The girl screaming “My God! What is it?” like an annoyed mother always gets me laughing. This whole episode is a treasure trove of riffs and scenes. I can still quote parts of the Bobby and Grandpa segment
The story behind how and why "The Creeping Terror" was initially made is Hollywood legend. The so-called producer took a lot of money from housewife/seniors investors, then when he was caught he tried to escape justice by actually making this hilariously inept film.
being the kindly folk they are -- help the poor, carpet monster by not walking away from it at a leisurely pace - and actually force feeding it with themselves. That explains this movie completely.
One of my favorite riffs is when the monster is shuffling along and looks like it's head part is bowing repeatedly, and servo says, "Thank you! Thank you!" My roommate at the time and I used to do that a lot. One of us would walk in the room doing that and it was the other's job to say, "Thank you!"
My favorite comment wasn't shown, but it was in the scene when the monster was in lover's lane, and flips the "skidoo" car-- "I can't get this vending machine to work. I just wanted a Clark bar.". And also at the dance hall: "Sponsored by Thom McCann..."
Great episode. You can't really see from this video, but most of the movie's soundtrack was lost before it was released, which is the reason for the narrator. There are entire scenes - like at 8:00 - where he goes through what the characters say almost word for word from the script. It's laughable how bad it is.
+nygiantsfan6 I heard differently, that the movie was shot without sound, and that dubbing was to have taken place after production. But they didn't even have enough money to complete it. And that was the reason for the narrator & parts with no sound.
My favorite part: Mike & Them making up dialogue on the spot for Martin, his wife and Barney, as they're silently moving their lips, concerned about the narrator, because he's going off on a pointless tangent about the benefits of marriage. It looked for all the world like one of those "Whose Line?" segments, then Servo blurts out "YOU WANNA GET BACK TO THE SCRIPT?!?" I was dead.
Mother to baby: "Let's take your temperature." Servo: "Uhhh.... I don't think I want to watch what's about to happen here." (mother takes out thermometer) Crow (as baby): Wait, you're going to stick that where?!
There's a "semi-documentary attempt" about the making of this flick titled "The Creep Behind the Camera". If you enjoyed 1994's "Ed Wood", I recommend giving that movie a watch.
Most of me is laughing at how ridiculously bad this movie is and how on point the crew is. Another part of me is amazed that the director thought the rectal thermometer scene should be kept in. And the oddly shaped part of me that makes strange noises and that I've kept locked in a small closet for most of my life wonders what color of zebra pattern dress the wife was wearing in the scene where she was washing dishes.
That terror looks like a sleeping bag that was brought to life by Frankenstein and the movie looks so washed out you can wipe yourself clean with the film.
I read somewhere that the effects guy that made the original monster suit for the film wasn't paid. So allegedly he stole the suit late at night for revenge. The producers had only one day to throw together the nonsense we see in the film.
There is a biographical film, made circa 2015, about the producer, A.J. Nelson, and how he was obsessed with making this horrible film (which he thought would be “huge”, and make him millions). The guy was a real asshole, cruel and manipulate to everyone unfortuanate to meet him, the primary victim being his poor wife. This bio. film is in the same small but fascinating genre; the great Hollywood losers club eg, Ed Wood,(eg, the Johnny Depp filn8, A.J. Nelson,(The putrid “Creeping Terror”) Tony Wassua (“The Disaster Artist” with James Franco)-its the same fascination that made MST3000 so popular and funny-these guys were so talentless-yet so determined- that in spite of themselves and their terrible films, they became, well, infamous.
Creeping Terror is truly one of the worst films ever made, and why it doesn't get more respect as a Bad Movie baffles me. It makes Manos seem like Citizen Kane in comparison. The only reason it's not high on more All-Time Worst lists is possibly that it's so bad, people can't sit through it.
He was head writer for most of the series. I like them both. They have a different style, but I find both really funny. And their relationships with Tom and Crowe is different yet both great - Joel, who created the bits was fatherly and Mike like a big brother. Joel picked Mike as his replacement from what I’ve read.
This could easily rank up high on the list of worst movies that was ever riffed on MST3K, and a lot of it, besides the horrid camera and audio quality, has to do with the titular Creeping Terror itself. It looks appallingly ridiculous and crawls slower than a limping two-legged tortoise, so it's hard to buy even for a second that this thing manages to eat as many victims as it does. And speaking of the victims, most of them must be brain dead idiots. Why do so few of them ever think to run away from this big, slow carpet abomination? Does it paralyze them from its sheer hideousness? To lift a quote from another MST3K ep, "you know, John Goodman on Hume Cronyn's back could outrun this guy!" Also, when I initially saw this movie (the riffed version, of course,) I was actually kinda hoping that once the Terror was killed, the heroes actually cut that thing open on the possible chance that the people inside were still alive, sort of like The Wolf And The Seven Young Goats, but that would be assuming that any of them had functioning brains. At the very least, Mike and the bots got a lot of great comedic mileage out of this cinematic turd. "Well, you see, when a monster and a small car love each other very much..."

To quote from another MST3K ep: "You can walk on your hands and outrun the thing!"
This makes Bert I. Gordon look like James Cameron.
The story behind how and why "The Creeping Terror" was initially made is Hollywood legend. The so-called producer took a lot of money from housewife/seniors investors, then when he was caught he tried to escape justice by actually making this hilariously inept film.
Wait, so "The Producers" is based on a true story? Mind blown.
"Actual Dialogue Startled Everyone" always cracks me up.
Me too.
The monster is so slow moving, that victims would have time to run away, resume their original position and run away again.
"Aaaaaah, run for your life!.... no wait i left my hat."
Could take a nap
😂😂😂
To this very day I can't fathom how and why people can be eaten by a monster that travels slower than a 3 toed sloth. Amazing! :)
"My god, what is it?!" It's a large mass of dirty carpeting, apparently.
"You know, everyone was fourty back then. Good thing drugs came along." XD
5:01 Tom: What's She doing? Crow looks, and then His reaction made Me laugh.
“Now cough, honey.” LOL!
Actual dialogue startled everyone!
I love the end with Mike and the bots saying "End!" rapidly before "The End" pops up. :D
The point of view of Helen Keller...I can't believe I missed that one.
"Bobby has often observed his parents at night."
"This terror's not creeping--it's clipping along just fine!" has got to be one of my favorite jokes from any MST3K.
being the kindly folk they are -- help the poor, carpet monster by not walking away from it at a leisurely pace - and actually force feeding it with themselves.
That explains this movie completely.
9:44-- "My God, what is it??" Best. Line. Ever.
"We're the Special Unit--Hel-LOOOOO!"
One question remains.....how did it fit through the door of the dance hall???
"I don't know what it is, so let's start shootin'!"
"Ya know, that monster would make a great tent!"
The monster looked a giant artichoke with warts and Gummy Worms sticking out of it's mouth

Robert McGinty Actually, he said “Good morning.”
Bradford told Martin what he had just confirmed: "I'm dying!" I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe.
Well, it IS creeping!
Got to give it that.
The point of view of Helen Keller.
Did I have a baby when I was waving goodbye?
Have the army send in bass and drums!
Everyone was 40 back then.
They sound like they really had fun ripping it out of this film. I may have to watch the full version.
"Creeping Nepotism"
This movie is terrible. It's like 'Monster a Go-Go' with a plot.
😂 At least they cared enough to have a plot! 😂
Um... if you could help me by climbing in...
My favorite comment wasn't shown, but it was in the scene when the monster was in lover's lane, and flips the "skidoo" car-- "I can't get this vending machine to work. I just wanted a Clark bar.". And also at the dance hall: "Sponsored by Thom McCann..."
"he's making his own broth", can't stop laughing every time I hear that.

My stomach was hurting so much from the roller rink music near the end lol
I heard hints of the Napoleon Dynamite soundtrack.
My favorite part: Mike & Them making up dialogue on the spot for Martin, his wife and Barney, as they're silently moving their lips, concerned about the narrator, because he's going off on a pointless tangent about the benefits of marriage. It looked for all the world like one of those "Whose Line?" segments, then Servo blurts out "YOU WANNA GET BACK TO THE SCRIPT?!?" I was dead.
Mother to baby: "Let's take your temperature."
Servo: "Uhhh.... I don't think I want to watch what's about to happen here."
(mother takes out thermometer)
Crow (as baby): Wait, you're going to stick that where?!
This is my all time favorite MST3k. Everything about it is insanely hilarious!

2:37 They missed a perfect opportunity for an Airplane joke. "Well, I could make a grain silo, or an airplane hangar..."
The monster looks like Dani in Midsommar when she's watching her bear-boyfriend meet his fiery death.
"Jackson Pollack disapproves." :D
I am GUMBY damnit! 🙂😂
"Actual dialogue startled everyone!"
Funny monster moments from an old horror movie. MST3K "The Creeping Terror" 1966
I like the way the victims just climb right into the monsters mouth XD!
'Monster A Go-Go' had a plot, it's just that they didn't relate it well.
"My God. What is it?!"
More like the agonizingly slow ambling terror
I called it the "Walking Boredom"
My god, what is it?!
That terror looks like a sleeping bag that was brought to life by Frankenstein and the movie looks so washed out you can wipe yourself clean with the film.
My God, what is it
He's making his own broth!!
I am surprised neither the Misfits nor the Cramps ever wrote a song about this sad little film!
“This county has missiles, Sir?!”
What about the part where Martin invites the Allen home for supper, WITHOUT TELLING HIS WIFE! (D'oh!)
Alien was lucky it landed on a planet where people don't run from danger but prefer to just scream their heads off.
I read somewhere that the effects guy that made the original monster suit for the film wasn't paid. So allegedly he stole the suit late at night for revenge. The producers had only one day to throw together the nonsense we see in the film.
@@cindydott452 Hope that is true. At least it gives them an excuse for the monsters.
How did they get such a large cast for such an incompetent schlock-film?
This was definitely someone's fetish film
1:16
3:10 Well, i'm sure he knows what he's doing.
My favorite movie filmed in Nebraska
It’s weird......as silly as it is, there IS still something really unsettling about the monster. 😳
Well witnessing binge eating is worrisome, concerning.
My favorite episode.

that carpet could use a Brazilian.
MY GOD. WHAT IS IT.
@auritone All hail the riffs!
Why did everyone go to Lover's Lane at high noon? Why did one guy go all by himself?
@DrThunder88 Sucky part is it is a LOT like Monster a Go-Go! X_X
k.d. Lang!
My favorite part is when the soldiers attack lol
It’s so fulfilling being married....
Is it me, or is the narrator the same one from all the shorts?
.
"What will you HAVE , Barney ?"
.
..."your WIFE !"
.
I said Doctor Bradford arrived!
otimo p/ zeus.

I won't thumbs down it, but I'm not a fan of Mike. even though he was a head writer for a while. I'm strictly Joel.
He was head writer for most of the series. I like them both. They have a different style, but I find both really funny. And their relationships with Tom and Crowe is different yet both great - Joel, who created the bits was fatherly and Mike like a big brother. Joel picked Mike as his replacement from what I’ve read.
I don’t see a creeping terror. Just a boring dumbness.
Or boring numbness. Perfectly describes watching this film.

03:19 Aren't those the guys that went into the woods to shoot giant grasshoppers with Peter Graves?
"Ooh, cannabis!"
