I have a vague memory from late 70s/early 80s of seeing a movie in a theater where the monsters arm was trying to get through a door and it gets chopped off and falls into some water but appears to be still living. I could swear it was some kind of sasquatch movie. Does this sound at all familiar?
shareThat sounds so familiar, but I'm not sure that this is a sasquatch movie.
shareit could be one of two things:
1. the 1970's film "the incredible melting man". Has a scene of him trying to grab a woamn through a door and she lops off most of his arm
2. The 1970's World beyond tv series (which was only like 2 eps) also known as the "mud monster", super hard to find but out there in many bootlegged formats
99% of you people send me PM's with questions and never bother to check that I replied to them.
I think that the movie you're thinking of is "The Howling".There is a scene where the reporter is being attacked by a werewolf in a barn in the woods .It reaches through a door to grab her ,but she manages to chop it off with a hatchet .The severed arm then proceeds to revert back to human form.What you described sounds so close to that scene that I'm thinking that that might be it.
share"The World Beyond" from the late 1970s. The arm is severed from the creature but continues to go after the people in the cabin until it comes in contact w/ salt and catches fire.
shareCool. Sure sounds like it might be World Beyond. Makes sense it would be TV and not something I saw in a theater. I'll check it out and let you know. Thanks.
shareIt is the Mud Monster from World Beyond! I watched a copy last night. The woodsy setting, the monster trying to get in and especially the arm getting cut off feels real familiar. The memory of water must have come from the sheltered pier where they park the boat. The scene where the arm grabs the guy by the ankle as he walks down the stairs also set off some deja vu.
Funny thing is if I caught this when it aired I would've been little more than 4 years old! Maybe I wandered into the room or had a careless babysitter. Hehe. The TV screen probably just felt as large as a theater screen in my memory.
Thanks guys. Another vague movie memory from childhood solved.
