The Creature
{
The Gill-man, commonly called The Creature from The Black Lagoon, or simply The Creature, is the movie monster of the 1954 black-and-white film Creature from the Black Lagoon and its two sequels Revenge of the Creature (1955) and The Creature Walks Among Us (1956).
In all three films, Ricou Browning portrays the Gill-man when he is swimming underwater. In the scenes when the Gill-man is walking on dry land, Ben Chapman performed the Gill-man in the first film, followed by Tom Hennesy in the second, and Don Megowan in the third.
The Gill-man also appears in the 1967 stop-motion animated film Mad Monster Party?, but is referred to as simply "The Creature". It also appears in the 1972 traditional animated film Mad Mad Mad Monsters, again referred to as simply "The Creature".
The Gill-man's popularity as an iconic monster of cinema has led to numerous cameo appearances, including an episode of The Munsters (1965), Stephen King's IT (1986), the motion picture The Monster Squad (1987), a stage show (2009), and a reimagining in 2017's The Shape of Water. Despite this popularity, the Gill-man appeared in the fewest movies of all the Universal Monsters.
