 Tom Servo pretends to be a security guard impeding Mike Nelson s way around the Satellite of Love. Dr. Forrester and TV s Frank do their laundry as they force Mike and company to watch _Creeping Terror, The (1964)_ (qv) a jaw-droppingly bad horror flick about a space alien that looks like a large carpet with people under it; the monster s ludicrously bobbing head looks like a Venus flytrap. The creature moves like a snail through molasses, but catches and eats most of the characters, who seem unaware of an activity called running. Mike and the  bots survive the schlock by mocking everything from the ponderous and unnecessary narrator to the pointless scene of a mother taking her baby s temperature. Meanwhile, Crow makes a flag for the Satellite of Love; Gypsy suggests a parody of the TV series, _"Love, American Style" (1969)_ (qv); Mike plays "Creeping Terror" music on his makeshift stereo system; and Tom Servo willingly finds out what it s like to get swallowed.
