I was going to post some Bob Hope (vs. Super-Hip!) comics but then I watchedThe CreepingTerroragain and remembered I had this ridiculous article in FM #31 that features a synopsis that only barely resembles the film itself but does feature the original monster suit that mysteriously disappeared during pre-production. I've watched this film so many times I've memorized it. Please goherefor a fun review over at 13 - Music From The Monster Movies.
