Absolutely! This should have been done while he was still alive, but I'm sure he will look down from that big celestrial Black Lagoon in the sky and smile at the honor.

Reading all of these wonderful posts, as well as the ones posted on the CHFB, has got me to thinking. In the last ten years, Benny's contribution to the classic horror community has been immeasurable. Benny became much more than just the guy who wore the suit in the movie. He became a Good Will Ambassador to the entire fanbase.

I consider myself lucky to have met him once. A great guy, and everything I have ever heard or read about him always bears this out. Can we also say that the Creature suit was THE most impressive in design and execution ever? He wore it well.

Now in it's print for posterity. :-)

I'm with you, Bill, on "I love my life!" That's probably the greatest lesson we could learn from Ben, and the greatest way we can honor him is by following his positive example.
