Cheepnis. Let me tell you something, do you monster movies?
(YEAH!)
I love movies, I simply adore monster movies, And the cheaper they are, the they are. And cheepnis in the case of a monster movie has nothing to do the budget of the film, it helps. But true cheepnis is by visible nylon strings attached to the jaw of a giant spider. I'll you, a good one I saw one time, I think the name of the film was "It the world" (YEAH! ) And the... Did you see that one? The monster sort of like an inverted ice-cream corn with teeth around the bottom. It like a, a teepee or a sort of a rounded off pup-tent affair. And ah, it's got on the base of it, I don't know why but a very threatening sight. And then he's got a frown and, you know, ugly 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 musta 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 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 is! You know how they are, the sex and everything, Twisting ankle on behalf of a little ice-cream corn. Well in this particular scene, In scene folks, they ah, didn't wanna re-take it 'cause it musta been so good they wanted to keep it, but they... When the came out of the cave, over 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 this is cheepnis here: One two four...
