Jerry (Cash Flagg alias Ray Dennis Steckler) takes his girl Angela (Sharon Walsh) to a fun fair, where she has her palm read by fortune teller Estrella (Brett O'Hara), an evil woman to be sure, but she's nice to Angela. For Jerry however, she has different plans, so she has him charmed by her sister, the stripper Carmelita (Erina Enyo) - upon which Jerry promptly dumps his girlfriend and heads for a date with Carmelita. But instead of a romantic something, Estrella hypnotizes Jerry so he kills Marge (Carolyn Brandt), an alcoholic dancer, right on stage - mainly because Marge has found out Estrella's secret.

The next day, Jerry has no idea anymore what was wrong with him the other night, and he pays a visit to Angela to apologize and make up - but when she twirls her little umbrella just like Madame Estrella's hypnotizing spiral, he immediately falls under Estrella's spell and tries to kill his own girlfriend. Whe he realizes what he's doing, he can't but make a hasty escape.

A dancing girl has found out that Madame Estrella has something to do with Marge's death, so Estrella sends Jerry after her to kill her as well, before she decides to make Jerry one of her zombies she keeps in her backroom (her little secret), but when her assistant (Don Russell) opens the zombies' cage, all the creatures escape and create havoc, killing first Estrella, her assistant and Carmelita before invading the next-door dance performance before the police arrives to shoot the cretures down.

Only Jerry, now one of the creatures as well, can escape to some cliffs by the sea, with the police and his friends led by Angela - who knows he's kind at heart despite of him attacking her - in hot pursuit. Angela pleas to his sanity but eventually, he is shot down the cliffs to his death by the police.

 

Now this is one weird movie: Basically it's a typical revue movie, even if done on the cheap, but the musical numbers are linked not by your typical love story but by a zombie/serial killer plot not at all unlike the shockers Monogram produced some 20 years earlier. To no one's real surprise, the whole thing makes little sense, and might even alienate viewers upon first viewing - but believe me, The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies gets better with each viewing, as if it revealed more and more of its secret ... and all this while the film was extremely cheaply made at the same time, and several of its effects are very goofy - there's just something irresistible about the whole thing nevertheless.
