What Waits Below (1984)

[@ForteanTN]

This flick was filmed right outside my small Middle Tennessee Town, in Cumberland Caverns.

[@janetcraft]

Nice :)!

[@Perseusgorgonslayer]

if only you could have snuck on set and creeped around in the background during filming. Missed opportunity there squire!!!

[@janetcraft]

@@Perseusgorgonslayer Or get a job working on the set :)

[@burtrangle3546]

60 crew members were overcome by fumes because they used generators underground.

[@cameroncooper9501]

Too cool!

[@LeonardoTDragon]

That was a surprisingly fun film. Some mystery, some action... and some things left to the imagination. I'm glad they filmed (most) of it in actual caves instead of 100% on set as it helped to add to the atmosphere. Still, the most surprisingly well-lit caves I've seen since the mines on original Star Trek's Devil in the Dark!

[@andreaso8886]

One of the movies I watched with my dad when I was twelve. I remember how much fun we had. Thank you for the good memories, bittersweet as they are now, but still thank you.

[@hosgs14]

The 80's were the best years

[@garylangley3149]

Oh s*** ! Talk about a blast from the past. Haven't seen this in over 25 or so years. Thank you 🤝

[@deandavis8165]

From The Garage Journal: Some may have heard the term "monkey wrench". The origin of that term is associated with the young factory workers of those days. Kids between 15 to 20 years old, being agile and enthusiastic, were employed to do the work, often dirty, grease laden work. The tool of the trade for them was the F-type wrench (the earliest form of the adjustable wrench), not because they didn't need to carry a full set of wrenches with them, but because there was no standardization set for fasterners at the time (a set of SAE sized wrenches would've have done them much good at the time). Because these kids were working above ground, the end of the handle had a hole so that they could tie their wrenches to themselves. Working in the steamy, greasy work environment, navigating from station to station above ground, these maintenance workers were then aptly named "grease monkeys", and their tool of the trade was tagged with the name "monkey wrench".

[@michaellyczak9337]

Or - and hear me out - because it was invented and patented by a fellow whose last name was Moncke, thus 'Monke's wrench', later slipping into 'monkey wrench'.

[@jennymartinez4597]

Wow😮 I learn something new everyday! Thanks for the in-depth explanation 🥰

It's 1984 so whatever waits below will have big hair and shoulder pads.

The best quality version of this movie that I’ve seen. Excellent work.

[@Bravo2uniform]

Filmed in Warren county, TN, the cave is Cumberland Caverns. Roy Davis, owner of Cumberland Caverns, was a technical advisor on this film. Interestingly, a few miles from Cumberland Caverns there was a seismographic station built to assist in detecting nuclear underground testing (operated by Texas Instruments). They got the rock strata right - but that's about all. I think they filmed some scenes entering through the historic entrance. This is the entrance that Hoghenbotham found.

I love Tangella! Please don't remove. Keep the good stuff coming.

[@Sammy_Boy_Smith]

Good film! I was gonna write in with this request too. Lol

[@ikd3240]

I watched this movie last year and found it fun and entertaining. You uploaded a nice, clean copy, too.

[@shadowlands4490]

Yes! An underrated movie with the brilliant Robert Powel.

[@bobp6742]

Remember he did the "detectives" with jasper carrot, very funny but short lived program

[@shadowlands4490]

Yeah, I watched a Christmas episode during the holidays. The Detectives is hilarious.

[@amandathomas0612]

Creature Features is the best! I look forward to seeing you guys every week! I'm enjoying the movie. Thank you! ❤️

[@oscarr.g.509]

That was so cheesy in a fun way that deserves a second part, lol. Thanks guys, you're great !

[@davidmueller2445]

The sequel could be better than part 1.

[@michaelmoran3372]

Boy, there sure was a lot of light in that cave.

[@manuelluisnavarro7701]

Thank you, Vincent and Tanggela! I liked the film, especially the ending. Respect for the culture and civilation of others including those of troglodytes.

[@mikebasil4832]

What Waits Below and John Carpenter’s Prince Of Darkness are my two fondest memories of Lisa Blount. R.I.P., Lisa. 💓

[@rosspatrick3248]

A pretty good thriller. Don't remember this film being available to rent from my time working in a video store. Good direction, nice pacing, good set design ( a real cave helps). The tension buiëds up quite nicely. Thanks Creature Features!!

[@darrinneat2920]

I used to watch the original Creature feature back year's ago.. And I think.. Yall do it justice ❤

[@f.sense888]

Wow, Robert Powell!!!! I remember him playing Jesus for TV when I was a child . His eyes were impressively catching.

[@GolfMike09]

He used to do a sitcom with Comedian Jasper Carrot called The Detectives, they are on YT.

[@Jezza-m5k]

This is how all movie presentations ought to be - genius! And they'll be back during the intermission...

[@kurtstaley631]

I doen't know how this movie is? I am here. It is my mom's birthday now, today she turning 96. Ya I am alone with you to watch the movie all the rest the night. Who is going to sit here tonight. And livingston has been missing for a long time.

[@annic7995]

Great movie! Fun to watch on a Friday night. Thank you kreature features

[@shadowlands4490]

Great to see What Waits Below on Creature Features. It’s like an old school 60s sci-fi film but made in the 80s. Thank you Creature Features 🤙

[@philipmorris4843]

Timothy Bottoms was in one of my favorite westerns The Outlaw Josie Wales. Last time seeing Richard Johnson was on an episode of Midsummer Murders. Lisa Blount was in some big budget Hollywood films after this one. Liked this movie, got much better after a slow start

[@jimmiemcwhirt8735]

The beautiful Lisa Blount. She was also in John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness.

[@KeithPrince-cp3me]

Here in the UK due to the time difference Creature Feature Friday becomes Creature Feature Saturday but whatever the day it's a fantastic show from a fantastic team

[@Axgoodofdunemaul]

Movie is interesting; landscape, tents, uniforms gave me a Vietnam War flashback. I like the way the director handled the Lemurians. I was always on the lookout for oddities when I was in the war, and I saw plenty.

[@lonegunman1960]

For those of you too young to understand. Even in subtropical jungles or the heat and humidity that came from volcanoes or while fighting for your very life deep underground with people covered in flour.....You NEVER let anything mess up your hair! In the 1980's, hair was everything!

[@luminousfractal420]

other than a cometary bombardment there wasnt much getting through that hair spray. 80's smelt of hairspray 😂...and brut for men😫

[@timerunner9164]

Yes, hair was everything! I still don't let anyone touch my hair! Lol!!

The film begins talking about "Galiath" satagmite in Cathedral Gardens, AL. It says it's 900k yrs old. One in Carlsbad Caverns, NM, is 60M yrs old

Dont anyone wander off alone. Guy wanders off alone. Gets bitten by creature, survives. So they send him off alone, to return to the surface. You can guess how that turns out.

[@garyc39]

Lisa Blount was in a lot of movies like An officer and a Gentleman, but mostly b movies before she died.

[@agnethaladuff8559]

Awesome Creature Freatures with Vincent and Tangella. The movie What Waits Bellow is a cool movie.

[@rr-cp9ud]

Lisa Blount passed away 2010 - she was Debra Winger s friend Lynette in an officer and a gentleman

[@robertcarlsen2914]

Lisa Blount was a very good underrated actress; she was much better at her role than Debra Winger. She had a shine to her. She was really wonderful. Loved her. RIP Sweet Lisa❤

The lead actor looks like he's shriveled up at 30. What's up with is face? Nice to see Timothy, Lisa, and company. Interesting cast. Always love going through oldies with Vincent and Tangela, so glad you give us Fridays now. Fifties style Sci fi is fun. The military, the scholars, the pretty woman, loved this once we finally got to the cave.

This movie was so bad and I loved it. Thanks again

Watching this now but for some reason this movie reminds me of (2005) The Descent but with different characters. I wonder if this movie is where they got the inspiration for The Descent?

[@ADarkandStormyNight]

I saw this movie on tv when I was a kid, and have often wondered what it was. Never figured it out until now :)

Dang! Didn’t know Belize had been relocated to South America. I left it right next door to Guatemala and Honduras.👍🏼

The thing that I will remember most from this film is the main cave dweller wearing fuzzy slippers.

[@ZENmud]

Great sound fX during the intro ~ especially the wrench throw by our delicious malicious coquette Tangella 🎉❤ 11:58 😂😂 if that's a crazy helicopter shot, then I wonder if the pilot was near the Twilight Zone episode that Vic Morrow regretted filming? It's dizzier that watching drone shots from World Cup downhill races😂😂!!

Great fun flick! Different than the usual. Very creative. Sort of combines syfy with a kind of twist. I just finished it and will watch again.

[@roberthpilesund384]

Not the most exiting movie, but making spelunking thrilling in a movie is hard. I do however love some really wonderful matte paintings in the caves. I was sad to learn about the early death of Lisa Blount, i loved her in Prince of Darkness.

My friend Jackson Bostwick plays Hunter Prime. He's listed in the credits. His white face make up and contact lenses are a far cry from his most famous role of Captain Marvel in 1974's "Shazam!"

Reading the description I was thinking the underground creature from the Time Machine and also the ones who fought the soldiers in March of the Wooden Soldiers.
