall of Western civilization as we know it.
This really wasn't a bad movie. Just misguided, as many MSTed movies tend to be.
Johnny Longbow needs his own series. Perhaps a cooking show, or something on PBS.
