> Is _ **THAT** _ what was supposed to be in the crate?:eek: I just thought it was a generic monster. I remember Siskel and Ebert reviewing _Creepshow_, and they said, “If something’s been locked in a box for a hundred years, _ **don’t open the box** _!”

But, where’s the fun in THAT? 🙂 Can you imagine what a hundred years of Tasmanian Devil waste must smell like? :eek:

I think Holbrook’s character called it a TD as a dismissal. What’s confusing is the crate had “Arctic Expedition” stenciled on it (instead of Antarctic 😕 ). Regardless, the cast and crew (and fans) of **Creepshow** refer to the beastie by its nick-name: Fluffy.

[Side note: IMDb has it wrong: I saw **Creepshow** during its first theatrical run and Adrienne Barbells calls Emily Vanderbilt a c\*\*\*, despite what IMDb says. For all versions after that, the c\*\*\* was excised. :eek:]

Anybody else fantasize about Barbeau in a leather corset, knee-high boots and sporting a whip after this movie?

No? Okay, never mind…

Yeah. Fritz Weaver. He was good. :o

Miss Adrienne can swear up a blue streak at me any day of the week and twice on Sunday, no matter what she’s wearing; but good call, my fine catfish.

When I first saw _Re-animator_, I thought [this guy](http://www.aveleyman.com/Gallery/ActorsG/6245.gif) was FW and thought **Oh, boy, this’ll be good with FW in it**.

It isn’t him. But it was good, anyway.
