[net.movies] "The Creeping Terror"

"The Creeping Terror" must surely rank as the worst SF film ever made.
This movie was made on such a low budget that it was filmed as a silent,
with "dialogue" (~2 seconds out of synch) spliced on later.  The monsters
in this dog were made out of carpet scraps and radiator hoses, and when
they moved about you could often see the shoes of the people carrying
them.  All in all, this is a *must see* for any fan of truly awful films.

Indeed, "The Creeping Terror" (in my collection) is indeed a fine
"bad" film.  Maybe I'll bring it along to Usenix if I decide to
bring tapes.

"The Creeping Terror" is not a bad SF movie; it is the worst one of all time
(this is from a person who like some pretty bad SF movies (bad by others
standard)).  Any movie that consists mostly of narration and non-lip-synced
dialog, a moster that is a walking carpet, and situations so totally
unbelievable must be the worst (that is, I have never seen another film that
screwed up as bad as this one did).

Oh well,
