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 to do with the budget of the film, it helps. But true cheepnis is exemplified by nylon strings attached to the jaw of a giant spider. tell you, a one that 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 like an ice-cream corn with teeth around the bottom. It like a, like a or a sort of a rounded 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 then he's got a and, you know, ugly mouth and everything, And there's this one scene where the ah monster is out of a cave. There's always a scene where they come out of a cave, at least once. And the of the cast... it musta been made around the 1950's. The lapels are about th at wide, The are about that wide and about this short, And they always have a little revolver they're gonna shoot the monster with. And is always a girl who falls down and twists her ankle. Hey hey! Of there is! You know how they are, the sex and everything, Twisting ankle on behalf of a little ice-cream corn. Well in this scene, In this scene folks, they ah, they didn't wanna it 'cause it musta been so good they wanted to it, but they... When the monster came out of the cave, just over on the left hand of the screen you can see about this much attached to the bottom of the Thing as the guy is pushing it out, And then obviously off-camera somebody's "No! Get it back!" ... and they it back just a little bit as the guy is goin': "KCH! KCH!" Now cheepnis.
Right. And this is cheepnis here: One two four...
