“The Creature from the Black Lagoon”

Who’s up for a swim? Just make sure there’s a net near you at all times. Thank you, Bruno on Facebook, for the suggestion. You’ll find lots of Halloween on our Twitter feed @HalloweenHaunt, on Facebook, and Google+. Tell us what you think and find more at TheHalloweenHaunt.com.

Old standby Wikipedia has a lot of information on the Creature. And IMDb has interesting trivia and credit information.

We haven’t discussed as many of the Universal monsters as I’d expected, but if you go to Universal.TheHalloweenHaunt.com you’ll find more.

Dracula

Contrary to what many people think, Dracula is a fictional character. He was created more recently than you might think, too. Learn all about the King of the Vampires in this latest installment, then let us know what you think at HalloweenHaunt.wordpress.com.
