It’s a sad day, Fiends. But we knew this time would come. Although we still have 1 more episode of the Graveyard Smash podcast series to go, this officially marks the end of our deep dive (wink-wink) into the Universal Classic Monsters. Closing out our look back at the monsters that made us, we’ve set our course and navigated straight into the heart of the Amazon to explore and analyze the Creature From The Black Lagoon (1954).
Join us as we mine the depth of this unique aquatic monster with one foot in the past and one foot in the future of horror. It’s a love story and a cautionary tale of how humans ruin everything. Not to mention those absolutely stunning underwater sequences!
Creature From The Black Lagoon is a bit of an anomaly in the Universal Monster canon, but can you imagine a world without the Gill-Man? A world without that impossibly agile rubber suit, or the greatest, strangest secret love story of all time?! It’s like Beauty and Beast….for people who wished The Beast rampaged through a dozen dudes, tearin’ em to shreds before carrying his 1950s pin-up bride over the threshold of his sick rainforest grotto. Take me, Gill-Man! I’m yours 😍
