Halloween season
simply isn’t Halloween season without a regular dose of classic Universal horror (1923-1963). Every day this October, I’ll be giving you a steady IV drip of it by counting down Psychobabble’s 31 Favorite Universal
Horrors!
#19. Revenge of the
Creature (1955- dir. Jack Arnold)
Forgive it for inspiring Jaws
3-D. Revenge of the Creature is
actually a really neat monster movie. It refreshes the Gill Man by pulling him
out of the Amazon and into a Sea World-style amusement park where he goes on
the requisite rampage. Now that we know what we know about how sea parks are
run, it is very satisfying seeing him fuck up Ocean Park Oceanarium. Score one
for the dolphins!
