CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON

Title Lobby Card and Scene Card (11" x 14")
Very Fine; Artwork by Reynold Brown
Universal-International, 1954

This desirable pair of unrestored lobby cards from director Jack Arnold's horror classic consists of the title lobby card and scene card #8. The title lobby card displays only light toning on the edge of the right border and corner with a small left border stain. Scene card #8 has one pinhole in each corner with a corner crease and some small smudges. This pair is an outstanding graphic representation of the last of Universal's classic monsters.

This movie is considered one of the greatest monster films of all time. Universal entered the genre once again with this film, modernizing the horror film for the post-atomic age of the 1950s. The result was an absolute masterpiece. During a scientific expedition to the Amazon, the Gill Man was discovered and proved popular enough to star in several sequels. To this day, it remains a classic monster icon.
