Others have said the same thing I'm going to. I've always been fascinated by horror films when even an old granny with a wooden leg could outrun the monster, she just stands there and he pulls her in. Going all the way back to the classic mummy films where the first thing people would do when seeing the cloth wrapped killer is to stop in there tracks. He could only move about one mile per hour. In this one, one of the most ridiculous monsters is able to get people to practically walk into its mouth (I think it's a mouth). Others have mentioned the dance hall scene (need I say more).

It sucked up Hollywood, according to Gilda Radner in the 1982 movie documentary comedy "It Came From Hollywood", not using that line particularly, but commenting on this carpet monster's suction like mouth's ability to get past a curvy woman's hips, eating up all but their shoes. That documentary did indeed show a large hipped woman being sucked in, spitting out it's shoes. I didn't see that hysterical footage in my print of this movie, but there was plenty of footage to amuse me even if I didn't laugh. This is done in a mock documentary style, with narration told so seriously you have to wonder how the script reader got through this without a single flaw. Being done for TV, it looks cheaper even than the oldest kinescope available. It's Plan Nine meets The Blob, a must for fans of hideously bad sci fi, and ripe for ridicule. After a while though, the organ music gets truly irritating.

Holy crap what did I just sit through? A tour-de-crap from Vic Savage, who produced, directed, and starred in this travesty. The story (like it matters) is about a newlywed sheriff and his bride trying to stop a carpet monster from outer space. The entire thing is narrated like a badly-written book. The narrator describes the scenes as we're watching them! What the hell was with the obsession with marriage vs bachelorhood? Talk about someone working out their issues through their "art." I felt like I just listened to Vic Savage's therapy sessions. The movie's budget must have been whatever Savage found in his couch cushions. The monster literally looks like pieces of carpet mixed with the contents of a garbage can draped over some people crawling along at a snail's pace. The awful sound effects they use when it's growling or gurgling or whatever will make your ears bleed. It is terrible in a way that defies belief but there is something fascinating about it. I must have shook my head and said "this must be a joke" a dozen times while watching it. That anyone could try to pass this off as a movie boggles my mind. The entire production would have to improve by a million percent just to be considered amateur. I've seen more riveting home movies than this. Objectively, it's one of the worst movies of all time. The only thing redeeming about it is that it has some "so bad it's good" qualities. If you watch it with friends you can all make fun of it, which improves the viewing experience but doesn't change the fact that it's a really a shitty movie. I'm giving it a 2 solely for the giggles at its incompetence. I reserve 1's for movies that should be fed to carpet monsters.

SPOILER: The main "Monster" in The Creeping Terror racks up a pretty impressive body count despite it's lack of speed.The "Monster" looks like it just walked off line from a Chinese New Year's parade and moves with all the speed of a lame turtle or a government worker getting paid by the hour. The only things in this movie that couldn't outrun the "Monster" are a rock and a tree. The only way a person could get caught by the "Monster" is if they ran into a tree or tripped over a rock and knocked themselves out.The only time I rooted for the "Monster" to show up was in the "Dance Hall" scene. If the darn thing could have moved faster, we wouldn't have to endure the mind-numbing music that seemed to have the same few notes looped over and over again as the girl in the skin-tight gold pants gyrated on.(Taken from my show RETERO MOVIE REVIEW on spreaker.com and iHeartRadio.
