YMMV / The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra

Go To

  • Memetic Mutation: "I SLEEP NOW."
  • Padding: Like most of the movies they're parodying, there's lots of pointless scenes of people walking, and conversations that go on a lot longer than they have to. At least in this movie, the padding is generally funny.
  • So Bad, It's Good: A parody of such movies.
  • Special Effects Failure: Oh, is there ever. And it's all done on purpose. A few examples:
    • When Kro-bar and Lattis' ship lands on Earth, it's obviously a model made from a toilet paper tube.
    • When Animala, the Skeleton, and Roger are walking around, you can tell that Roger is holding the skeleton upright just out of camera range.
    • The device that the aliens use to disguise themselves in human clothes, and that Roger uses to create Animala, is a caulk gun.
  • Ugly Cute: The mutant.

The Lost Skeleton Returns Again

  • Nightmare Fuel: As noted in the commentary, the first appearance of the cantaloupe monster is genuinely scary with the way it suddenly lunges into a POV shot.
  • Special Effect Failure: The obvious zipper on the back of the monster suits.
