Girls, Join Us Tonight At 8PM, As "Svengoolie" Starts Off September, With "The Creature Walks Among Us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


                                     When I first saw this poster, as a child, I thought it one of the best, and that the movie would promise thrills; among them The Creature (or The Gil-Man, as the film continues to call him) being larger than the bridge, and tossing victims right and left.



                                       Now, I have never seen the film, but I have read about it, and it does not deliver on its promises.  What it deals with involves a group of scientists capturing The Creature, and trying to make him over into a human, so he can walk among society.  Get it???????????



                                      Well, I have seen photos, and it just does not work.  You can put him in a dress suit but with that fish face--no offense! --The Creature is just not going to make it in society.  I mean, not even at ANNA's Met Gala.



                                          Though he was the only Universal monster, apart from Frankenstein, to get his own movie trilogy, I always feel sorry for The Creature.  If he had just been left alone, maybe just a wave or two when sighted, things would have been fine.  Like the saying goes, you cannot get a silk purse out of a sow's ear.  Leave the poor Creature alone.



                                            I look forward to seeing the final film in the trilogy tonight.  And I also look forward to seeing my favorite character, Nostalgiaferatu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



                                              Join us tonight at 8, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



                                              Baby Gojira and Little Pippin cannot wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

as I always say, “The Creature” is just misunderstood!!

Victoria, I have said the same thing, and I wonder if this trilogy did not foreshadow 2017's film "The Shape Of Water."
