I liked it as a gorey crazy monster movie. A few years later Gilligan&#8217;s Island surfaced, there are several aspects of both that are very similar. First off they are both about people stranded on an island as the result of a storm. Both have a Professor, a Movie Star and a Beatnik.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2731\" src=\"http:\/\/filmforno.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/f2b925093a10a2efef00375818d80f99.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/filmforno.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/f2b925093a10a2efef00375818d80f99.jpg 300w, http:\/\/filmforno.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/f2b925093a10a2efef00375818d80f99-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>In the case of Gilligan&#8217;s Island I&#8217;m referring to Gilligan himself. He had just finished portraying the worlds most famous BeatNik, maynard G. Krebs on Dobie Gillis, plus he was a Beatnik in several Beach movies. Anyway maybe Sherwood Schwartz saw Flesh Eaters like I did at midnight on TV and was inspired to make a comedy out of it.
