Ah, the monster that comes from the black lagoon. MY Favorite Universal Monster, played by two actors. Ben Chapman on land and Ricou Browing as in the water. Behold! The ultimate Gillman!

The Gillman is an awesome monster who is one of the first merman I have ever heard of. He was one of the last universal monsters ( unless you count The Blob.) and when they filmed this movie, Ricou had to hold his breathe for 4 minutes, and then it was Ben’s turn. As this creature  was so popular, He later appeared in the movie ” Monster Squad.” There will be a 2009 remake of ” The Creature from the Black Lagoon.” but, I do not think it will be as good as the original creature. Also, the creature appeared in the classic TV show ” The Munsters.” as Uncle Gilbert. This creature is so amazing.  Well, My first grade.

Report Card Grade: A++

First grade was great! The next Monster to review: The Beast of 20,000 Fantoms!
