This particular episode of MST3K features the "classic" horror film The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies. It just tries to be too many things (horror movie, suspense thriller, musical) and doesn't really succeed at any of them. It's a little better than most other Z-grade horror movies, though. While this movie is padded like any bad film straining to reach a feature-length running time, the musical numbers (which have absolutely no bearing on the plot) are at least somewhat entertaining, though they range from competent to comical, in the worst way.
Still, it's better than The Creeping Terror. This might be the flat-out worst movie I've ever seen. It has all the hallmarks of a great bad movie, especially in horror/sci-fi: terrible writing, bad acting, shoddy technical work, horrendous pacing issues (a two-and-a-half hour long movie that's only an hour and sixteen minutes in actual length), and the strain to stretch the lame premise to fill even that sub-feature length. If you check the previous link, you can see the full movie on YouTube. It won't be enriching, but you will find yourself wondering how someone ever thought it was a good idea.
