John Carpenter’s Design for “The Creature from the Black Lagoon” is Here!
These are molds created for John Carpenter’s unmade Creature from the Black Lagoon reboot. Man, I wish Carpenter had made the film. If he doesn’t ever get to it, I’d love to see Guillermo del Toro or Robert Rodriguez give it a go.

The Plot…
When a huge fossilized hand containing webbed fingers/claws is found on the banks of the Amazon, an expedition is formed to look for the rest of the skeleton. The mission consists of Dr. Carl Maia (Moreno), Dr. David Reed (Carlson), David’s girlfriend Kay Lawrence (Adams) and Dr. Edwin Thompson (Bissell). They are piloted by Captain Lucas on his small steamer into the depths of the Amazon.
Far out of contact with civilization, in an area known as the Black Lagoon, the group discovers a living gill-man. When they attempt to capture the creature, they learn it is strong, smart and now hunting them.
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
The Creature from the Black Lagoon is one of Universal’s Classic Monsters. I’ve watched this film as many times as any other horror movie. It never loses its effectiveness.
Jack (The Incredible Shrinking Man) Arnold helms another horror classic. He’s smart to allow the audience to see the creature’s huge webbed claw a couple of times before we see the full gill-man. Richard Carlson and Richard Denning are at home in science fiction/horror films. Has there ever been a prettier female lead in a horror film than Julie Adams? Kudos to Henry Mancini (!), Hans J. Salter and Herman Stein for the music.
The Creature from the Black Lagoon earns 5 of 5 stars.
