"The She-Creature". The film was released by American International Pictures (AIP) as a double feature with It Conquered the World.
Movie Details
Plot: A mysterious carnival hypnotist, Dr. Carlo Lombardi (Chester Morris), uses his beautiful assistant, Andrea Talbott (Marla English), in hypnotic regression experiments. This causes her to physically transform into a monstrous, prehistoric sea creature from a past life, which then emerges from the ocean to commit murders at his command.
Cast: The film stars Chester Morris, Marla English, and Tom Conway. The actor Paul Blaisdell actually created and wore the iconic monster costume.
Inspiration: The story was inspired by the real-life "Bridey Murphy" story, a popular mid-1950s fad involving hypnotic regression and past lives.
Legacy: The film has developed a reputation as a classic B-movie, known for its memorable monster costume, which Blaisdell nicknamed "Cuddles". |
