![]() ![]() ![]() I guess that whole idea of what I thought it would be as a kid was ruined by actually seeing it. And it has to have one of the most depressing endings I've ever seen in a Z-grade movie!! I'll almost bet I would have loved this movie had I seen it as a kid in the late 70's though. To quote a character in the movie, "The more he melts, the stronger he gets!" WHAT? No explanation is EVER given as to why this guy has ended up this way or how it is making him stronger. Turns out it is a novelization for a infamous B grade movie critically panned by all and even derided by MST3K. But, even the gross factor is overshadowed by the dumbness of it all. The Incredible Melting Man Rummaging through one of those old book stores I spied this little guy in the sci fi section, with such a kickass cover and stupid title it was impossible not to buy. ![]() Definitely not a movie you could enjoy while eating a plate of lasagna or something like that. I really wasn't expecting much, but I must say, despite the terrible plot, acting, etc., the special effects weren't half bad. I'm channel surfing and lo and behold, I find that The Incredible Melting Man is coming on Flix!! Sure it's goofy, but I got kinda excited about it since I STILL remembered seeing pictures of this hideous guy with his face melting off in that magazine. It looked so incredibly gross that it just had to be fantastic, right? Well, go forward to the present year, 2003. When I was a kid way back in 1977 there was an article about this movie in a kids magazine called Dynamite. ![]()
