Does anyone know what became of her after the Creature movies? The chick that the creature is kissing is most likely Ginger Stanley........that doesn't look like Julia. And how is that Ricou and not Ben? Notice how he has his claw on her ass! I love it! That's the way to do it! LOL

I love the one where Richard Carlson is smiling at the Creature, as if it's maybe the first time he (and the cast) are seeing him on the set. So cool. Also, "love" the one of Bud Westmore pretending to sculpt the early version of the Creature while looking at Ricou. What a poser!

That's because it's a shot of Ricou Browning wearing the underwater suit made to fit him. Browning's suit was missing the rubber chest sternum sections that were part of Chapman's land suit, because Browning had a smaller build and stature than Chapman. The land and underwater Creature suits had some minor differences in design.

I like that Lonster lifemask above and behind Ricou there. Is this the mask that lucky Count Gamula has a copy of?

I was thinking the same thing Bill. Could be it was just photo opp day and they pulled it out of storage. This suit also has the odd split chest. These were obviously taken at the same time...

Jul 29 10 2:07 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	My understanding is that there was reticence about which head to use up to the last minute, and that on the first day of shooting, they tried both. After screening the dailies, they decided that the "Oscar" head was not the one they wanted. For what it's worth, the mold for the "Oscar" style head existed into the '70s, and if you shelled out enough money, you could pick one up while on the studio tour. J.

Jul 29 10 2:19 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Since Richard Carlson and Richard Denning are as tall or taller than the Creature in those shots, it ain't Ben Chapman inside. Universal musta had a "pronto" need for a few pics of the cast with the Creature, and so somebody climbed into an abandoned suit. (The movie was in production a couple weeks before Chapman's first day on the set.)
