It had to happen … eventually. The Grue-Crew cover the Santos Ellin, Jr. favorite from 1974, Shriek of the Mutilated. Oh, boy… is this a romp. Bad script, bad acting, hilariously bad dialog, the goofiest “yeti” costume ever – yeah, we had an absolute blast with this one. You knew that was coming, eh?
