I'm perverse in these monster films. I end up feeling sorry for the monster. This Creature film could be an eco lesson. No one knew it was there; it lived in this Amazon lagoon forever, and the ecosystem didn't seem to be upset, that is, till the scientists and fossil hunters show up. It got poked; can we blame it for fighting back?
We watched on Svengoolie; I have a few Creature figures of my own, but as usually, Svengoolie featured a few more dolls and action figures representing the Creature. I wrote about him on About.com years ago, and mentioned Svengoolie's various collections of monster dolls.
Keep the faith. Think spring, and read seed catalogs.
