By Grabthar's Hammer, but the Suns of Warvan, I am launching my thread for "The Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)"!

Monsterdon is the thing where we watch an old monster movie every week and praise and or condemn it, depending on the movie.

If you do not want to see lots of posts about this, consider muting the hash tag for the next couple hours (you might have to use the web app to do that).

Skipper, following the advice of the swamp hag, should've cut up the gringos and left 'em for Creature food

And as the Creature sinks into the Blackness of the Lagoon, the movie takes his viewpoint, as if asking us to hope he finds healing.

Thank you #Monsterdon for sharing this classic, THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON.

Never any denouement in these things. Sort of like the budget runs out and, β€œWhelp, let’s end it here!” #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon sad story.. although the creature comes back for a sequel, which is also good, and then Guillermo del Toro gets him laid, so that's fun.

Anyway guys, thanks for tonight. I love that movie and it's been ages since I saw it, let alone in such charming company!

Have a good night!

The climax wasn't anything special, but as a by-the-numbers creature future, there's a reason this one is held in such high regard!

Have a nice night y'all

This poor creature has been pursued in its own lagoon, speargunned in the kidney, drugged, chased through the middle of the night... I'm not saying it was right to attack Zee just then, but it's understandable.

And now the poor thing is clubbed and caged, like an unruly and damp adolescent velociraptor!?
