Yeah, they couldn't make this today could they? There were scenes that were actually spooky, things that legitimately creeped me out as a kid, and, honestly, that's why I watched it then.
And, honestly, now that I am a middle-aged man, it's fun to revisit because it's campy and fun, and you can still see the parts that would give the little kid in you goose-pimples.
And, it offered a great commentary not only on society as a whole, but especially on the old MGM monster movies and classic cinema as a whole. Watching it as an adult, with decades of cheap old horror and science fiction movies under my belt, I can see where it's coming from. I can see what it's spoofing and where the campy fun comes for and it has generated a renewed love.
