The Undertaker and His Pals (1966) *

What a load of crap. Three friends who own a restaurant kill women to serve on their menu. This unofficial Herschell Gordon Lewis inspiration is very tongue-in-cheek and supposedly funny, but very little is humorous. It's also badly acted and executed, and is not even enjoyable for the "offbeat exploitation fun" category. Badly acted and plays very much like a "Sweeney Todd" send-up, and features an aged Robert Lowery in a cameo as one of the restaurant patrons. The most interesting thing for me personally was that I've now confirmed that this garbage flick was indeed one that I saw at the drive-in (at least parts of it) which I remembered from being a child peeking from the backseat of my parents' car in the '60s. For decades I've had images in my mind and wondered where they came from. Now at least that mystery is solved. * out of ****
