The Creeping Terror (1964)





A newlywed sheriff tries to stop a shambling monster that has emerged from a spaceship to eat people.

This is truly a baddie, and it includes one of the most ridiculous monsters in cinema history: basically a large long carpet, the front part stand fairly upright, has penis-like tentacles up on top and a vulva-shaped mouth at the bottom. Must be seen to believed.

You'll find a cool article and frame-to-frame analysis here.

Narrator: He slowly asked Bradford what was in store for humanity. Bradford was pessimistic, but implied that maybe all was not lost. After all, he told him, the vastness of the universe was incredible. If these monsters had come from its outer limits, their home might even no longer exist. Or if they do come again, perhaps Man will have advanced enough to cope with them, and those that made them. Only God knows for sure, were Bradford's last words to anyone on this Earth.
