tHE cREEPING tERROR...

The monster that is made mostly from carpet scraps and vacuum cleaner hoses...with some college students underneath to make it crawl like a snail, sort of...reeeeeealllly awful monster! But they probably had about twenty dollars to make it, though, so, I applaud their efforts.

Funny thing about this monster: It is so incapable of movement---it has no really recognizable features, barely has a mouth even...and the mouth is not much more than a hole in the carpet scraps. So: When the monster has to be seen eating people, the actors playing the "victims" can be seen crawling into the monster's mouth, while pretending to kick, scream and fight. Oh, this is so funny! MST3K had a stab at this awful film, too.

This film is so bad that for many years there was a debate about whether it actually existed. The stories about how bad it was were too crazy to be believed. Makes Plan 9 look like Gone with the Wind!
