Cheepnis. Let me tell you something, do you like movies?
(YEAH!)
I monster movies, I simply adore monster movies, And the cheaper they are, the better are. And cheepnis in the case of a movie has nothing to do with the budget of the film, it helps. But cheepnis is exemplified by visible nylon strings attached to the jaw of a giant spider. I'll you, a one that I saw one time, I think the name of the was "It conquered the world" (YEAH! ) And the... Did you ever see one? The monster looks sort of like an inverted ice-cream corn teeth around the bottom. It like a, like a teepee or a sort of a off pup-tent affair. And ah, got fangs on the base of it, I don't why but it's a very threatening sight. And he's got a frown and, you know, ugly mouth and everything, And there's one scene where the ah monster is coming out of a cave. See? There's always a scene they come out of a cave, at least once. And the of the cast... it musta been around the 1950's. The lapels are about like th at wide, The ties are about wide and about this short, And they have a little revolver that they're gonna shoot the with. And there is always a girl who falls down and twists her ankle. Hey hey! Of course there is! You how they are, the sex and everything, Twisting their ankle on behalf of a little corn. Well in this scene, In this scene folks, they ah, they didn't wanna re-take it 'cause it musta so good they wanted to keep it, but they... When the monster out of the cave, just over on the left hand side of the screen you can see this two-by-four attached to the bottom of the Thing as the guy is pushing it out, And then obviously off-camera goin': "No! Get it back!" ... and drag it back just a little bit as the guy is "KCH! KCH!" Now that's cheepnis.
Right. And this is cheepnis One two three four...
