Creature From The Black Lagoon (1954)

Every Monday is “Universal Monster Monday” all October for HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST and today we discuss probably the coolest looking one when you see a picture of all the monsters lined up. We’re talking about Gill-Man and he’s only defending his territory that humans have unfairly encroached on. You can’t just enter the Black Lagoon without presenting Gill-Man a gift of a human woman and if you’re not willing to come off it then he’s gonna maim your doctor and take her for himself. One half of Jack Arnold’s 1954 hit “CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON” is typical 50s sci-fi horror. The other half is stunning underwater technique with stunt sequences unlike anything seen prior to this point. A fish man has to swim and they captured that feat as good as you possibly could. If only Gill-Man killed them all and took his fleshy bride once and for all. I guess you can watch that Del Toro movie that won the awards if you really want to “pearl dive” while watching interspecies love scenes.
