Set during the 1960s, the movie The Dungeon of Dr. Dreck takes place during the heyday of horror hosts on TV. Filmed in period black and white, it shows the the usurping of the top star's time slot at a local TV station by an unlikely duo of horror movie hosts. Dr. Dreck and Moaner, the Zombie Cheerleader, are put on the air so that the station can jump on the horror movie bandwagon that was gaining popularity at the time. This leaves the formerly popular movie show host in a vengeful mood and the plot follows her plans of revenge against the new stars of the station.
The movie is essentially the story of how Dr. Dreck and Moaner became horror hosts. Through the film, you come to know and like the pair, as well as their mascot, Stu, the living rubber rat.
Overall it is very funny, with lots of little jokes and movie parodies throughout. The humor and the interesting characters make the movie enjoyable to people who don't even know who Dreck and Moaner are.
The DVD is very well done, bonus features, including bloopers, interviews with the cast, and a photo gallery. Also included is a pair of "Spook Specs", to use during the viewing of the 27 Spooks part of the film.
