In bad moviedom, using "Creature" in the title is a cop-out. It sounds scary, but it doesn't actually tell us anything. Like "Being" or "Thing", it effectively says "Monster", but is pretty vague about it.
It tells me that the monster will ultimately be lame.
I prefer when monster movies tell you right up front what monster you're gonna get: Giant Leeches. Birds. Giant Gila Monsters. Godzilla. 50 Foot Women. Fog. Killer Shrews. Killer Tomatoes. Killer Klowns. Radioactive Hamsters from a Planet Near Mars.
But just saying "the Creature"? Sounds like they have something to hide. And that something is probably a guy in a black jump suit with a bulbous head attached. Or a rubber gill-man who flails around underwater a lot. Or it's just a bunch of wind effects and a hypnotist. Or, worst of all, Ray Dennis Steckler in a hoodie. *shudder*

I don't know. I like all these episodes but none are in my favorites. I should just pick Eye Creatures for the most endearing typo of all time.

Eye Creatures for me too. The other episodes aren't among my favorites. Besides, how can you go wrong with a movie that screws up its own title? ;D

Eye Creatures is a great episode, but I'm leaning towards the pure, hilarious pain that The Incredibly Strange Creatures... provides.

Eye Creatures for the oily guy, and "They just didn't care" showing the eye creature costumes with the zipper, etc.

I like all these eps, and two are of really horrible movies. (I'd say The She Creature is only semi-horrible, and Revenge is passably bad.) So I voted for something, but I've forgotten what already.

So I voted for something, but I've forgotten what already. The perfect approach for these polls. Well done. |

TY. Once again, I read your initial post after I voted/posted, and now I have a question. I didn't get that Ray Dennis Steckler was supposed to be becoming a zombie. The other zombies in Maoam Estrella's place were really bad-looking. (Well, okay, Dennis isn't cute or anything, but you know what I mean, his face was still all in one piece by the end.) And the other zombies weren't doing any killing, were they? I thought she was just punishing them for being feelthee peegs by hynotizing them into ugliness and them keeping them locked up in back.
I'm often confused about the plots of these movies. Is that just me? A sign of incipient Alzheimer's"? If ISCWSLABMUZ made sense, please help me by explaing that, Mr A. (or anyone.)

Eye Ceatures.
For the aforementioned "Oily Guy" in his (shudder) ManDress. Plus the Creepy Peeper Twins, the Adidas-wearing "Creatures", and the old man that hated the fact that no one wanted to go to Lover's Lane with HIM.

I went with She Creature just because she got the rawest deal. Yeah, Black Lagoon Creature got shot (as did the Incredibly Strange Creatures) and the Eye Creatures went up in smoke, but damn, She Creature was just hangin' in the Paleolithic, eating bugs, conditioning her hair, bra shopping, when she's hauled into the 1950s by a creepy little hypnotist with a yen for fame and hopeless crush on a carnival follower--to kill random necking teenagers and British-y old guys! Do your own dirty work, ya bastard!
Okay, girlfriend, I got the Haagen-Daaz, let's dish!

I had to go with Eye Creatures as it is one of my all time favorite episdoes. There was so much to riff here this movie is funny even without the MSTing. Why there's the grumpy old man who hates smoochers, the oily guy in the dress, the disembodied hand doing the itsy bitsy spider, old blue eyes the cop and so much more. I loved The Rip Taylor Trio too.

Revenge Of The Creature is one of my favorite under appreciated episodes. I love the merciless ribbing on John Agar, Nestor Paiva in the boat ("Like my wife-- not much, but she's all I have!"), lovely Lori Nelson, Chris the dog, the kid getting slammed into the palm tree on a pulley, the hot Joel McCrea-esque dude in the shorts, globe on a stick, more John Agar ribbing, Clint Eastwood, a chimp, and of course, the Creature himself.
