Another wonderfully horrible B-Movie from the 50′s, I give you this tropical horror treat – FROM HELL IT CAME.

A Polynesian Prince is set up for a crime.  According to Polynesian tradition (Hollywood tradition), he’s killed with a knife through the heart.  His spirit of vengeance comes back as… a killer tree stump, with a knife sticking out of it!  Take a look at the trailer if you can stand it:

My memories are filled with long past Saturdays, watching movies like this.  For some reason, even though a killer tree stump was corny to my 10 year old brain, I still found it a little bit of a thriller (rubber costume and all).  What really made this movie indelible to my psyche was how they killed the monster at the end.  I can’t ruin it for you though.  If you can stomach watching it, you will probably get a laugh.  Hope you like bad horror.  Later.

    Oh… oh wow. At first I didn’t believe this movie could really feature a killer tree stump, but then…

    Jeez.
