Its combination of adventure, terror and emotion made Creature From the Black Lagoon<\/em> one of the defining films of the fifties. Packed with memorable moments, it\u2019s a true evergreen of the horror genre. Our Creature From the Black Lagoon<\/em> Ultimate Guide pays homage to the craftsmanship of the cast and crew, with a range of informative articles exploring the origins, evolution and production of the film. Designed with care and written with a genuine passion for the movie, the Creature From the Black Lagoon<\/em> 1954 Ultimate Guide is the ideal companion to a fresh viewing of this undisputed classic.<\/p>\n

\"Creature<\/p>\n

The original Creature From the Black Lagoon<\/em> Ultimate Guide launched back in 2016 and has been a popular part of our range, showing the enduring power of the Gill-Man and the high esteem in which the film is held. Over the years we\u2019ve developed and refined the structure and style of our Ultimate Guide series, and it only seems fair that our Creature From the Black Lagoon<\/em> magazine has the chance to shine again. That\u2019s why the Creature From the Black Lagoon<\/em> Ultimate Guide New Edition boasts a complete redesign, with a new look so sleek and crisp that it\u2019ll cut through the waters of the Amazon faster than the Rita ever could, and a love for the movie that shines through on every page.<\/p>\n

\"Creature<\/p>\n

Printed to A4 size (210mm x 297mm), this Creature From the Black Lagoon<\/em> 1954 magazine guide will look right at home in your collection, with first-rate production values starting with the sturdy gloss cover and continuing throughout. Inner pages are printed on fine silk stock paper, which has a subtle sheen to enhance the effortless reading experience as you relish the nostalgia and charm of this sumptuous publication.<\/p>\n

\"Creature<\/p>\n

Every article is enriched by an abundance of stills, and this is another reason why the Creature From the Black Lagoon<\/em> 1954 Ultimate Guide New Edition is such a beautiful addition to your classic horror collection. We\u2019ve selected the most beautiful stills to both tell the story of the movie and highlight important features you\u2019ll appreciate – but these aren\u2019t grainy stills you\u2019ll have to squint at. Each image is meticulously restored to provide the optimum level of authenticity, clarity and detail, while our use of full colour printing means that even black and white stills have a depth and variety of tone that monochrome newspaper-style printing simply can\u2019t provide. The new edition guide to Creature From the Black Lagoon<\/em> is the perfect way to enjoy the atmosphere, by turns hypnotic and startling, which makes the film so special.<\/p>\n

\"Creature<\/p>\n

The Gill-Man might have been late to the party, not arriving until the age of science fiction was busy terrifying audiences with invaders from the skies, but he quickly joined the ranks of Dracula, the Frankenstein Monster and the Wolf Man. His iconic appearance, brought to life by actors Ben Chapman on land and Ricou Browning in water, combined unstoppable physical force and an eerie aquatic grace. Within the new edition Ultimate Guide to Creature From the Black Lagoon<\/em> you\u2019ll learn of the development of the Gill-Man, and how we owe a sidelined Universal artist a debt of gratitude for the creation of one of the most legendary of cinema creatures.<\/p>\n

\"Creature<\/p>\n

Indeed, this renowned movie was nothing if not a team effort, and the new edition Creature From the Black Lagoon<\/em> Ultimate Guide celebrates the many talented artists whose collective endeavour turned a quirky and improbable story into a piece of movie magic. A range of biography features introduces you to key members of the cast and crew, from stars Richard Carlson, Julie Adams and Richard Denning, through to director Jack Arnold and composer Henry Mancini. They all had lives and careers beyond the Black Lagoon, and you may be surprised at where else they worked their magic.<\/p>\n

Captain Lucas is keen to get the trip underway, so let\u2019s climb aboard the Rita and stow our bags. It\u2019s going to be a long journey – we can relax with the new edition Creature From the Black Lagoon<\/em> Ultimate Guide and while away the time as we head up that little tributary. After all, it\u2019s so peaceful on deck (come to think of it, where are all the crew?) and that nice Dr Thompson in the bunk doesn\u2019t seem to have much to say. Mind you, with all those bandages on his face he probably can\u2019t say much. I wonder what could possibly have happened to him\u2026<\/p>\n
