Subject: RE: BS: Favorite 50's horror film...
My favourite one was the one with the tree that dragged people to their doom. Can't remember the name ("It Came From Beyond" or something), but what was so great about it was that the tree moved really slowly (sort of like the mummy only slower) and so the only way that it could capture people was if they ran into it. So for the whole movie people run around a lot for no reason so that they can bump into the tree. At the end of the movie, the heroine falls into quicksand, and the tree saves her at the sacrifice of its own life -- the last thing you see is its branches waving over the mud.

I am not making this up.

yours,
