Halloween Video Crypt

This picture was made on a small budget and sports some Ray Harryhausen style stop motion animation effects.  Pretty good effects at that.  Sometimes the figures and models look out of scale with their background but the motion achieved is more than adequate.  This is a good flick for a lazy Saturday afternoon:  enough thrills to keep you occupied but nothing spectacular either.  Kid finds blaster in the desert which allows him to blow things to smithereens.  Cool!  The unfortunate side effect of the weapon is that it turns the kid into a hideous green- hued monster.  The alien owners of the weapon show up and reclaim it from the kid but not without a fight.  I suppose it is a cautionary tale: don’t mess with what you don’t understand.  An otherwise innocent youth not even in his prime is corrupted by the awesome force he uncovers and is corrupted absolutely.  Sounds like too much TV, movies, and Internet usage.
