Movie Summary  Short: The Phantom Creeps, Chapter 3:  More Bela Lugosi and a not very good beard but a real cool robot/monster.  Movie: Ring Of Terror:  This was one of those exceptional motion pictures that is completely inert. There's no ring and there's even less terror. An eager and unflappable medical student must take the ring off a corpse as a fraternity hazing. While he's in the crypt late at night, a cat frightens him and he accidentally rips the arm off the corpse, which scares him even more and he dies, ostensibly from a heart attack. Let that be a lesson to all grave robbers. As in all movies from this era, the college students appear to be days away from a midlife crisis. — Mary Jo Pehl Host Segments  Prologue:  All in the name of some good-natured ribbing, Crow and Tom trick Joel into thinking it's movie sign.  Invention:  In Deep 13, it's an exciting foray into self-surgery: All you need is a willing subject, a can of nitrous oxide, and an oversized version of the game Operation. Joel's made a game that makes your innards into a pinball machine.  Segment 2:  Joel, Tom, and Crow pitch the Old School for Old Students, featuring the Irene Ryan Hip Clinic and the Will Geer Institute for Truss Research.  Segment 3:  Joel performs an autopsy on a Hoover vacuum cleaner. The 'Bots all get rather queasy, especially Gypsy.  Segment 4:  The 'Bots are desperate for ram chips but can't think of a single good thing about the movie; they do go on about the bad stuff.  Segment 5:  Frank has prepared a little number and sings the famous "If Chauffeurs Ruled the World."  Stinger:  Casey Kasem-resembling med student muses, "Weird! Yeah, I guess you could call it that. Weird." Reflections You can barely hear or see this movie—sometimes it's so dark you can't even see the silhouettes. Watching this movie was like sitting in a sauna with a chain smoker. — Mary Jo Pehl
