I started rock climbing 8 months ago because of this comment. So glad I found it again.. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your assurance, that decapitation is normal.. Together with a friend I started with pebbles&gravel and we have now worked our way up to river rocks. Next week we start on our first boulder and I can tell you I am a bit nervous. My head hasn´t detached once in training, so it´s perfectly safe, I agree. Any tips on how to tackle my first boulder? I have great boots!

+Troy Thomas And bring back its original title, The Trollenberg Terror- that way it doesn’t spoil the monster right in the title. >.>

[@leegaul2161]

It's why horror movies before the 70s were so good, because their primary element is suspense and pacing, and that's the bread and butter of good horror story telling. All they needed was the imagery to balance the act, and that's what we have now with all the talent and years of refinement. Get the right director and practical effects studio, and it could be a revised masterpiece.

[@NathanTarantlawriter]

I think it really needs a reboot.

[@BoojumFed]

Yeah, there are the bones of a decent supernatural thriller buried in there. Strong tones of Lovecraft with the psychic interference, probing newspaper man, local villager fodder, and scientific/ government personnel with a vague, ill defined history in the field. Better effects budget and maybe Carpenter or Peele directing...

When this movie finally was shown on TV it was on too late at night for me. I had a bed-time in the fourth grade! This was around 1964-ish-ish. I heard about it at school the next day, from those more fortunate or sneaky than myself. In fact it was THE major TV sensation of the whole semester.

Used to watch these all the time cause my grandma had an old TV with the super old version of Netflix, she had it till 2019 when her house got struck by lightning and it wiped out her TV, so she had to get a new one. When she did, she obviously got a new one and it had all the updated apps and stuff. Couldn’t find this show for years after. Y’all are awesome.

[@alexkarman4679]

This is actually one of the highest quality movies they ever riffed. It had a quality script, acting, direction, cinematography, sound, scenery, and editing. Just no money for the inevitable aliens v humans showdown. And no money for real outdoor action scenes. But it is actually a pretty descent movie.

12:12 Is a reference to rear projection, a special effect in which foreground action is combined with filmed action that is then projected onto a screen within the scene. It is commonly used to simulate the movement of a vehicle that is in reality stationary. So the scene outside the rear window is actually another movie. Hence, "They've being followed by a movie."

[@elafimilo8199]

Among other films, that effect was used in Casablanca.

[@indy_go_blue6048]

[@ragamuffin92]

Old news, I'm sure, but the comment "Hey, don't open that door, McGee" at 48:25 was a reference to an old radio show, "Fibber McGee and Molly," which used a running gag about a hall closet that was crammed full with a lot of stuff that came crashing out, whenever the door was opened. On each show, Molly would warn her husband Fibber, but he always opened it, anyway.

That they dreamed up this whole bad movie shoot a man in space together Idea as a team. They put the idea into action and are good friends. Whereas Frank is just some flunky that he hired after Larry went missing. Not an equal at all and more his employee than his pal like Larry was.

The cool thing about this one is that I watch it for the riffs, but it still ends up drawing me into the story. For different reasons I feel like I could watch this one and War of the Colossal Beast by themselves. This one because I feel like I could watch it and enjoy it by itself, the latter because I remember all the jokes and laugh the whole way through. Rifftrax doing Horror Express made me feel the same way as this though, it's a legitimately interesting movie even without jokes.

[@craigguerrero1383]

I feel the same way. I've probably watched Cave-Dwellers and Gunslinger no less than 100 times. In every episode there is something new. The skits in-between the movies are also funny and well done.

Freakazoid! had an episode that was beat for beat based on The Crawling Eye ("The Cloud"). It's one of the best episodes of Season 1, and having seen it a lot as a child it was quite a trip to see this and have something from when I was six just *click* into place.

Eye guess they'll just have to recieved 20 lashes, followed by 40 winks.

Beware the Eyes that March !

Minnesota original that keeps getting better

"Aren't you too fat to be climbing a mountain?"

[@kylestubbs8867]

"Yes. Yes I am."

[@irishgrl]

I remember watching this as a little girl in the 60s & one scene in particular(bear with me, I’m going on 65 yrs of memory here) was where the monster was discovered inside a wall (I think) and all I remember was tentacles & an eye…and I’ve tried & tried to remember the name of the movie & never could UNTIL I saw the thumbnail…it looks very much like the monster I remembered…now if it’s inside a wall it’s a home run!!!

[@pretorious700]

The premise of this old clunker is actually pretty interesting.

[@SuperNiceteeth]

Maybe it's because of the other MST3K episodes I've seen but the monster in this movie actually does look kinda freaky.

[@morivcc]

"It's the fall that'll kill you" is a reference to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

[@ripsumrall8018]

It's a lot older than that!

[@HungryForTastyFoodAndComicArt]

The uncut European version is a fab little film, better than the USA "cut for TV" version.

[@SamuelBoreas]

The Crawling Eye, the Marty Feldman story! Sorry couldn't help myself.

[@maxcardun]

+Squall Leonhart Starring Forrest Tucker ohhhh he's the guy that makes sure the tree's shirt tails are tucked in.

[@traveller800]

+(Squall Leonhart) Donnie eye caramba

[@TheGenericNerd]

+maxcardun I thought that read 'Forest Whitaker' at first, but I guess I just still had crooked eyes on the brain.

[@dragonranger2138]

+maxcardun This film looks kinda familiar. Doesn't it?

[@MethodicalMadness]

OH, SNAP! X-D

[@jamarehire2011]

I pretend Tom Servo is 'out of town' for these episodes and his cousin, Morty Servo is making a guest appearance just until Kevin Murphy arrives lol

[@SirDragonhawk]

With all those burning eyes they will need a really big bottle of Visine. Its odd they never did a yodel riff, not even a Riiicooolaa.

[@dariowiter3078]

😆😆😆😆😆

[@TheGenericNerd]

This is the best quality I've ever seen this episode.

[@lisvender]

I can't believe that Pennywise expected to scare anyone by turning into this thing.

[@MinscFromBaldursGate92]

It worked with Richie Tosler.

[@ilsebailey2014]

Hilarious commentary. So glad these were uploaded!

[@jeg5gom]

I got an eyelash stuck in my eye at the end of this movie. I'm NOT kidding!! AAAaaand it's FREEZING outside! Oh, wait, it's December in Chicago. But still... my EYE!! 😱👁

[@pwned3281]

tyvm i love u guys so much i heard another season's getting made on netflix too that's awesome ty for uploading these so i can watch them before bed and chill just like I did watching them growing up too

[@Edmar_Fecler]

you can really feel Joel's *ire* for all the puns by the end if the movie. ;D

[@shamanlab]

If i live in 1958 and i saw this movie in the theater i probably enjoy it very well.

[@GrimmShadowsII]

Yeah, especially compared to some of the movies on MST3K it's not really that bad. Mostly it's the effects that make it seem bad but I think for the time it was made, they weren't too bad, not saying they're the best even for the time, it just hasn't aged well which makes it seem really bad.

[@zoppie]

"He's gonna light up his nose!" Lucille Ball actually did that in an episode of "I Love Lucy."

[@mariakelly1059]

That was a great episode! William Holden guest starred on that episode. I liked that one!

[@lucidexistance1]

Wow, I didn't know anything with the old "frank" still existed. I remember loving this when I was too young to understand any of the references. It was just... robots and old movies.. that's funny!

On this day in 1989....

[@wadecarmen7501]

I saw Batman and didn't have pants on!

[@angusmacfrankenstein7227]

Wade Carmen Robin?

[@heathinvaderstudios]

I thought it was 1988?

[@brentsohlden966]

I used to watch the newer ones when I was a teenager. The older ones aren't half bad.

[@indy_go_blue6048]

"There's nothing so bad as something that's half bad." -The Scarlet Pimpernel (only he said "not bad.")

[@SWcarlosspicyweiner]

"now heres somethin' you'll really like" is a reference to Rocky and Bullwinkle

[@tabbysmithfield3794]

Smashlie only so many people left old enough to know that, lol!

[@mattmatthews5414]

And all these years I thought it was a Primus reference to a Residents reference to a Audrey Hepburn reference to The Bible.

[@davejones5640]

Hey Rocky watch me pull a rabbit outta my hat. Again, that trick never works.

[@cneterer]

@@davejones5640 Nuthin' up muh sleeve. Presto!

[@marccolten9801]

I saw this movie in the theater and had a HUGE crush on Janet Munro. Also in The Day The Earth Caught Fire.

[@Ishtarru]

There's not nearly enough Crawling Eye in this movie.

[@jeffreyquisenberry9021]

Here are a few annotations for the first 18 minutes: 7:31: Originally titled "The Trollenberg Terror", a remake of the 1956 British TV serial of the same name. 13:50: Laurence Payne (reporter Philip Truscott) is the only actor to reprise his role from the serial. 15:10 [after "you must have read about it in a book"]: Or maybe she saw the serial, where Ann was played by Rosemary Miller instead of Janet Munro here. 15:37 [after "You've been here before" / "A couple of years ago"]: This might sound like a callback, but there was no Alan Brooks in TV version, and certainly no Forrest Tucker. 17:40: A "col" is a dip or "saddle" between mountain peaks.

[@charlesaguilar1708]

Thank you Jeff! It was originally called " the Trollenberg Terror". My family and I watched it on Bob Wilkins " Creature Features ".

[@j.m.watkins5169]

"They'll drink anything!!!" lmao The best!!!

Servo: "How do you explain head cheese?" Joel: "I don't explain head cheese, but here's some people who do." [Round Table Pizza ad plays]

[@admiralhowdy]

5:16 lol so funny, they couldn't afford a button until episode 4.

[@drxcreatures]

Right?

[@danwroy]

I love the completely dead-faced "Robot Roll Call"

[@JacobMKeeneAKADrPepperKing]

The design of the aliens is a real eye-opener.

[@jjusticenm]

At about 6:25 minutes, when Tom uses the term, repelling, is a play on the term, rappelling, meaning to move down a steep slope (as a cliff) by pushing the feet against its surface and sliding down a rope.

[@unclefreddieDied]

Thanks Capt

[@RobertEWaters]

Somebody should have put a lid on "The Crawling Eye."

[@kirnpu]

Followed by The Eyeger Sanction - love it!
