I'm over here. I'm hiding back in the films in the film library. Oh, yes. Hello, my friends
This time of year. I usually spend a lot of my time hiding just in case any relatives or neighbors come over for a holiday meal
Oh, I can't stand that kind of stuff. Anyway, you're watching the basement sublet of horror
I am your host Gunther deadman back again with another wretched film tonight is attack of the giant leeches
Directed by Bernard L. Kowalski from 1959 tonight's film was also known by she demons of the swamp
Oh, well, it's a wonderful film
Oh, and it also has Michael Emmett who was in night of the blood beast a few weeks ago or whenever you saw that one
He was the man. He was implanted with the alien. Anyway, he's back in this film
So he'll be a love-making guy from the backwoods in
Coincidentally has a similar fate. So anyway, let's go off to the movie attack of the giant leeches our holiday special
Oh
Oh, Steve, I love you. I love you so much
I don't know you're getting a truck and lock it up. Well, I I can't waste any more time on a wild goose chase
Listen Ben the corner rule of Sawyer died my misadventure as far as this office is concerned, that's the end of it
But sure if I can't see why the flim was killed by anything human
I wouldn't need you to tell me my job
But I'm not about to go tromping through the swamp looking for an overgrown gator
Sawyer wasn't killed by an alligator. Is that so? Did you hear that Morton game warden Benton says it wasn't a gator killed land
Well, then what was it? You know so much. Go on. Tell me what killed him
Dr. Grayson said the wounds were the kind of squid or a large octopus might cause
Oh sure and did Grayson explain how a saltwater creature happened to be 30 miles inland living in clear water?
Stranger things have happened. I know look here Ben you work for the state
Now why don't you keep your nose out of county business? Is that clear enough for you?
Oh, go soak your fat head
What was that you said? I said go soak your fat head
What was that you said? I said go soak your fat head
That boy's looking for bad trouble and he's sure going to get it. You can bet on that
So the edges won't harden and curl when toasted and so they'll be easier to eat later
She cuts them lightly with a knife
Well, maybe the sheriff was right dad. Could be a freak or a malformed alligator
No, no I'm afraid it wasn't
Well, where does that leave us Doc? I wish I knew
But saw your claims to have killed the thing you saw put a half a dozen rifle bullets into it
I've seen that old 4440 used nothing to live after being hit with those slugs
Well, conceit in the possibility of one such creature
We must also concede the possibility of others
Now there's one sure way of finding out
Go in and search every backwater channel and wet spot in the swamp
If it's there I'll find it
The sandwich is practically an American institution
It is a basic essential for lunchboxes, parties and picnics
As far as these boys are concerned, well hamburgers and hot dogs are their idea of a really good meal
Right around here
Did you hear something? Yes
Well, whatever it was it's not here anymore
The simmer flame keeps the water boiling gently while the cheese is melting
So that Sally can go on to weather tasks
I've only been out of two days and I feel worn out
Well, it might as well keep on looking around
I guess we might as well give up for today
I can't stand here at John, Cal
Gotta get this order over to Miss Shelby
What's she letting the hair down about this time?
Ever since Lynn got herself killed, she wants me to sell out and move into town
Don't you let her bamboozle you, Dave
Keep her right here in the store
After all, place wouldn't be the same without you around
Thanks, Cal
I better get going
See you when I get back
Yeah, I'll be around
Liz, please
It's Cal, honey
You want something, Cal?
I sure do, honey
Did you ever think how much fun it is just to be alive when you feel healthy and well?
Judy and Jim are well almost all of the time because they follow good health practices
It's a very important practice to wash your hands each time after going to the toilet
Jim and Judy go to the toilet after breakfast each morning and before going to bed each night
You should follow the practice of going at regular times like this
You're not going to give up, are you, Steve?
Well, I can't waste any more time on a wild goose chase
With all respect to your father's ideas
Dad seems so sure
You're some woman, Liz
I reckon I've never met a woman like you before
You really like me, Cal?
You're kidding me
No, I didn't hurt you now, did I?
You're just so strong
I like him any strong
And remember, other health practices when you get ready for bed
Going to the toilet to stay clean inside, washing with soap and water to stay clean outside
And brushing your teeth to keep them clean are good health practices to follow every night at bedtime
It's too late for the both of you
Get up
Yes, brain work takes a great deal of fuel
Now, look, Dave, I know what you're thinking, but...
I got double large shot in this here thing
You got two seconds or four, I'll pull the trigger
No point getting riled, Dave
It wasn't my fault
She's been testing me for months to take her out
Part of the trek to entertaining unexpected guests is keeping on hand certain generally useful foods
One more step and I'll blow your plum in two
Get over there
Now, Dave, it ain't as bad as you think
Shut up
I am
What are you going to do?
You'll find out soon enough
Yes, Gunther Denman again, I'm hiding in the film library tonight
Just in case any of my neighbors or maybe my landlord come down to invite me for dinner on this holiday
Well, anyway, can't have that
Welcome to my Escape from Your Relatives show
You're watching the attack of the giant leeches
And I was wondering, will Dave kill Cald if his wife Liz?
Or will he just chase them through the swamp?
How about you go and take a break
Music
And now back to the basement sublet of horror
Music
So anyway, oh, this is getting better and better
Will Dave wind up eating his words?
Oh, well, we'll see
Oh, and by the way, I forgot to tell you, it's moving day in the swamp
Dave, you put down that gun before I get mad and make you eat it
You go ahead and try it, Cal
Here is another way in which you are like an auto
There is always some waste to get rid of when the engine uses fuel
That's why cars have exhaust pipes
Come on, keep going
There is always waste to get rid of when your engine uses the food you eat for fuel
Good toilet practices means getting rid of the waste at the right times in the right ways
Dave, please, you gotta listen
It wasn't my fault, Honest, she kept playing up to me every time you turned your back
It wasn't my fault
You call yourself a man
You're in your muscles
Sure of you, champ
It wasn't you, I wouldn't be in this fix
And my old friend Dave wouldn't be doing this thing to me
It's all your fault
Get going
But Dave, Dave, we've been friends a long time, Dave
You wouldn't, you wouldn't get an old friend, Dave
If you don't move, I'll kill you where you stand
But Dave!
You're crazy, Dave
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, Dave
Hurry up and meet us
Hurry
Do you think you've learned enough to stay away from a woman, Cal?
Oh, anything, Dave!
I'm moving to the, I'm a lot of the cardio
I do anything you say, Dave, anything
Always go to the toilet when you feel like going
Don't be bashful or silly about toilet habits
Remember, an engine can't run when the exhaust is stopped up
All right, come on out of there
Oh, Dave, Dave!
Give me a hand, I'll help you go
Dave!
Oh, come on
Look out, look out, behind you!
No!
I'm so happy!
And always, after going to the toilet
Wash your hands with plenty of soap and hot water
There ain't nothing down here, sir
Well, I'm getting tired of this
Oh, it's so good
Well, if there was any bodies out there, we'd have found them
I want some straight answers, Walter
And don't give me any more of that crud about monsters either
Where'd you hide them after you killed them?
I told you the truth, Sharon
I didn't kill them
I just wanted to scare them good
I loved my legs
I wouldn't do anything to hurt them
I loved them
Are you sure?
Brother, you're a dead duck
Come on, Walter, where'd you hide the bodies?
Won't you believe me? There were some monsters there
Well, I'm getting tired of this
Can't it be a reward if someone finds a body share?
A reward?
Each
Yeah
Go away!
Dirty fools
Grappling out there in the middle of the water
Them bodies are still in there
You can bet some old bull gators got them stuffed in his cave under the bank
Letting them ripen up for a few days
A little butter finds its way into a great many dishes in this kitchen
Not only for flavor, but as a blending agent
There are some long cypress poles to go and then pull them Gator cave
I'm sorry, Doc, I can't do it
I have to do it myself
I wouldn't want to have to arrest you, Doc, but I will
If I find you near the preserve with any explosives
I'm not going to give up on you, Steve
Sorry, Nan, that's the way it's got to be
Steve's right, man, it's his job to protect wildlife
What about human life?
Three people have been killed in that game preserve
Dave Walker wasn't the kind of a man to hang himself
Not even with two murder charges against him
I talked with Dave less than an hour before he killed himself
That man was in a state of shock
I've seen frightened men before, terrified men
I've never seen anything to compare with the holler and the fear in Walker's eyes
Well, he realized what he'd done, he killed two people
One is white
Oh, look, Doc, Nan and I were all over that swamp
Why didn't these monsters attack us?
I've been thinking about that
They're probably night creatures
They can't stand the light and they stay down near the bottom during the day
I don't know what they're doing
I don't know what they're doing
I don't know what they're doing
I don't know what they're doing
I don't know what they're doing
I don't know what they're doing
They're trying to get us out of the bottom during the day
A small charge would stun them, bring them to the surface
Can't bar, Doc
You're pig-headed, Steve Benton
Stubborn and pig-pig-pig-headed
You just don't understand, do you?
I don't know what they're doing
He was caught like a cow. What would you do?
I hadn't caught that.
Paul, Jim and Tit took to drinking together.
Jim's father gave him plenty of money, and Jim kept them in liquor.
Paul, Jim and Tit took to drinking together. Jim's father gave him plenty of money, and Jim kept them in liquor.
Ever wonder what alcohol does to the human body aside from making the owner of it act like this?
Well, let's take Paul as an example, since he started all this anyway.
Anthropologists say that what distinguishes man from the lower animals is his power of reason,
a power found in the portion of the brain called the frontal lobes.
Well, when a drop of alcohol gets in the blood, that's right where it heads for, the frontal lobes.
Almost as if its aim in life was to transform man back into an animal, to take away the reasoning powers and self-controls,
or to use a high-brow word, inhibitions, that make that human society possible.
For anybody who fools around with this, adult or minor is playing with dynamite.
Boy, this is sure a hot one.
Right on seasonable.
Then the drinker looks like this, only half conscious, hardly able to stagger, hard to breathe.
If he keeps on drinking and the concentration reaches four to five drops, he ends up like this.
And that's fortunate in a way.
Huh? Didn't you notice anything? No, what? We've been prodding around all morning.
Ain't run across a single gator. By rights, this pool should be crawling with him.
It's so funny. Yeah, that is funny. I don't like the looks of things. Let's call it a day.
We're not waiting for it. The boys were drinking more and more, depending on liquor to get them through the day.
Even dates were no fun anymore without a bottle.
Let's go.
We've got to quit drinking that hand shine.
That's why you're so wrangling.
Right now, he wishes he'd taken just one less drink.
For a late snack after a movie, they have something special in the way of a sandwich in mind.
And the filling, or perhaps we should say covering, goes on top.
Mother is a great believer in the aesthetic value of parsley, and of course it's good to eat, too.
Now a touch of Tabasco for color and a taste surprise.
Eat slowly and chew thoroughly. Food makes the best fuel when it is eaten slowly and chewed thoroughly.
They add potato chips to the menu. They used to be exclusively picnic fare, but they've joined the hosts of useful accessory foods which make entertaining so much easier and more fun.
Well, I really hate to say this. You know me. I'm not one to make puns, but this movie tonight, well, it really sucks.
Welcome to my Escape from Your Relatives special, and I've managed to escape or avoid any dinner that anybody who would try to invite me to dinner.
I made it off on my own. By the way, every year my Aunt Eartha, Eartha Deadman from Alaska, she sends me a frozen dinner all packed up nice and ships it off to me by express mail.
The package has just arrived and I've got my dinner in here. I can't wait to dig into it, but you dig into the movie and I'll get back to you with my dinner later.
At this point we will return to the basement sublet of Horror.
Yep, we're going to Deadman here. I still haven't dug into my package of my frozen dinner here. I'm letting it thaw it a bit before I try and eat it.
We're going to get back to the movie, and this part of the movie is really a blast.
We've been calling, but there's been no answer.
Oh, I just got back. What seems to be the trouble?
Haven't you heard?
Old Sam Peters and Porty Reed have disappeared.
Come on inside.
Doc, you and Ann take your car and get as many volunteers as you can. Tell them to meet me at the old wagon road.
I'll call Duke Evans and have him bring his dogs. Either they're lost or they've had an accident.
I hope to heaven you're right.
Pull that pole.
Come on.
It's all clear. It's clear over here.
Oh, you're nothing, Duke, are you?
Well, we can't do anything more tonight. Might as well start back.
I can't. Ain't no use hurrying now, Mr. Benton. Reed and old Sam was alive.
They'd let us know him with a hollow of something.
Yeah, it kind of looks that way.
Oh, I'll get you. Get up.
You fellas notice anything about this lake? I mean, the gators. What about them?
They ain't. A piece of water this size usually has maybe 50, 60 biggins around.
A whole lot of little ones. It's real unnatural.
Well, maybe our torch has scared them away.
Nothing scares gators. Nothing. Animal or human.
Well, we might as well get out of here.
Come on.
Come on.
Oh, we got him, buddy. We got him.
You got something in mind, Steve?
I keep thinking what Evans said about the gators. Nothing scares an animal or human.
And yet something made them leave. Maybe an alcohol contamination.
I guess I better run some water samples.
What about the boy or girl who never gives himself a chance to learn to adjust with liquor?
He's licked before he starts.
Come on, you two. Drink your coffee.
And, uh, supposing there is no contamination?
Well, then I'll send over to eSport for a diving rig and go down to look for this monster of yours.
No, Steve. Don't even joke like that.
Man, I had some churning with an aqua lung while I was in the Navy.
But, Steve...
Look, there are two bodies we know for sure down there. Maybe four. They've got to be brought up.
We do it.
Jim's date, Judy, had never tasted liquor before.
But like dope addicts, one drinker can't stand the sight of somebody not drinking.
There are no alligators in that part of the swamp, right?
So?
No sign of any fish or snakes?
No.
Well, what are you getting at, Doc?
Well, that goes your argument about setting off a dynamite charge underwater.
You'd bring the bodies to the surface.
Get it out of your mind, Doc. I'm not using any explosives as long as there's another way.
For anybody who fools around with this, adult or minor is playing with dynamite.
Uh, Steve, uh...
How long will it take to get this diving equipment from eSport?
A couple days. Why?
Oh, nothing.
Take care of yourself, Steve.
And soon, Judy catches the spirit of the thing.
Well, here's hoping.
Dad, can't you throw the dynamite in from here?
I want to get it out in the middle, in the deepest part.
Stop!
This is a sandwich for forks, an open-face creation, in other words,
with a cheese, milk and tuna fish mixture on top.
Mother thinks she'll give the guests a choice of coke or milk.
When you can offer guests a choice easily, it's a gracious gesture.
Two drinks and look at it, but it's really very simple.
Tolerance for alcohol varies from person to person.
Judy is one of those on whom it acts like a deadly poison.
It should go any minute.
Getting rid of the wastes at the right times in the right ways.
I don't know what to do.
I don't know what to do.
Another victim, one of the estimated 10 to 20,000 last year alone.
I just can't figure it out.
Walker's wife, why didn't her body come to the surface?
I don't know.
I think I'd better walk over to the corner's office.
It's a matter, Mr. Benton.
You feel awkward about arresting my father in his own home?
I warn him I'd arrest him if he used dynamite.
Fortunately, a patrol car spotted Jim going through a stop sign
and he is picked up on suspicion of drunk driving.
Jim's father was summoned to the station
and because this was Jim's first offense,
was successful in having Jim released.
Well, the autopsy should be over by now.
Oh, Steve, I thought you'd be here.
I don't like to have to do this, doctor.
Do we have time for a cup of coffee first?
Sure.
You mind, honey?
No, I'll make some sandwiches.
As we said, there are sandwiches and sandwiches.
A wise young homemaker using good techniques and equipment
and a little imagination can turn a sandwich into festive fare.
One thing is certain for all the good it'll do now.
Dave Walker didn't shoot Cal.
I just come from the autopsies.
Hovers tried to keep me out.
I told him I'd raise the stink.
They'd smell all the way to the Capitol if he did.
Getting rid of the wastes at the right times in the right ways.
Well, what killed them, doc?
Not drowning.
And Cal wasn't shot either.
Every drop of blood was drained out of their bodies
and they had wounds on their throats, suction wounds,
like a gigantic leech might make.
And there's something even more incredible.
Now, Cal was supposed to have been killed several days ago.
Sam and Reed have been missing a matter of 48 hours.
All three of them, as far as we know,
were in that lake a minimum of two days.
Now, I'd stake my reputation as a doctor
that Cal hadn't been dead more than two or three hours
when we found him and the other two less than that.
First stage rigor mortis started enduring the autopsy.
Billy Martin is one of the nicest boys in our town.
He's one of the cleanest boys, too.
Billy always has been a nice boy.
But he hasn't always been so clean.
As a matter of fact, for a long time,
Billy's parents worried about him.
But how could that be, doc? It's impossible.
The coroner will confirm it.
Whatever killed him is still in that lake
and it's going to take more than dynamite to get it out.
That explains how Cal and the others lived
after they were supposed to be drawn.
What do you mean?
Well, this whole region is riddled by caves and caverns
cut out by the ocean thousands of years ago.
If there are caves above the water,
then there must be caves under the water.
Billy's parents did worry because he was so careless
about washing when he should have washed.
He had to be reminded almost every time.
And even then, he didn't do a very good job.
You mean you think that there's an owl pocket
or a cave underneath the lake?
Right, gotta be. How else could those people have lived down there?
Not only that, it explains how whatever it is
down there lived through the concussions.
Steve.
Liz Walker.
She might still be down there.
Alive.
Well, I've unwrapped my dinner
for my Aunt Earth off in Alaska,
Earth of Deadman, my aunt,
letting it thaw out here,
getting ready to dig in any minute here.
But while I was watching the movie,
do you think Liz Walker is still alive
underneath those caves in the water?
Yes, maybe alive with one or two giant hickeys.
No, no, no!
Let's take a break.
And now, back to the basement sublet of horror.
Well, here we are at the moment
that I've been waiting for all evening,
ready to dive into my Aunt Earther,
Earth of Deadman's frozen dinner
she sent me all the way from Alaska.
Every year she sends me these things
and they're usually pretty good.
Oh, my goodness.
Apparently Aunt Earth has cleaned out
a fridge for me this year.
Apparently I am not quite the nephew
that I thought I was.
Oh, my goodness.
This is pretty dreadful.
Oh, well.
I guess I have to live it thaw a bit too
because it's all kind of still frozen
and chunky.
Oh, well.
We'll go back to our movie as our hero,
Mike, is getting ready to dive into the swamp
looking for leeches.
Into the water, let's go.
Comfortable?
Yeah.
You sure you don't want me to grab for you, Mike?
You haven't had one of these things on for a long time.
They just want me to be a sissy.
Not this time, Mike.
If you ask me, they ought to have their heads examined.
Giant leeches.
I'm well under better months' pay.
I don't come up with nothing more than excuses.
He's crazy.
Him, the dark, and his brat, too.
Just wait until I get on the phone at the Capitol.
One night, Billy had a dream.
At least, I guess it was a dream.
It's not sissy to be clean.
Who said that?
Who's there?
I did.
One of your best friends.
Let me introduce myself.
Soapy's the name, partner.
Why, you're a living cake of soap.
Big is life, Billy, and I'm here to help you.
I can help you, partner.
But I don't quite understand.
Be careful, please.
Don't worry, Mike will be ready if anything goes wrong.
Don't worry about Steve.
Now, if you were going after Barracuda,
you might have a tiny bit to worry about.
Ready, Mike?
You and I can be partners in other clean habits, Billy.
You can see, Billy, that I am your partner.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
Don't eat all of the food that is served to you.
Then you won't run out of fuel when your engine needs it most.
Not exactly inviting, is it?
That sure isn't.
Hold on a second, Mike.
That's just the trouble.
So many boys and girls don't understand
what a good friend I can be.
So, I'd like to show you. May I?
Why, yes, I do.
Well then, just lie down and close your eyes.
That's right.
Now, what do you see?
It'll stop anything up to a tiger shark.
But you gotta hit, and this is don't count.
Anything goes wrong. Just yank on the line.
I'll be down in a hurry.
Well, Billy, you and I must tame animals more dangerous than bucking broncos.
I help you control animals that could make you sick.
Now, close your eyes again, and I'll show you.
You sure you don't want me to go down and finish it off for you, Steve?
No, thanks, Micah. I think I heard it pretty bad.
So long, partner, and don't forget.
I won't, Sophie.
He's wounded it! He's gonna finish it off!
Does he have to go under again?
He's got to make sure, honey.
Where could it have come from?
I wish I knew. We'll have to make some tests.
Maybe the proximity of Cape Canaveral's got something to do with it.
The rocket station?
Well, they use atomic energy in their first stages of launching.
Not all of them have been successful.
You think that if some animal life was close by, not close enough to be killed,
but close enough to feel the effects of a radioactive energy that's...
A mutation. A type of gigantism of some common animal.
Whatever it is, I hope he's able to bring it up.
Excuse me, my friends. Excuse me.
After all, a big meal like that just really makes me kind of sleepy.
Excuse me, my friends.
Excuse me, my friends.
ули unconditional
Another health officer, the meat inspector.
Make sure that meat is clean and safe.
The mark shows that this meat is clean.
Music
It is a good idea to add something for variation in color and texture.
Mother is making a salad dish.
Celery, radishes, olives, and pickles.
That can't be Liz.
What could have done that?
Look at her face.
Music
She adds the canned chunk-style tuna fish
and notice that she uses a wooden spoon to avoid discoloration of the mixture.
Music
Music
Dad, look at that thing.
I've been around here for years. I never saw nothing like that before.
Music
Boys and girls should wash their hands off, especially at certain times
and especially after going to the toilet.
Music
There's no time up in this time.
They must be licking their wounds.
Are you sure you used enough stuff to do the job, Mike?
I used 100 sticks of 40% or blow the bottom right out.
All right, let her go.
Oh, no. I've done enough of your dirty work.
Help yourself.
Music
And there's tuna rarebit a la Sally Gasco.
Music
Music
And Billy didn't forget, he's one of the cleanest boys in our town now.
He's one of the healthiest.
And certainly, he's one of the happiest.
Music
So, there you have it, my friends.
Attack of the giant leeches.
And the leeches are still out there somewhere waiting to suck again.
Pleasant dreams on that thought.
Anyway, we'll be back next week with another episode of the Basement Sublet of Horror.
And until then, good night, my friends.
