Join Us Tomorrow Night, Dolls, As Svengoolie Presents "Revenge Of The Creature!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                                This is, of course, a sequel to Universal's 1954 hit "The Creature From The Black Lagoon," in which Julie Adams, in the second most famous white bathing suit, next to Elizabeth Taylor in |Suddenly Last Summer," writhed before the title character.  I have not seen that film since I was a child, and while I recall scenes, I cannot tell you how it ends, so I don't know what or whom the Creature is unleashing his revenge on, in this film.



                                     John Agar is on hand; this was his big period, doing this and "Tarantula" in the same year, 1955, followed by "The Mole People," in 1956.



                                       My suspicion is this may be another film, like "The Deadly Mantis," where the poster is actually better than the movie.  Said poster raises an interesting question--why in all these posters, are the victimized women drawn barefoot?  Was there a foot fetish going on among artists at the time?  OK, Fay Wray lost her shoes in the jungle in "King Kong," so that makes sense, but couldn't any woman in the Universal monster posters keep on a pair of designer heels???????????????????



                                           The answer will have to be found out tomorrow, as we all gather around the set to watch!
