Blancmange attacks!

 

 

 

I had to do a little checking, but I now think the writers/producers of the goddawful "The Creeping Terror" took their inspiration from this funny book.

The timeline is about right and the film's production staff would have taken the highly polished Charlton product as the benchmark for their filmic endeavours.

And it shows.

The film is truly terrible, and not always in a "so-bad-it's-good" way.

Interesting supposition there Mr DC, I've not yet had the pleasure of that film. My first thought was "Island of Terror", the Cushing masterpiece. Very similar creepies....

Did the space ship turn around before we got the answer to the question or are U-turns in space the worst danger?

To be fair, his wing mirror was broken and everything.

Thank goodness for the Forgotten Anusol Retrieval Tech.

I'd be worried without it.

Vital tech for sure jim. Although I have to say, the last batch tasted so bad I may as well have stuck it up my 'r's :p
