Cheepnis. Let me you something, do you like monster 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 of the film, although it helps. But true cheepnis is by visible nylon strings attached to the jaw of a giant spider. tell you, a good one I saw one time, I think the name of the was "It conquered the world" (YEAH! ) And the... Did you see that one? The monster looks sort of an inverted ice-cream corn with teeth the bottom. It looks like a, like a teepee or a of a rounded off pup-tent affair. And ah, it's got fangs on the of it, I know why but it's a very threatening sight. And then got a frown and, you know, ugly mouth and everything, And there's this one scene where the ah is coming out of a cave. See? There's a scene where they come out of a cave, at least once. And the of the cast... it been made around the 1950's. The lapels are about like th at wide, The ties are about that and about this short, And they always have a little revolver they're gonna shoot the monster with. And there is always a girl who falls and twists her ankle. Hey hey! Of there is! You know how they are, the sex and everything, their ankle on behalf of a little ice-cream corn. Well in particular scene, In this scene folks, they ah, didn't wanna re-take it 'cause it musta been so good they wanted to keep it, but they... the monster came out of the cave, just on the left hand side of the screen you can see about this much attached to the bottom of the Thing as the guy is pushing it out, And obviously off-camera somebody's 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 is cheepnis here: One two three four...
