He gets some good lines here, and as you say, nearly a throwaway death scene. The Creature snaps some policemen's necks without much fanfare, too!<br /><br />J.D.,<br />Perhaps I exaggerate- I don't actually HATE the Creature, it's just the last of the Universal monsters that I delved into, and I guess the bar had just been set a little too high. I would love to see a Carpenter reimagining (a la THE THING?!?! who knows what might have been).Sean Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537515557596273876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-80112206749748298742010-10-22T11:58:53.425-04:002010-10-22T11:58:53.425-04:00Well, I have to defend the Creature from the Black...Well, I have to defend the Creature from the Black Lagoon's honor since ya trashed him in your review! ; )<br /><br />I always had a soft spot for him and I think he's ripe for re-imagining. I know Carpenter was going to take a shot at it at one point until a Hollywood studio ripped him off and sadly he'll probably never get another chance.<br /><br />THE X-FILES had a pretty creepy Creature-esque monster called Flukeman (I believe) and even BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER did a pretty cool high school swim team is turned into the Creature ep. way back when.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-74560670354116123312010-10-21T22:16:07.722-04:002010-10-21T22:16:07.722-04:00Maybe I missed it, but you forgot character actor ...Maybe I missed it, but you forgot character actor Stan Shaw as the partner blown up in the car.<br /><br />In other words, this movie did a cop killing as an after thought, which is still pretty friggin dark and amazingly fast how quick it happens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-66636155232265800602010-10-21T21:06:54.900-04:002010-10-21T21:06:54.900-04:00The Monster Squad is a pure silly movie pleasure. ...The Monster Squad is a pure silly movie pleasure.
