I also remember that "Vampira" took "Elvira" to court! For impersonation? 😮

Good work Antonia!

"No hard liquor, do you want a virgin?" - "Hmm, Maybe after a few drinks" I Need to see you do something with Justin or Jeremy of The Epic Film Guys sometime!!

I loved watching her stuff. SHE IS SO FUNNY. Thanks for her story..

Excelente seleção.

My favorite movie in this style is "Transylvania Twist" 1989.

we love gay icon cassandra 'elvira' peterson 🖤🖤🖤

Cassandra's stuff was fun to watch, plain and simple. Didn't hurt that she was HOT... as Elvira or as herself...

Enjoyed!

That vincent Price was a prude.

Elvira/Cassandra Peterson is awesome my favorite line is when she's visiting the bowling alley two of uncle vinny's guys try to hit on her and she attempted to stab one of them "I Cut You Man!!!" But Elvira's Famous Dagger Knife was retractable LMFAO hilarious moment

My fave quote from that one is: "Remember me by two simple words. Any two. As long as they're simple."

I saw an interview with Elvira where she was asked what her favorite Horror movie of all time was. She said Vincent Price's The House on Haunted Hill.

Besides Edie and Cassandra I think I see Phil Hartman and Pee-Wee Herman in that Groundlings picture ? I am sure there are others. BTW- I love your stuff and I think you are a straight out babe. If i was a young man , we would be fabulous together LOL "Carl" lotta.

Also can we cancel razzie awards it only ever seems to be nasty to good films

I love Elvira because she truly respects the history of horror.

"How's your head?" "Well, I haven't had any complaints yet "

As a teen I grew up in LA back in the 80s. And I liked it that Elvira talked like a valley girl! LoL 😂

Aww I like Elvira mistress of the dark.Elvira’s haunted hills is good two thou it does not get a lot of love

The fact the movie is being talked about today says it all. Some of the best movies didn't win any awards, or completely failed at the box office. John Carpenter's The Thing is my absolute favorite, and it had a dismal outing at the box office. The critic reviews may have been even worse.

Yes, a most unusual film! Chaney's rather feral, dominating performance is more than impressive, the atmosphere is pervasive, foggy and dark, production values are top notch, special effects are first class, unique and, alone, worth a viewing. Striking, too, are the psychological components of the superb script, as well, which make the film much denser and memorable. The cast, with Allbritton brilliant, terrifying and engaging, is masterful. Oh, sure, there are some parts which strain credulity (even above and beyond the willing suspension of disbelief), some parts that are hokey; however, the sum of its "parts" makes the film an enduring wonder--- and a Universal icon.

Can't wait to see this one looks awesome

Awesome review Antonia

Sounds like we have another Rocky Horror on our hands, maybe? 😱

I think the reason why Creature from the Black Lagoon is so special is because maybe there hasn't been a remake of this classic. I say leave it alone. There have been several remakes of others like Dracula and Frankenstein and none of them match the originals. But if they're going to do it, they should remake it in black in white. I think it'll be more effective that way. I agree with you Antonia, that they should not CGI it.

Eu amei esse filme. Foi um grande papel de Lon Chaney e o começo dos filmes de monstros da Universal.

Excelente desempenho em A múmia. Infelizmente naquela época as atrizes sofriam muito.

The Creature From The Black Lagoon is my favorite monster also. It was my favorite monster model put together with airplane glue and painting it when I was a teenager. Among other monsters I put together as well

Eu vi o original e gostei.

Laemmle foi um guerreiro. Edison deveria aprender que concorrência não é inimizade. Afinal ele tinha qualquer coisa que quisesse.

Não chega aos pés dos filmes de monstros da Universal. Mas gostei.

Yes I remember Florence Lawrence the Biograph girl when I was a teenager when I was still in high school but I never knew what happened to her so I did find out years later what happened to her was pretty sad and it was said years later the Rodney McDowell was ahead of the the academy he had a plaque dedicated to her

The Wolfman also has incredible music and the sets were great plus you left out the gypsy woman who was amazing. I did not like 2010 Wolfman so i dont know about another new movie.

There again are critics who did not understand this film. I love this film so much. I love all the monsters. You can feel anyway you want too.Lon Chaney is incredible as the wolfman.

I am sort of torn. Part of me thinks this might be a curious and very interesting take. But the other part of me IS frightful of soulless CGI fest.

Arthur Adams did a good job with the comic book adaptation. He definitely should be brought into the project to create the design of the creature.

Great video! I’ll have to watch more of your videos. Daughter of Dracula was probably the most obvious queer coded movie I ever seen. Never would have thought Old Dark House would have been QC as well.

I remember the film from the mid-70’s called Slithis. I never saw this movie. It was believed to be an extreme remake of Creature From The Black Lagoon. Later came Humanoids From The Deep(a Roger Corman production). My favorite classic Universal monsters were as follows: The Wolf Man. It was a film was a fast pace and a suspenseful build up. The Creature From The Black Lagoon. Here was a being that was the perfect predator. Slow on land but deadly up close(or if one is dumb enough to fight him). I watched the short-lived Swamp Thing series. James Wan did an excellent job with creating the atmosphere of the swamp. If he directs this adaptation, I would like to see it. It would probably be a good idea if the setting was in the 1960’s instead of today. That would work out if the production wasn’t going to be using a lot of CGI(maybe a snake or a crocodile in passing or a Komodo dragon doing a walk through). The human actors will also be using revolvers or lever action and bolt action rifles instead of automatic rifles. The location for filming of the 1954 film, was in Silver Springs resort. Writer(s). Shane Black. Quentin Tarantino. Terry Rossio. Drew Goddard(Cloverfield). Just to name a few. What was your favorite classic Universal opening presentation? I grew up loving the theme composed by Jimmy McHugh(I think that’s his name) with the brassy opening with the trombones, French horns and trumpets. My favorite.

Fun Fact: Quatermass creator Nigel Kneale was approached to write a remake of CFTBL back in the 90's, but the project ended up in development hell before a full screenplay draft could be completed.

Wow, what a great piece! I didn't see C&tC until a couple of years ago. I was pleasantly surprised - as you indicate, it is a very dynamic, engaging film. What a treasure in your family's legacy. Kudos.

Love this movie so much it's a horror comedy classic

Looking forward to this it's about time creature from the black lagoon hit the big screen again

I think we know it won't be a man in a suit and it hopefully will be as wild as Malignant,he could go the Jaws route and make it a scary advenutre film.

I actually was working on my own screenplay adaptation. I had my own unique angle on the hero character, imagining Tom Hiddleston playing an antagonist character. Truth me told, I admit that I was imagining you, Antonia, playing the Julia Adams character Kay Lawrence. I remember in one video you said you’d considered acting, and couldn’t think of another star than you. But I doubt James Wan could ever go with my script, seeing as how I don’t have an agent; I’m sure Universal is currently hiring a writer to pen up a quick script.
