Nice call on the Rocky Horror Theme, Kep.

And my nominee for "Misunderstood Teen who First Sees the Monster" has got to be Steve McQueen in "The Blob."

Yep, I think that McQueen role is definitive.

BTW, the line in the Rocky Horror song about "runes" is a reference to "Night of the Demon," maybe the best Brit horror movie of all time.

Saw this one in a TCM Catalog:
From Hell It Came (1957)
This is the notorious tree monster movie! A dead man cursed by a witch doctor and a tribal chief on a Pacific Island gets a dose of radiation and turns into TOBANGA!!, a flora nightmare that proves its bite is as bad as its bark as it wreaks vengeance on the non- New York Islanders. With Tod Andrews and Tina Carver. 71 mins B&W/NR.

Who writes this copy? Who came up with this script?

For some reason this plot description immediately conjured up images of dozens of unrelated horror flicks from the same era. I am sure I'm overestimating its usage but...
