From Hell It Came is a 1957 low-budget monster movie, directed by David Milner, about a monstrous tree going on a killing rampage. Due to its silly-looking costume and the wooden acting, the movie received bad reviews, but has gained a cult following over time.
According to Rip Rense, it was one of Frank Zappa's favorite films: "One evening's arcane chat strayed from favorite bad horror films ("From Hell It Came," featuring the walking tree monster, The Tobanga, was the composer's preference)." [1]
In a side note, Ethell the tree in Billy the Mountain is also an anthropomorphic tree in a monster movie-like plot.
