This was one of the first shows that threw out random humor of historic and of current event timeframe, there was MST3K Before Family Guy there kids......this helped pioneer Family Guy I think.....
Most of the film's sound was accidentally erased or lost, somehow. The director had to come back and record the voice-overs. The director was also accused of abscounding with whatever funds this movie was able to raise.
back in the day people went to see movies becuase of who was starring in it now the show the best parts on tv ads and the rest of the movie sucks big time, with the worst is supposed to be comedy. Now there is so much fake-ality shows out there on the boob tube with a cast of people who are not actors.
Okay, folks. I feel it is my duty to announce: There are movies worse than "The Creeping Terror" and "Manos - The Hands of Fate." Yes. Check out Rifftrax with the same guys and look up "The Room" and "Birdemic." It's a whole new demension of pain. And I love it. Mike, Bill and Kevin make it bearable. Barely.
It's smart to shoot with no sound because then you can just film your actors faffing about for 90 minutes and record a voiceover explaining the plot in post!
I can understand exactly where Tom Servo is coming from.....I used to work as a security guard and felt exactly the same way after working a double shift....for about the same wage.....
I have a friend who never liked MST3K. I gave him a box of old VHS tapes I made decades ago. He got hooked on 'em, now he adores the show....just doin' my small part folks.
@pretorious700 My friend got me hooked on the show with "pod people." Since then, I have continued to ask to borrow his VHS tapes until he ran out... now i scour the net for more episodes...this show will definetly be one of my nostalgic momets...
The backstory on this steaming plopper is that the director (who also plays the hero) lost the dialogue track, and was forced to record a new audio track with bits of "looped" dialogue, dubbed sound effects, and a voice-over narration that sounds like a guy reading the news.
This was reportedly also one of the late, great Lux Interior's favorites; from listening to the band in the dance hall scene, I can see what inspired him to work without a bass player in The Cramps.
@Zaydin2 If it did, it wouldn't be the same, going mainstream would kill it. That's not a hipster thing; it's just that it thrives off being an obscure, low-budget, independent production--just like the films it riffs. Those of us who know about it, however, know that it's the best show ever.
Oddly enough this was a really long short film speaking out against premarital sex. On that you will be eaten by a slug monster if you have sex before you are married.
Wow, this film is a mess. If my film lost almost all of its sound, I'd rather insert it in post or even re-do some scenes. This narrator crap is probably the laziest solution imaginable and makes the film so much worse. Thank god for MST3K.
Yeah, I think Crow was on to something when he said that the director had some kind of kink he was working out with all the ladies being eaten. I hate that "voreophile" is a word now.
From what I heard about the movie, that the sound of the movie was mostly destroyed right before it came out, and so the Director narrated it, and left in the dialogue that wasn't ruined. Still, it would be a bad movie either way.
This movie falls into the same category as Manos, Castle of Fu Manchu, and Neptune Men, films so bad that they exist more as theoretical tests of the limits of the premise more than average watchable episodes, you really, REALLY need to be a heavy MSTie to be able to handle them. Fortunately, I am :D
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the Satellite of Love, free, united, glorious, fruited.

One satellite under God (or not), indirrigible with liberty and justice for all! Thank you!
Thats one of the best episodes ever, thanks a lot for posting it in one piece! Funny thing is, there is another crawling carpet monster movie out there, I swear there is. I also used to sell DCM Time Window speakers so that skit with Mike totally made my jaw drop, I wish I had known of this movie so I could play the music from it to demonstrate the DCM speakers better! LOL, oh man, one of my favorite episodes, I laughed so much.
I watched part of this one time on late TV maybe 30 years ago. I was falling in and out of sleep and watched the "monster" devouring teens that would jump inside it's belly and I said to myself, "that is the stupidest thing I've ever seen!, I can't believe a movie this bad was made". 30 years later, never saw it on TV again and wondered if I'd ever see it and I am now awake and can finally see this and it's getting riffed! Awesome! It was right under my nose and took me forever to find it, lol.
It feels like my dad is reading the movie to me. Who needs a script or acting when you have a narrorator? I say more movies like this! Something tells me Morgan Freeman would agree.
@Unwyze thats cause the director droped all his film in a lake and so the sound was fucked for most of the film! so he narrated everything that happens!
I cant wait for the film comming out next year called "Creep". its gonna be about the documentary about the making of this film and even reenactments of some parts of this movie.
