A man and a woman are inside a house; the man moves around furniture while the woman holds a blanket. The transcript describes a past event involving a truck being chased by creatures.

“Anyhow, that's where I found that truck I have out there.” 25:02 · “When a big gasoline truck came screaming right across the road.” 25:14 automatic transcript, may be wrong

The record

Public domain through a copyright notice omitted on release in 1968, a rule this registry does not yet apply; the finding is the film's own documented history, not a catalog check. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
