- I too have an indelible horror memory from my youth, who's name
- I can't recall. It was a very Hammer-esque style, and had these
- beasties, sort of like a turtle but with armadillo armor and a looooong
- probiscis. I think the probiscis could bite and liquefy the victims guts
- for ingestion. I remember several forest scenes but the scene that stuck
- was when the girl and guy retreat into an office that had a frosted glass
- window in the door and you could see the suckers of 3 or 4 beasties
- shadow-waving back and forth as the poor couple despaired.
-
- Of movies that I know the names of, QUartermass and the Pit
- (aka xxx Million Years to Earth) was the most scary to me as a youth.
