“I was 4 or 5 when we saw this. It would be another thirteen years or so before it would be shown again on television, but my brother and sister and watched it that night back in the mid-70u0026#39;s. What a hoot!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAround that same time acquired a full-sheet poster of the movie from a now-defunct movie warehouse in Philly. Wished now I would have kept it, but I traded it for some awesome old western lobby cards.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe u0026quot;Tobongau0026quot; is one of my favorite childhood monsters. I remember the next day after watching it the first time I rode my tricycle up over the hill beyond where we lived to join another group of kids. My brother pointed to a stump that was part of a fence post and warned me about the tree-monster! I turned and pedaled all the way home as fast as I could! That old stump is still there! That was in u0026#39;64 or 65u0026#39;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLoved the quicksand! Always been a fan of jungle flicks, so I must credit this awful little film for that!”
