I just finished a different movie with a thing in the swamp. I have seen that movie. It has been a long time since I watched it and will have to check it out again sometime but I am glad you enjoyed it and if I remember correctly there was also a sequel and a remake in 2009 or 2010. Like most Horror remakes it wasn't very well received and it makes you wonder why they keep remaking some of these movies when there have been so many flop. Although I am surprised 'Creature From the Black Lagoon' was never remade.

But that is kinda in doubt now due to the poor reception of their dark universe.

They might have pushed that back because of The Shape of Water. Everybody will keep comparing it to the Oscar winning flick with fish man fuckery!

I didn't know that but I heard there were a number of other movies they were working on for a shared movie universe that went into doubt after 'The Mummy' movie with Tom Cruise flopped and for a studio that was looking to develop a shared movie universe I think they should give another one of them a chance 'cause the next one could end up being a lot more successful than the previous one. One I have heard could still happen is 'Bride of Frankenstein' with Gal Gadot.

Many feel that the Mummy focused too much on Cruise and not the Mummy itself. The tone also seems more action than horror. If the Dark Universe is pushing thru, make them horror films. Gal Gadot in Frankenstein is news to me since the last I heard is the film was shut down. If that's true then good to know they're moving forward. And it looks like the Black Lagoon reboot isn't dead yet. John Landis may be involved.

Still think it's too soon for a Creature from the Black Lagoon. People will constantly be comparing it to The Shape of Water.

And it looks like the Black Lagoon reboot isn't dead yet. John Landis may be involved. Yeah. It is funny in a way 'cause the old 'Mummy' movies with Brendan Fraser kinda did the same thing focusing more on his character than 'The Mummy' and they were more Action Comedy than Horror and a lot of people loved them and the third movie wasn't as popular as the other movies but the first two were big hits here in Australia when they came out. I wouldn't have minded if they had made a fourth movie with Brendan Fraser coming back one last time instead of a movie with Tom Cruise and a number of my friends were disappointed they didn't get him back but I think bringing Brendan Fraser back for one last movie would have made it even harder for Universal to move on and start a new franchise 'cause more and more people would have been expecting something more comedic while 'The Mummy' with Tom Cruise was more of a serious movie. I am not sure what they will do with 'The Mummy' now but it does appear they have plans to continue on with the Dark Universe and as I previously said, I see no reason why they shouldn't 'cause they only had one bad movie and the next movie could go on to be a huge hit especially with how popular the Horror genre is at the moment.
The last update I heard about 'Bridge of Frankenstein' with Gal Gadot was earlier this year and they said if it does go though they would have to wait until Gal was finished filming and promoting 'Wonder Woman 2' but it was looking likely she was going to be taking over the leading role and she was interested in doing it. Thanks for that article about the 'Creature from the Black Lagoon' and I think cjdull76 might be right about people confusing it with 'The Shape of Water'but I think with the right writers it could work. 'The Invisible Man' was said to be happening with Johnny Depp but lost its writer.

There was a Swamp Thing series from 1990-1993. We found it on DVD and it is on order. This better be good taylorsfirst1. We have put our thoughts and money into you.

It lasted for three seasons so it can't be awful. Which is more then can be said for Marvel's Man-Thing, whose pilot was turned into a made for TV movie.

I just said it was not bad from what little I can recall. I know you won't hold it against me. The show is actually running now on the H&I network in the US but I haven't watched it.

Speaking of mummy films as an action comedy... Wow. Where did you find that? You know a lot of movies. I am always amazed over some of the movies you tell me about especially Horror movies 'cause I haven't heard of any of them and I am a Horror fan and have a lot of Horror movies but I am mostly into Horror movies from the 70s, 80s and 90s while you appear to be more into the classic stuff from the 60s and earlier. I am still discovering more Horror movies that came out in the 80s now and I don't think some people realise how many Horror movies were made in that decade and I could be wrong but I think the 80s may have had the most Horror movies.

A lot of the films I hear about from Rue Morgue Magazine or from horror boards or Facebook groups. Well I was a kid in the 1980s so I grew up watching a lot of films from that period. My dad loved watching the films of his childhood with us so we rented the Universal monster films of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. When my grandparents watched us on Saturdays we never left the house and always watched the afternoon creature feature. Which was usually something from the 1960s and 1970s, a lot of them foreign. Mostly British or Japanese, though one of them was Mexican. The first mummy film I ever saw: The Robot Vs. The Aztec Mummy.
Because of all these different influences I am always looking for monster films from any time and anywhere. Especially the classics. The ones that influenced everything else. Like the German Expressionist films Nosferatu and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari which were a major influence on the style of Tim Burton.

I never really got into Facebook that much when I had an account and I liked Myspace before they changed it and when I moved over to Facebook it was so different than Myspace was and I didn't like it that much but I do look at some artist and band's Facebook accounts from time to time and have seen some of the groups they have on the site. I get my Horror movie news from a lot of different sites and two I regularly look at are Bloody Disgusting and Upcoming Horror movies and they have a lot of news about the latest and upcoming Horror movies. I have discovered a lot of Horror movies over the years going to shops and looking at their DVD Sales (which used to have a heap of old Horror movies), renting Horror movies from video shops (which are mostly gone now), reading about them in magazines and books and looking at sites like Amazon and JBHIFI. We have got a LOT of Horror movies from the American Amazon store and I would go on the site and look up a movie and then I would look at the 'Customers Also Bought' section and it had all these Horror movies I never heard of before.
While I am on the subject of Horror movies have you seen 'The Darkness?' It was on Foxtel recently and it had Kevin Bacon, Radha Mitchell and the actor who plays Bruce in 'Gotham' in it.

No. I hadn't heard of that movie. I played the trailer on YouTube and it looks really good. I love Kevin Bacon and it's funny seeing David Mazouz in glasses because he looks like a young Clark Kent.

I never thought about that before but now that I have you are right. Did you know he was in 'Touched' with Keifer Sutherland before 'Gotham?' That was the first show we saw him in and when I first heard the little boy out of 'Touched' was playing Bruce Wayne I couldn't believe it 'cause he looked so young but I think he has done a good job so far. He isn't the right size to be Batman though and I can't say him bulking up in time to be the size Batman is by the final episode 'cause a lot of actors who have played Batman have said they had to spend a heap of time in the gym to prepare for the role.
