There was a great saying back when Chaney was around. If you saw a bug you'd say:
"Don't step on it! It may be Lon Chaney!"

It was truly amazing what pain the man put himself through to play some of his characters.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
