Cheepnis. Let me you something, do you like monster movies?
(YEAH!)
I love movies, I simply adore monster movies, And the cheaper they are, the better are. And cheepnis in the case of a monster movie has to do with the budget of the film, it helps. But true cheepnis is exemplified by visible nylon attached to the jaw of a giant spider. I'll you, a good one I saw one time, I think the name of the was "It conquered the world" (YEAH! ) And the... Did you ever see that The looks sort of like an inverted ice-cream corn with teeth around the bottom. It like a, like a teepee or a sort of a off pup-tent affair. And ah, it's got on the base of it, I don't why but it's a very threatening sight. And then he's got a frown and, you know, mouth and everything, And there's this one scene where the ah monster is out of a cave. See? There's always a scene where 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 wide 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 down and twists her ankle. Hey hey! Of course is! You know how they are, the sex and everything, Twisting their ankle on behalf of a little corn. Well in this particular scene, In this scene folks, ah, they didn't re-take it 'cause it musta been so good they wanted to keep it, but they... When the monster out of the cave, just over on the hand side of the screen you can see about this much attached to the bottom of the Thing as the guy is it out, And then obviously off-camera somebody's goin': "No! Get it back!" ... and drag it back just a little bit as the guy is goin': "KCH! KCH!" Now cheepnis.
Right. And this is cheepnis One two three four...
