Combine that with a movie about the world's largest mammal and you get "The Blues Blubbers."

All That Jazz (1979) with Roy Scheider.
My third favorite film of all time.
And the best part is I got it for free, right here.

After over two months of assiduously checking Just Watch's New Movies Streaming page, I finally found a So Bad It's Horrible movie that's finally arrived on Tubi. So, it looks like the Deep Hurting Project is back, even if it's just for about 76 minutes.
The Creeping Terror is one of the worst movies featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000. And its backstory is easily more interesting than the film itself. I'll cover details as they come, but here's something to start with: A man named Vic Savage knew another man named Allan Silliphant, brother of Route 66 and Naked City writer Stirling Silliphant. Savage bought a story from Allan and passed it off as something from Stirling. He got investors to fund the movie and even promised cameos for them. He then released this horseshit and ran off with the money, never to be heard from again.
- Somehow, apparently, they got my German History teacher from Columbia to do the music for this movie. He was either just a kid from West Berlin at that point, or not even born yet, but there he is, apparently.
- So, one of the things that happened during the production is that the entire soundtrack was rendered unusable, either because it was just that shoddy or because the audio reels were thrown in a lake. So, for the most part, instead of dialogue, we get narrations from a local radioman.
- One of the more infamous aspects of this film is the monster. The maker of the original costume ended up getting stiffed, so he stole it the day before they were to start shooting. They soldiered ahead with a costume that looks less like the intended giant alien slug and more like a bunch of people in a shag rug carpet. Apparently, conditions inside the carpet were sweltering. At least one of the people inside it ended up getting heat stroke.
- If you thought the idea of a monster made of shag rug carpeting was preposterous, well, apparently, instead of attacking its victims, its victims seem to just crawl into its mouth. Now, as Junji Ito's "The Enigma of Amigara Fault" shows, such a device can be effective... if the monster has mind control powers that compel them to submit to being eaten. Nothing of the sort happens in this movie. It just makes it look even cheaper. Apparently, when Vic Savage was working with Allan Silliphant, Silliphant encouraged Savage to make it campier. Savage refused.
- Perhaps as a sign of how seriously Savage wanted to do this movie, by the time you pick your jaw up off the floor after seeing a woman just feed the carpet monster herself, we get a long-ass sequence devoted to a police sergeant, his wife, and his friend. It's part silent, and you have no idea what the point is, at least until the carpet monster arrives to eat her. At least we don't see her just crawl into its maw this time. Seriously, you're making The Beast of Yucca Flats seem downright competent. And here's my once-over on that movie.
- Don't be alarmed, it won't eat you if you don't try and crawl in its mouth!
- Okay, now it's trying to fuck a car.
- Huh. There's the army for you. Clumping together, slowly inching towards it, shooting at it intermittently, and eventually the commanding officer just tosses a grenade at it.
- So, apparently, the monster was just a computer analysing humans? And the real aliens might not even exist?
