I love that Millicent is finally getting the well-deserved recognition for the creature’s design!

Back in the early 80's when the first home videos came out, even before I bought a vcr player I went and bought "Creature from the Black Lagoon" as my very first movie. I still have it!

Saw Ben Chapman and Julie Adams at a monstercon in Cleveland in the early 2000s. There they were: '50s contract players who became lifelong friends and never dreamed that this mid century horror movie would be famous and as influential as it was. Their mutual respect was beyond moviemaking. I'm sure, they're still together.

I loved the Creature theme. I made a little spoof of the old 50's sci-fi films called Bride of the Space Monster, and I created an original theme that played every time the Space Monster appeared that was totally inspired by the Creature From The Black Lagoon.

I remember hanging out with the neighborhood kids and they all of their favorites. It was Dracula or Frankenstein or the Wolfman, etc. One kid really liked the Invisible Man. But it was always the Creature for me, he was my favorite. Whenever I went swimming, I always envisioned that he could be swimming under me. It kind of creeped me out a little, lol.

The best movie I have ever seen, all these years never seen anything to match it.

A very finely tuned and well acted monster picture. The script was excellent. Cutting edge below water filming was the grandaddy of underwater photography.

David Skal does a great job on the commentary and back stories of the classic universal monster movies.

[brucekukhahn]

In my view the most underrated monster he deserves a remake we've seen enough of the other ones give us the remake we want give us the creature

[ThomasCieslak-ordp]

I remember the days when you could stay in the movies all day if you wanted, great times

[melaniesmith]

Ms. Patrick was the best! Screw Westmore. Ben Chapman was a lovely person. He wrote back and forth with my young daughter a few years before he passed. She was a huge fan and he was kind to answer her questions.

One of the greatest awesome looking creatures ever made to date. CFTBL

Among the creatures of Universal Studios, the gillman comes in at number 4 but it's still a great movie
