Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S06/E06 The Creeping Terror

Original work: The Creeping Terror

Stirling Silliphant was also vaguely involved in the creation of another MST3K classic, "Manos" The Hands of Fate.

The MST3K treatment provides examples of:
"Crow (as mom): Oh, did I suddenly have a baby while I was waving goodbye?"
 * Author Appeal: Mike and the bots surmise, from the decided fixation on women's legs as the monster devours them, that the director has a thing for vore.
 * Clothing Damage: A blink-and-you-miss-it moment. When the monster attacks the dance party, a woman tries to escape, only for a guy to come after her and pull her away tearing her dress top off. Apparently, the picture was too grainy to cut or alter, but the fact that Tom spots it means that they DID know it was there.
 * Credits Gag: The crappy stock music from the movie plays over the end credits, and it continues to run through to the end well after the credits themselves have ended.
 * Does Not Like Men: The coffeehouse poet persona Gypsy takes on during the pretentiousness experiment overflows with hilariously misandristic jabs.
 * Foot Focus: Dr. Forrester rests a bare foot right up in the camera while doing laundry, flossing his toes with one of his socks.
 * Hidden Depths: Turns out Mike is really into stereo systems. The bots are... not so impressed with his setup.
 * Leave the Camera Running: Mike listening to the film's stock music on his stereo system.
 * Paper People: Forrester renders Frank cardboard-thin by running him through a laundry wringer.
 * Pregnancy Tropes: Averted. There's just suddenly a baby.

"Mike: Did anyone in the '50s ever think of running?"
 * Satire: Mike and the bots spend an entire segment sending up Love American Style. They're a couple of decades late.
 * Too Dumb to Live

"My God! What is it?!"
