  1. Fred Dekker's The Monster Squad, co-written with Shane Black, is a wonderful celebration of the classic Universal Monsters without even being released by Universal Pictures. It's the topic Geoff is going to discuss on this week's Monster Mondays.

  5. Creature from the Black Lagoon (Little Windups by Azrak Hamway)

    Not since the beginning of time has the world beheld terror like this! Centuries of passion pent up in his savage heart! Terrifying monster ravages mankind!

    And so reads the tagline for Universal’s Creature from the Black Lagoon. Released in 1954, Creature from the Black Lagoon was, like all the Universal monster movies, a special effects triumph. Starring a creature dubbed “Gill-man”, […]

  7. Actually, The Creature costume looks *way* better than Star Trek's original Gorn costume (a vaguely similar creature, minus the webbing and gills) which was over 10 years later (1967). I had forgotten how bad TV budgets used to be even compared to the low movie budgets of the time.

  8. Spotless white bathing suit and matching spotless white sun jacket, after multiple days in the jungle. Exactly as realistic as that guy's hair.

  9. When I was about 12 I bought a pith helmet from a thrift store so I could look as cool as all these folks.

    In retrospect, I think I'm starting to understand why I never really fit in, in that tiny redneck northern Montana town.

  10. @jonny That would make it disturbingly like the Bog creature. Maybe it was more like Kong, just fascinated with the pretty woman. #Monsterdon #CreaturefromtheBlackLagoon

      TRIVIA FROM THE BLACK LAGOON

    Another edition of "What happened to the suit?"

    1. Costume pieces were discarded by the studio after the three films were completed.
    2. A janitor snagged the costume out of a dumpster for a Halloween costume for his son.
    3. Collectors eventually bought key pieces.

  12. And it's over! That was...not as swampy as I expected and way gayer than I expected

  13. He's dead Jim!

    Thanks friends that was fun ❤️ see you next time #monsterdon #creaturefromtheblacklagoon

  14. @JoeWynne I think I would have watched this movie 10x in the theater for the original release -- the effects and those underwater and cave shots had a lot going for them. #Monsterdon #CreaturefromtheBlackLagoon Oh hey, the crew had no issue with shooting at the creature when it was hand-to-hand fighting with David in the cave! Lucky they didn't shoot David, or maybe they were just really good shots.

  15. I know we're supposed to make fun of this for being a terrible movie, but I have nothing intelligent to say other than practical effects are just better. As silly as all this is, the costume actually looks pretty good even though it was 1954.

  16. So he's been denied meaningful conversation, romance, fresh water

    No wonder he's pissed
