I grew up with these films as a ***, and then as I got older I enjoyed movies by Hammer, Vincent Price, George Romero, John Carpenter, Wes Craven, and Fulci. Anyway the point to my thread I suppose and the one Universal Studios ******* that got me into special effects as a hobby was The Creature From The Black Lagoon. I believe this was an effect that was pretty ahead for the time the movie was made. However you can't go wrong with the acting of Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, and Lon Cheney. Anyway I just felt like getting my :2 cents: out there about one of my past times and favorites in life...next to porn and hockey.
