The Hidden Genius Behind The Creature from the Black Lagoon

I think the picture at the end might be singularly responsible for the shape of water

[@stevenfunderburg1623]

Not singularly. Guillermo did Universals movie. They lost out. Very tiny chance that when they actually do theirs it will be anything but a late on the draw disaster which ironically disintegrates under the obvious comparison to TSOW... unless Universal learned from their mistake that being foot dragging cheap skates will be more costly (financially and critically) and they literally approach Peter Jackson on their knees with complete artistic control and blank check in hand... but somehow I think they squandered their moment.

May people spit on his grave for stealing from an early female pioneer in special effects and makeup

Very informative. 😊

Wow. All these years reading Famous Monstets about the Great Bud Westmore. Turns out he's an effing weasle. Thanks for the heads-up. I'll go find out about Millicent Patrick. 👍

What else has she done?

[@78Mustang]

Let's go find out.

I remember Bud Westmore in the role of seasoned advisor to the young competitors on the reality series "Face Off." He was both knowledgeable and likeable, and so the allegations against him in this video are very disappointing to hear.
