The Trollenberg Terror

watched

The Crawling Eye.

That's actually a good movie.

Yeah, I watched it about a month ago.

Yeah,

and I was actually surprised though.

So first of all for with the the crawling eye I would suggest that there's a strong linkage between Arthur Conan Doyle's The Horror in the Heights, The Crawling Eye, and Nope.

In

Animaniacs did a Barney parody when it came out.

Even Freakanzoid shouted out MST3K by having one episode, Cloud, parrying the opening of The Crawling Eye, which is the first movie they riffed.

Yeah, that's odd that a Ruger production would go after, not go after, but they would do something with MST3K.

Very cool.

Although he returned to the States after these, he was asked back by Hammer for The Abominable Snowman.

And following this, he remained in the UK to appear in the sci-fi movie The Trollenberg Terror, also known as The Crawling Eye, and the unintentionally hilarious low budget, The Strange World of Planet X. I have to admit that I have a huge soft spot for The Strange World of Planet X, not least because it makes me laugh out loud every time I watch it.

As of the time of recording, it's currently available on YouTube in admittedly a less than brilliant copy, sometimes under its alternative title of Cosmic Monsters.

And I do recommend checking it out if you're looking for something that at times seems like a parody of 1950s sci-fi.
