It’s Just A Show

163. You Can Never Really Tell How Dirty It Is. [MST3K 606. The Creeping Terror.]


Listen Later

Happy (belated) Halloween! The Creeping Terror slowly approaches Chris and Charlotte and overhears them discussing carpet samples, Vic Savage, Ed Wood, avant-garde composers, and Love, American Style!

Content warning for mentions of domestic and sexual abuse. We give a warning before these topics come up. Skip ahead to the chapter on Love, American Style at 46:36 to avoid it.

Show Notes.

The Creeping Terror (Vic Savage, 1964): MST3K Wiki. IMDB. Watch on YouTube.

We talked about the 2005 remake of The Fog (John Carpenter, 1980) in our episode on The Slime People.

Andrew J. Robinson: A Stitch in Time.

Our episodes on Manos and the one with Johnny at the Fair.

The Creep Behind the Camera (Pete Schuermann, 2014).

So! Robert Silliphant is credited for writing the story for The Creeping Terror. He also wrote the screenplay for The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!? According to the documentary, his brother Allan Silliphant was the one who wrote the story, not Robert. Also, Vic Savage was trying to cash in on the fame of Allan’s more successful brother, Stirling Silliphant. It’s all very confusing.

Lois Wiseman: Hollywood Con Man.

Street-Fighter (Vic Savage, 1959).

We also mentioned the Spahn Ranch in our episode on Wild Rebels.

Jon Lackey sounds amazing.

Richard Edlund has also done some good work.

A letter from Frederick Kopp.

The amazing theme song to Love, American Style.

Our episode on The Green Slime.

Edgard Varèse: Ionisation (this is the specific recording we talk about), Poème electronique, and Density 21.5.

Frank’s letter to Varèse, his later thoughts on Varèse, and another essay by Frank, “The Idol of My Youth”.
