Dracula and the Invisible Man take the top spots, but I always had a soft spot for the Creature.

The tacky looking creature, the overdone music, the close-calls, the creature crushing on the beautiful woman, that pretty much summarizes it, right? Lol. Kay did seem rather popular. It seems like maybe the creature was just lonely and wanted her to love him!

It could have been a rerun on a double feature. I do know I've seen it a kagillion times, though. Good or bad it brings back great memories of time I was able to spend with my dad. Creature is my favorite movie monster of all time! Thanks for the recap. 🎥La La in the Libraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253014225202985934noreply@blogger.com
