According to rumors, a more impressive looking monster was originally designed and built for the movie. However, only a few days before shooting was to begin, the monster was stolen. Pressed for time and out of money, director Vic Savage and his crew hastily threw together the infamous "pile of carpets" monster that appears in the film.
There were 2 types of movies that made up the average MST3K episode: 1.| The Good/Bad Movie - movies you could watch on their own and still find funny (a la Space Mutiny) 2.| The Bad/Bad Movie - movies that would be virtually unwatchable without Mike and the Bots (or Joel) The Creeping Terror would definitely be the latter. Really amazing how such a boring movie was turned into one of the top 20 best ever episodes of the show.
Has it been almost 3 decades already when this episode came out!? Wow... I wasn't even born yet, and I remember spying on my mother watching certain episodes such as this one.
1:10:55 I remember when this episode first aired on Comedy Central: The promo was just an extended clip of this scene with Mike just standing there listening to the song. I knew then this was the show for me.
It takes a truly visionary filmmaker to create a horror movie about a space monster whose defining characteristic is its terrifying slowness. Kubrick was clearly influenced by this.
One of my favorite bad movie tricks... having a narrator tell the story instead of the actors. I mean, really - they couldn't relate the story through the action and dialog like everyone else?
I’m gonna use Lovecraft logic with this movie and say the reason no one ever really ran from this monster was due to the monster shocking them so badly with its appearance they couldn’t run!
One of their greatest worst movie riffs yet! Especially when there’s barely any dialogue and the main character is a disembodied narrator that describes the movie like he’s reading you a story! “The colonel more concerned with saving human lives than advancing science, told Bradford to “Go to Hell!”
I've watched most of this movie without riffs - yes, voluntarily 😆 And there are so many moments with no dialogue, just goofy music. You truly realize what Mike and the bots add to it.
but instead, thanks to piss-poor acting and effects, the body count is around 50 or more. Eventually this would fit in an overrated adult cartoon because humans in them are as stupid as these ones when it comes to danger.
I know Servo joked about this being a turn on for the director, but I honestly think he might be right. There is basically no plot except for the lumbering monster eating people, and the multiple shots of girls' legs sticking out of the monster while almost seeing up her skirt, it honestly seems a bit pervy to me.
Yeah, I bet some of the movies' lesser known directors are extremely perverted, that they don't know how to make a good protagonist. But that's low-budget movie science for you.
You know; it could be just me, but doesn't Gypsy here sound a lot like Party Phil from the Nintendo game Wii Party? (you know, with her being voiced by a man and all and speaking in a jarring falsetto)?
THIS.... is one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life and TV Tropes calls it one of the worst ever made. I have nothing nice to say about this film. The monster is too damn slow to be effective so everyone has no self preservation skills, the scenes with the monster go on and on and on. It's boring, and I hate it. Star Wars "fans" don't know pain. THIS is pain!
I'm not sure it is fair to say this is the worse movie ever made. Wouldn't they have needed to actually finish it with real dialogue to say it was fully made? This feels like a rough draft they never got back to...

Oh look, an audio book with moving pictures!
This movie came out 30 years before the episode. The episode came out 30 years before now. I am 100 years old.
Holy...
The Creepy Carpet is one of my favorite MST3Ks!
monsters are people too
here we come
so timely
This shows the dangers of hootenannies. had they settled for a shindig they would have been fine.
Or even a Hulabaloo.
My favorite part of streaming, classic episode returns is live-chatting w/the community of our favorite memories & experiences. Thnx for the upload!

Nothing more terrifying than a monster you can easily run away from.
Time to swing to that pulse-pounding highschool dance music loop.
The monster looks like the love child of a centipede and a satin comforter.
Doesn't anybody in the 50s know how to run? Best line ever.
The army, on the other hand, is trained in close-quarter tactics. Stay together in a tight cluster and slowly approach the target. Do not tetreat.
Which is odd the movie was made in the 60s
I had this one on DVD....watched it all the time!
"Well, it IS 'creeping' You gotta give it that" 🤣🤣🤣
Ah, one of the true classic episodes.
35:22 "What? Is that a less dreary existence I see out there?"
😂😂❤🎉❤😂😂
Has it been almost 3 decades already when this episode came out!? Wow... I wasn't even born yet, and I remember spying on my mother watching certain episodes such as this one.
That audiophile Mike segment is so damn funny 😂

Hello to mst fans 👋
Hi!!! 👋🏻
Howdy
Hello ‘dere 👋
Oh hey
Wassuppppp
The monster is so slow moving, that victims would have time to run away, resume their original position and run away again.
The guy in the monster suit must've been sweating like it was a sauna when wearing that thing in the day.
"Where *are* your fine washables??" 😂 Love TV's Frank!!
Dr.Forrester doesn’t deserve him.
Man, this movie just would not work without the five minute long scene of a woman taking a baby's temperature and hanging laundry.
Just like thanksgiving day
I kept flashing back to Princess Leia: "Get this walking carpet out of my way!!"
I think creeping is an understatement.
The meandering terror.
Alien was lucky it landed on a planet where people don't run from danger but prefer to just scream at it.
It creeps. It terrorizes. Job well done.
That little bit of drool coming from Tom at 2:35, perfection.
My riff: Being old and crippled makes this flick even funnier, realizing hey- even I can outpace the cosmic conga carpet!!
"Hey if you could help me out by climbing in"
Servo’s outfits are so cute
poor cambot wasn't even put on the flag...
The filmmakers really tried some stuff with this one
my favorite part is when they don't have any jokes and they're just laughing at the movie
7:44 This is pretty damn' good too!!!
"When a monster and a small car love each other very much..."
15:23 The PERFECT MST3K Riff!!!
I'm always in the mood for a little Creeping Terror!
You guys know that Nylartotep is the creeping terror in the Necronomicon! 💀😈👹
Silent movies had better mood music. I wish I was joking.
"Think this is a weird little turn-on for the director"
Oh, the wonderful innocent days before the Internet...
Yes now we know it’s called ‘vore’ 😐
I hope no one farted under that rug during filming.
they obviously had heatstroke.
I keep thinking about the folks that watched this without the insight of MST3K. Life is so much richer now.
It takes a truly visionary filmmaker to create a horror movie about a space monster whose defining characteristic is its terrifying slowness. Kubrick was clearly influenced by this.
How could a walking carpet being so scary? A guy in the bear suit from Santa Claus conquers the martians was more scarier than that.
This is where the original term, "Carpet munching" came from.
Oscars for Tom Servo and Crow
Yes! Been searching years for this.
The story behind this movie would make a 10 times better movie.
Vic Savages's Story would make a better movie
That movie is called The Creep Behind the Camera.
@@BlueOceanBelow I just read about it after I posted this.
Remember, in filmmaking: tell, don’t show 🤨
Well I`m speechless at the groundbreaking visual effects. We can now see where that 30 million budget being put to it`s full potential.......
One of my personal favs!!!
The Creeping Terror. My daily soundtrack
One of my favorite bad movie tricks... having a narrator tell the story instead of the actors. I mean, really - they couldn't relate the story through the action and dialog like everyone else?
16:34 And ANOTHER!!!
MCI what does that mean? As a Fnaf fnaf I only hear it as missing children incident
is that Peewee Herman? 53:00 he sure can cut a rug!
6:28 I have not laughed so fucking hard in a long time!!!
my favorite mst3k
K.D. Lang joke hit me outta nowhere😅
I’m gonna use Lovecraft logic with this movie and say the reason no one ever really ran from this monster was due to the monster shocking them so badly with its appearance they couldn’t run!
"The Creeping Meandering Dirty Carpet Monster"
😅hilarious classic
MST3K IS COOL! 🦴
This movie proves that Marriage is the TRUE Creeping Terror...
Forced Marriage and Heterosexual marriage, that is.
“BOBBY! BOOOOOOOOOOBY!”
The point of view of Helen Keller...I can't believe I missed that one.
Someone green-lit and paid for this movie to be made.
This is def one of the “worst” cheesy movies they ever did and it’s perfect for the show.
star trek sound effects 22:57 ?
I never knew a "tent dress" was a real thing.
One of their greatest worst movie riffs yet!
Especially when there’s barely any dialogue and the main character is a disembodied narrator that describes the movie like he’s reading you a story!
“The colonel more concerned with saving human lives than advancing science, told Bradford to “Go to Hell!”
I've watched most of this movie without riffs - yes, voluntarily 😆
And there are so many moments with no dialogue, just goofy music. You truly realize what Mike and the bots add to it.
@1:06:10. At least he got to rock his car once in his life.
30:30 "My answer is yes!" One million comedy points
It's amazing how the body count in this movie could have been zero if everyone had just mastered one crucial skill: walking.
but instead, thanks to piss-poor acting and effects, the body count is around 50 or more. Eventually this would fit in an overrated adult cartoon because humans in them are as stupid as these ones when it comes to danger.
Why were the xenomorphs only found on LV-246? Because they were wiped out by the ferocious creeping terror beasts!
❤️❤️❤️

*ENH! HEH HA, HEH HAHAHA! **_AAH JERRY, NO!!_*
Ken's Wolf Powers sent me here.
00:02:47 "4.35 an hour".
Gypsy is my kind of lady!
It seems the narrator is less a framing device and more a means of minimizing the number of speaking roles.
the creeping Gumby
I saw this when I saw 8 or 9 and TBH it freaked me out.
Today it just makes me laugh.
It's so bad and yet... I could see it getting a remake!
Did you see it unriffed or riffed? I remember seeing a little bit of it riffed as a kid because my parents watched this episode.
You know; it could be just me, but doesn't Gypsy here sound a lot like Party Phil from the Nintendo game Wii Party? (you know, with her being voiced by a man and all and speaking in a jarring falsetto)?
This movie is full of filler. The whole plot might take up ten minutes and I'm being generous.😅
DCM Time Windows. Nice. But aren't the original ones the best? Not familiar with the 7s.

Star Wars "fans" don't know pain. THIS is pain!
For free?!
The creeping terror describes my ole' lady when she crawls out of bed in the morning 😂
What's up y'all? 😜
👍🐸👍
hi honey, pregnant yet?
Anyone who says the Creeping Terror is better than the Star Wars Sequels is a LIAR.
This movie was actually voted the worst movie ever made.
I'm not sure it is fair to say this is the worse movie ever made. Wouldn't they have needed to actually finish it with real dialogue to say it was fully made? This feels like a rough draft they never got back to...
"thunk" lol 33:26
