Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

classicsoncall You might as well forget about trying to follow a coherent story line here and just go with the flow. The picture offers an incomprehensible mix and match of various film genres, a couple of which are hinted at in the title, and proceeds to regale the senses with such oddball elements as a hip talking parrot, a sexy pajama party and a masquerade ball in a haunted mansion. There's even an appearance by drag racing champion Tommy Ivo with a tutorial on how he built a high performance dragster in some foreign language he invented for the story. If all that weren't enough, the picture also utilizes the term 'ectoplasm', something you won't hear anyplace else outside of a 'Ghostbusters' flick. It's a bunch of mindless fun if you go for this kind of stuff, and if you don't, well then you've got static in your attic, and you've got to be completely zonk.P.S. - If you want to get a look at the Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow, just do a quick IMDb search for the 1956 film "The She-Creature", and right there on the title page is an image of the monster. It's the Endest, Man!

Uriah43 From what I understand the "Hot Rod movies" of the 50's were pretty much on the decline once the "Beach movies" began appearing in the early 60's. Of course that doesn't mean none were made but their popularity had definitely waned. That said, this rather lackluster film probably didn't help matters. Be that as it may, this movie begins with a hot rod race between two young women which results in one of the racers crashing her car and although she is not injured she receives a ticket on top of everything else. The other young lady named "Lois Cavendish" (Jody Fair) escapes—at least for the time being. In any case, she then drives back to the garage that her hot rod club is temporarily using and finds out that they are being evicted due to a lack of funds. So after much singing and dancing the decision is eventually reached to relocate to the house belonging to Lois' aunt which she has been unable to sell. There's only one problem—the house is haunted. At any rate, rather than reveal any more of this movie I will just say that I happen to enjoy movies made during this particular era. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst comedies I have seen in quite a while. All of the jokes either fell flat or were awfully corny. Sometimes both. Likewise, there wasn't much action to be had either. In short, other than having a couple of cute actresses like Elaine DuPont (as "Rhoda") and the aforementioned Jody Fair, this movie had very little going for it and I have rated it accordingly. Below average.

zetes Any person who spouts the hoary maxim "they don't make them like they used to" has never bothered to delve into the really bad movies of the past. Yet a movie so silly is hard to hate. I mean, this was basically made to show in drive-ins. The teenagers in the audience probably weren't going there for the movie anyway. Actually a sequel to a movie called Hot Rod Gang, the movie attempted to appeal to kids with the promise of drag racing and ghosts. It delivers very little on those promises. There's a race right at the beginning. Another occurs near the end - off screen. The ghost is a Scoobie-Doo like guy who wants to scare the teenage protagonists away from their new gearhead clubhouse (the plot makes no sense whatsoever). The teens are the squarest imaginable. They don't want to break the law by drag racing - it happens sometimes, though. There's a lot of bopping to sub-par rock and roll. The chicks are cute - especially the really tall, nerdy one with glasses (dating the nerd, of course). They dance around in their nighties at one point. There is also a talking parrot, a talking car and a goofy spinster aunt. This is actually pretty high up on the list of the worst movies I've ever seen, but, like I said, it's so embarrassing that I can't help but have a bit of affection toward it.

Space_Mafune This film is all about good music, good times and good fun. Nothing in it is to be taken too seriously man! At this time, Horror spook films seemed to be on the downward spin in terms of popularity but teen films about dancing, drag-racing and just being cool were just coming into fashion cat! But this one does feature a Monster(a Paul Blaisdell creation) and a ghost albeit all in the good spirits(ha!). Blaisdell actually has the funniest lines in the film. The Funest Man!
