Cheepnis. Let me you something, do you like monster movies?
(YEAH!)
I love movies, I simply adore monster movies, And the they are, the better 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 visible strings attached to the jaw of a spider. I'll tell you, a good one I saw one time, I think the of the film was "It conquered 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 looks a, like a teepee or a sort of a rounded off affair. And ah, got fangs on the base of it, I don't know why but a very threatening sight. And he's got a frown and, you know, ugly mouth and everything, And there's this one scene where the ah monster is out of a cave. See? There's always a scene they come out of a cave, at once. And the rest of the cast... it musta been made around the 1950's. The are about like th at wide, The ties are about wide and about this short, And they always have a little that 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, Twisting their on behalf of a little ice-cream corn. Well in particular scene, In this scene folks, they ah, they didn't wanna re-take it 'cause it musta been so good they to keep it, but they... the monster came out of the cave, just over on the hand side of the screen you can see about this much two-by-four 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 One two three four...
