The Creature from the Black Lagoon is one of my all-time favorite horror films. Although the movie spawned two sequels, neither came close to the original. I continue to hold out hope we will get an updated Creature from the Black Lagoon film… and that it will be as good as the original.
If we do get the CFTBL reboot, I nominate Chris Koehler to make the poster. Until that time, we have Koehler’s CFTBL print to hold us over.
“From the Amazon’s forbidden depths came the Creature from the Black Lagoon”
“Not since the beginning of time has the world beheld terror like this!”
Ruiz Burgos has created an alt Creature from the Black Lagoon poster worthy of the original film. Don’t you agree?
This Creature from the Black Lagoon painting by Andrew Robinson is awesome.
There have been several attempts to revive The Creature from the Black Lagoon. (And I wish someone would get it done!) John Carpenter was involved with a reboot for a while, but that project never crossed the finish line.
What we see here today is concept art created by Miles Teves. Teves has worked in film/television as a concept artist, illustrator, and makeup FX sculptor since 1984. The illustrations here were created for a possible Creature from the Black Lagoon reboot around 1997. At that time Carpenter had moved on and Ivan Reitman was leading the charge. Sadly, Reitman’s movie never made it to filming.
It’s interesting to note the changes Teves made from the original CFTBL design. Note the tail and a more lizard-like appearance.

Any art by Arthur Adams is a treat, but when he draws The Creature from the Black Lagoon, <chef’s kiss>. If this layout looks familiar it’s because a fan requested the drawing based on a Frazetta painting.
Scottie Young has the ability to make The Creature from the Black Lagoon look both scary and cute.

Greg Luzniak created this cool Creature from the Black Lagoon painting.
I’ve been a fan of The Creature from the Black Lagoon since I first saw the movie when I was a young boy. While the sequels, books, and comics never lived up to the bar set by the original film, legions of fans have continued to show support and love for The Creature. Now that James Wan is set to helm a new Creature from the Black Lagoon movie, fans are excited again.
