Creature from the black lagoon actor Ben Chapman died

Two years later I found the article saying that Ben Chapman the actor who played the Creature of the Black Lagoon and scared the shit out of me when being a toddler – and loved every second of it. Ben Chapman was 79 when he died according to an old article in 2008 that I just happen to find when surfing the net for creatures of the black lagoon.

Anyone in love of pulp movies from the 50´s and 60´s should quickly get hold of a movie of it. Dont get a crappy copy of it from a dodgy place on the net, instead go to the video/DVD store and rent it or buy a proper movie DVD with hopefully extra material in honour of the man and those who made it in the 50´s. And you will enjoy.
