The Creature Walks Among Us

The Creature Walks Among Us is the third and final instalment of the Creature from the Black Lagoon horror film series from UniversalInternational, following 1955s Revenge of the Creature. The film was directed by John Sherwood, the longtime UniversalInternational assistant director, in his directorial debut. Jack Arnold who had directed the first two films in the series, had moved on to Alist films and had felt he had no more to contribute to the horror genre. He suggested his assistant director could move up. The Creature Walks Among Us starred Jeff Morrow, Rex Reason and Leigh Snowden.

Marcia accompanies Jed and Dr. Tom Morgan Rex Reason on their initial dive to look for the Gillman, despite her husbands fierce objections. During the dive, Marcia swims too deep and is overcome with the raptures of the deep, temporarily losing her mind, removing all her scuba gear. This forces Jed and Tom to abandon their hunt for the Gill Man to swim back and save her.During the capture, the creature is badly burned in a fire leading to a surgical transformation performed by Barton, Tom and their colleagues Dr. Borg Maurice Manson and Dr. Johnson James Rawley. While bandaging the Gillman, the doctors notice that he is shedding his gills and even breathing using a kind of lung system. Now that the creature has more humanlike skin, he is given clothing. The doctors attempt to get the Gillman used to living among humans. Although his life is saved, he is apparently unhappy, staring despondently at the ocean. ........
