Cheepnis. Let me tell you something, do you monster movies?
(YEAH!)
I monster 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 by visible nylon strings attached to the jaw of a spider. I'll tell 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 looks sort of like an inverted ice-cream corn with 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 know why but a very threatening sight. And then he's got a and, you know, ugly mouth and everything, And there's this one where the ah monster is coming out of a cave. There's always a scene where they come out of a cave, at once. And the rest of the cast... it been made around the 1950's. The lapels are about like th at wide, The ties are about wide and about this short, And always have a little revolver that they're gonna shoot the monster with. And there is always a who falls down and twists her ankle. Hey hey! Of course 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... When the came out of the cave, just over on the left hand of the screen you can see about this much two-by-four attached to the of the Thing as the guy is it out, And then obviously off-camera somebody's goin': "No! Get it back!" ... and they drag it back a little bit as the guy is "KCH! KCH!" Now that's cheepnis.
Right. And is cheepnis here: One two three four...
