The Creature in color

Photo from Kerry Gammill

From the depths of the Black Lagoon (and the pages of Life magazine) comes this collection of rarely seen color photos from the set of the Creature from the Black Lagoon.

These vivid and playful pics (I'm partial to the one above, with the Creature either confirming a touchdown or practicing a Busby Berkeley water number) have been color corrected and shared by artitst Kerry Gammill. They offer a behind-the-scenes glimpse of one of the most iconic monsters in film history. Check out the entire gallery here and then see the Creature yourself with our special 3D presentation of this Universal monster classic on Friday. Get your tickets now.
