I'm trying to find the name of a B horror movie in the 50s or early 60s in which there was a big gnarly tree with a face on the trunk that fed on blood or people, perhaps as part of a ritual in a primitive society. The tree also had a beating heart and maybe a dagger partially lodged in the heart. The tree seems to have been a part of Mexican, Mayan, Aztec, or a Pacific island culture.

From Hell It Came (1957) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050414/)

Thanks so much. That was exactly the answer I'd been looking for.

You're very welcome.
