Rondo "The Brute Man" Hatten played basically this same role in an old Sherlock Holmes movie (the ones that had Basil Rathbone as Holmes), except that instead of a bitter, "deformed" ex-collegiate football star he plays this "back-breaking" muscle for some jewel thief or whatnot that Holmes is tracking down. I guess there must've been a thing for "back-breakers" as the "bad guy" in movies for a couple minutes about 60-70 years ago.

This movie seemed to be making a half-assed attempt at making the Creeper a sympathetic figure at times, which leads me to wonder why they bothered... this guy is just plain mean most of the time.

"You're not afraid of me?"
"No. I'm a little nervous, I guess. Why should I be afraid?"
Oh, I don't know. Maybe because a strange man with an odd, raspy voice was hiding in your bedroom?!?!?!?!? Did losing her sight make her lose all her brain cells as well?

''thanks to some very special photography, we can see whats happening (inside the eggs)'' so they just remove half the shell from an egg to see inside it, and film it, thus ruining any chance of survival for said chick inside the egg, and call it 'special photography', wow, it's like its the future of photography. so if i wanna see inside a human body, i just remove half the shell, and voila! special photography. maybe thats what jack the ripper was really doing all along, he was just improving his special photography techniques.

More depressing than "High School Big Shot," but not as depressing as "Stranded in Space." Proof that not all old movies are classic, or even watchable. Other than the old grocer scene and the host bits, this one's pretty hard for me.

Excuse me for going on another vegetarian rant, but now that I work at a grocery store slicing meat and cheese (don't ask; it pays well), I can tell you that roughly half of all rotisserie chicken get thrown away. Every night we toss out pounds of unbought chicken tenders, chicken wings, you name it. The chicken of tomorrow my ass. Us Americans are spoiled brats taking animal lives and throwing them away like rocks into the river.

So apparently this movie was a sequel to House of Horrors, and there were supposed to be a series of The Creeper movies, but Rondo Hatton died after filming this. It's too bad. I heard the next movie was going to be called The Brute Man Meets the Grumpy Old Grocer. The movie's tagline? "Creeper, Creeper, Creeper, you give me the creeps!"

What they dont tell you is the skinny chicken has twice the flavor of the plump one! Also if you don't wash your eggs they will stay fresh almost indefinately, they come out with a coating of some kind of chicken goo that acts a barrier preventing things from reaching the egg and spoiling it...
