Cheepnis. Let me tell you something, do you like movies?
(YEAH!)
I love monster movies, I adore monster movies, And the they are, the better they are. And cheepnis in the case of a monster has nothing to do with the budget of the film, it helps. But cheepnis is exemplified by visible nylon strings attached to the jaw of a spider. I'll 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 ever see that The monster looks sort of like an ice-cream corn with teeth around the bottom. It looks 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 know why but 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 they come out of a cave, at least once. And the 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 they always a little revolver that 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, their ankle on behalf of a little ice-cream corn. Well in this particular scene, In scene folks, they ah, they didn't wanna re-take it 'cause it musta been so good wanted to keep it, but they... When the monster out of the cave, just 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 then off-camera somebody's goin': "No! Get it back!" ... and they drag it back just a bit as the guy is "KCH! KCH!" Now that's cheepnis.
Right. And is cheepnis here: One two three four...
