It's one of the worst movies ever made and when the monster appears, not only is the monster cheap, he's got a rubber mask that you can see over the collar of the guy's jacket and rubber gloves that don't quite much up the sleeves of his sport coat. When the monster appears there's this trumpet lick that isn't scary. It's not even out of tune, it's just exactly the wrong thing to put there it doesn't scare you, that's the greatest example I can think of. Did you ever hear the song 'Debra Kadabra' ( on '[[Bongo Fury]]')? That's what that song is about and when you hear in the background ''"DA-DA-DA-DA-DAHHH",'' that's making fun of that stupid trumpet line that's in the movie but nobody's seen it over here so you can't appreciate the humour of the song. When he's saying ''Make me grow Brainiac fingers'' that's what he's referring to, because Vliet and I have both seen that movie and it's fucking stupid. Mexican monster movies are great, [[The Curse of the Aztec Mummy|The Aztec Mummy's Ghost]] that's a good one too."'' [Zappa: 1983]

 The story is about a baron who is condemned by the Inquisition in 1661 and burned at the stake. Before he dies the Baron swears revenge when the next comet will pass by. 300 years later, in 1961, a new comet returns and the Baron returns as an evil sorcerer who is able to change himself into a hairy monster who eats human brains.
