yeah, the 71 minute jem about Tobanga the tree monster. thought it was a half-decent flick when I first saw it decades ago on nyc channel 5's saturday morning b movie slot.
sure the tree monster is silly but it still works for me. professionally made with some good sci-fi thrills.the native babes are hoddees

I remember reading a summary or review of this movie many years ago (I think it might have been in TV Guide). It said FROM HELL IT CAME: To hell with it.

"Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone."

I think it's sad that Master Monster Maker Paul Blaisdell, who actually wore most of the costumes he made- got p**sed on and dumped by AIP.  :bluesad:

He made the monsters for-

.the BEAST WITH A MILLION EYES (1955)
.the DAY THE WORLD ENDED (1955) *
.IT CONQUERED THE WORLD (1956)*
.NOT OF THIS EARTH (1957)
.the SHE CREATURE (1956) *
.INVASION OF THE SAUCER MEN (1957)
.VOODOO WOMAN (1957)*
.FROM HELL IT CAME (1957)
.GHOST OF DRAG STRIP HOLLOW (1958) *

* He was in the monster suit too!

I love the  super hilariously bad way the tree monster looks
Kubrick, Nolan, Tarantino, Wan, Iñárritu, Scorsese, Chaplin, Abrams, Wes Anderson, Gilliam, Kurosawa, Villeneuve - the elite



I believe in the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

It is the Tabonga! Everybody walk away now! No need to hurry!

I really like the monsters actual design but seeing it in motion it's far less cool.

'motion' is a very relative term here.

I thought this was a decent movie, even if the bad guy was a bit... wooden.
