The First Monster Musical

Because incredible is the word for this 1964 film:

The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living
and Became Mixed-Up Zombies

“The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies (sometimes “!!?” is appended to the title) is a 1964 monster film written and directed by Ray Dennis Steckler. Steckler also starred in the film, billed under the pseudonym “Cash Flagg”. In this film, three friends visit a carnival and stumble into a cult of occultists and disfigured monsters. Produced on a $38,000 budget, much of it takes place at The Pike amusement park in Long Beach, California, which resembles Brooklyn’s Coney Island. The film was billed as the first “monster musical” (beating The Horror of Party Beach by a mere month in release date).”
