I saw part of a really awful one with Boris Karloff (spelling?) a couple of
weeks ago on a local Chicago station. Can't remember the title, but it
concerned a bunch of folks on an island looking for the answer to the
disappearance of some other folks. Anyway, there were some really nasty
cps that could grab helpless victims (female of course :-/) on land or by
the use of long tendrils reminiscent of squid tentacles that extended out
into the water. The movie was so bad that the cps were just about the only
point of interest!

Seems like there were a couple of Dr. Who episodes that had cps as well.
