THE CREEPING TERROR

What’s more frightening than a carnivorous carpet from outer space? Let’s see…..

Gas pains.
Running out of wine.
The rising cost of postage stamps.
Cold ravioli.
Alcohol prep pads.
Tupperware.
Pop Tarts with Candy Sprinkles.
Cream Cheese and Chive Crackers.
Hefty Bags.

Actually, I should probably not list everything that’s more frightening than this film, because neither of us have that kind of time. I’ll say, instead, that EVERYTHING is scarier than this movie.

That’s not to say that the movie isn’t entertaining in its own strange way.

We have a movie that, while being made, was frought with dishonesty, incompetence and an almost complete lack of sensible scripting. Perhaps that movie that was made was not the movie that was scripted.

It would take too long, again, to list everything that’s wrong with this movie, but suffice it to say that it has been ridiculed, it has been scorned and it also has been included in several bad sci-fi movie DVD sets you might still be able to find other there.

Depending on who you ask, THE CREEPING TERROR is considered to be one of the “Unholy Three” of bad movies of all time (PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE and ROBOT MONSTER are the other two).

The most obvious funny thing about this is that the “victims” appear to have to throw or pull themselves into the “mouth” of this killer carpet.

This movie is NOT a waste of time when one considers how funny it is in contrast to what it was supposed to be.

Soundtrack music by “Dr. Frederick Kopp”. Let’s hope the Doctor was sued for musical malpractice.

I give this one 2 “Rug Doctors” out of a possible 10.
