The movie that begs to be told where to go.

A South Sea Island native is killed by the tribal chief because he disobeyed a royal command which prohibits contact between the natives and any outsiders -- which, in this case, is a scientific team that comes to the island.

A strange tree grows up from his grave . . . with a nightmare face! The scientists put the monster tree on an operating table and stimulate its heart (a tree with a heart?). The tree starts walking around the island in search of the enemies of the dead native.

A vague reference to atomic bombs is thrown in as an explanation for the walking tree, just to satisfy those nit-picky intellectuals in the audience who question such things. Surprisingly, the walking tree was designed by veteran monster maker Paul Blaisdell. Directed by Dan Miller.

CHFB has a thread for this movie that the members keep active constantly with any old comment they feel like making. Very Happy

It's always at the top of the '50s Sci-Fi movie section because of the constant addition of posts. Here's the title and the number of pages (yes, the number of pages) of posts it now has!

From Hell it Came (You'll Believe a Tree Can Walk) (1,2,3 . . .1000,1001,1002)

Bud, in Tolkiens middle Earth Ents are animated conscious trees. They save the Hobbits from the Orks!
