Magnificent!! The lake is much smaller than it was in 1953 so finding exact spots would be very difficult. BTW, this is the same lake that was used in the opening scene and several episodes of The Andy Griffith Show. The ranger hut was used in the episode when Andy got arrested for fishing without a license.
One thing I absolutely love about your channel is you open up a new generation to want to see classic movies like creature. I’ve bonded more with my kid teaching him about the classics, and it started with your videos, so thank you and Jessica for bringing my bond with my son closer together
Ricou Browning (the stuntman who played the creature) went on to be part of the production crew of Lloyd Bridges "Sea Hunt" series as the underwater filming supervisor. He also wrote and directed episodes of "Flipper" and "Primus."
So cool. My mother was Betty (Julie) Adams' locker mate through high school at Little Rock High School, graduating class of 1944. ( It's now called Central Highschool). Betty's mother was a hair dresser and Betty was very sweet and reserved, Mom always recalled. They remained pen pals throughout the 1950s, and then lost touch with each other. What I would give if Mom had saved those letters. As always, awesome vlog ☮️
It’s really amazing that you’re putting in the effort to re-create movie locations from people’s childhood! Since a lot of us that will never have the opportunity to travel. Thank you for your time and effort. 😇
Getting to walk with you and Jessica through history - film history, true crime history - is such a joy! We covet the little nuggets you leave from your tireless, endless super sleuthing skills, like breadcrumbs on a trail. I'm an info junkie - I can't get enough on certain topics, and I'm beyond relieved there are at least 2 more people out there just as passionate (cough-OCD?-cough) as I am!
I remember my mother buying my sister and I 3-D eyeglasses and we watched the Creature from the Black Lagoon in 3-d on a Boston channel. Must have been the early 1980s. Good memories.
I saw this movie when it came to the theater in Tarentum, PA. 22 miles north of the burgh. It was either 54 or 55. I was 8 or 9. Probably at the Manos or Harris theater. I remember sitting thru it 3 times till mom came in looking for me. I fell in love with Julie Adams. The musical score was haunting when the creature appeared. One of my all time favorite movies!!!! Thanks for the visit to the actual location, younze did good!
I find this movie was ahead of its time.....to create a creature that breathes under water like it did, the underwater gear that must have been needed to be a part of the creature outfit without the audience noticing it....WELL DONE! Your detective work to support and to back up your locations and stories is always impressive....it shows your passion and dedication to the work you do, and for fans such as myself, this is why we so enjoy your videos/stories so much. You help bring history back alive
@@KiltedCreatureWNC Very cool, I didn't know that. Still, to be swimming in that amazing creature costume must have taken some getting use to,lol Cool info...thank you sir/madam
@@paulthompson4332 I've chatted with Ricou many many times. Quite the gentleman. He also helped create "Flipper" and directed a ton of underwater bits for movies including 20,000 Leagues under the sea. I perform a "Bagpipe Swamp Metal" tribute to CFTBL. You can check out some tuneage at th-cam.com/users/kiltedcreaturewnc Cheers!~
@@KiltedCreatureWNC he's lucky he never experienced shallow water blackout...that's likely what got Dennis Wilson, it can happen to anyone who holds their breath underwater for awhile even experienced swimmers.
Great video. You should look for the spot where they filmed the opening scenes for The Andy Griffith Show, plus other locations they filmed. That area was heavily used by the show. Also, if you want a tip, go to Yuma, Arizona to where they filmed Jabba's Sail Barge scene and take a metal detector and a shovel because people are still finding parts of the set.
We were there in 2012 for Andy Griffith spots and the water levels are much lower than the 50's and 60's during Andy. That path and picnic table are the path if you came from the parking area. This is wonderful! Love the color creature promo pics, too!
Fun Fact... Ginger Stanley who is 91yrs old this year was the underwater stunt double for both lead actresses in the film and the first of its two sequels that followed. Well known for her aquatic work in photos-film etc. she often worked at water attractions and was as runway model as well when not splashing around. She even doubled for Esther Williams once because she had an ear drum problem and was inducted into the Mermaid Hall of Fame that remembers many who once made a living that way. Her underwater modeling work is quite etheral and skilled since letting the water clear while posing especially from bubbles meant minutes not seconds holding her breath. Indeed the actor who played the underwater creature in the first films recounted he could easily hold his for 4 or more as long as not needing to move much but only for 2min if a fight scene was on before needing air.
I love your video's and i love it when you show pictures from a old movie and show it with what it looks like today and tell us the history on it you guy's are the best and thnk you for all of your hard work and stay safe out there
absolutely AMAZING! I love all of your videos but this was one of my favorite as far as iconic film history! Thank you for all your hard work and time in getting this content to us!
This is still my all time favourite horror movie!! I have an original creature from the black lagoon movie poster and doll and a few lobby cards and an exact replica of the creature hand on a stand I had made, it’s beautiful!! I also met Rico Browning! So cool👍
The way you do these types of location locating videos is really cool, I was born in 1963 so seeing this movie some years after it was produced I can remember this movie being very scary to me. Keep up the great job...
Man that's awesome!!!! The creature from the Black lagoon is one of my all-time favorite movies. I loved your other videos you did on the subject. I think it's wonderful that the grimmlife brings back movie making magic history. Another great video thanks for taking us on the adventure.
You GriMMs did it again!.... the Creature is one of the Atomic Area's BEST Universal Monsters.... Love him so... almost as much as Dracula's Bela Lugosi..... Thanks, for another GREAT episode, GriMMs..... :^)"""""""""
joy division t shirt i see ,ian curtis singer who took is own life as a huge mural painted of him on the side of a building in macclesfield england recently ,
As a Universal monster-loving, vintage obsessed photographer who re-creates old photographs, this was right up my alley. So very cool, thanks for showing this spot!
Micheal amazing video!! Maybe it’s just me, but when Im looking at the water and trees, it looks otherworldly, like time has stood still from the 40s, 50’s, enchanted almost! ❤🙏🏽🎃👍
I almost freaked out I thought you guys were at silver springs in Ocala Florida where a lot of the movie was shot! I grew up and lived in Ocala. also, fun fact one of the wetsuit creature costumes is at the park and they have it on display!
One of the best people I’ve ever met was Julia Adams years ago and had this movie poster signed .Great movies and another great job searching for locations for this.
This has me thinking of scenes from John Carpenter's/Stephen King's Christine, like if the junk yard where Christine is "left to rest" can be found? And the house that Arnie lived at? Very nice work lining up the mountain.
So awesome what you do Mike!! My parents took me traveling all over to see all kinds of historic locations, so watching what you do brings me back to those times. I'm retiring in less than 10 years, I'm taking my kids to the places I've seen as well as alot of new ones. KEEP UP THE AWESOME JOB!!
the Andy Griffith show also used that area for the famous whistling opening credits scene, and you really don't have to take us exactly to the spots, just being in that area is good enough, a lot of shows were filmed in that area.
Nicely done Michael! That’s crazy the lake looks so different in 1953 and 2022. My Grandpa loves The Creature from Black Lagoon, so thank you for sharing another Grimm Life adventure Michael. Love to see more of your creativity’s.🖤💚❤💀🎃
I definitely appreciate what you guys do man. It really is a part of bringing some cool history back into perspective. Grimmlifecollective is a great channel. And Halloween is awesome!
Man I love your channel.. not just the content but your passion, the quality and your choice of music .. you guys f’n rock .. love you guys and always .. happy Halloween 🎃 !
I love how you take the time to line up shots that are 70 years old! I love the juxtaposition from past to present and the changing of time!. Thanks for the video
Beautiful photos from LIFE magazine from back then. I sat down and watched The Creature from the Black Lagoon back in October for the first time. It was the only Universal monster movie that I hadn't seen. Love the video and the Joy Division T-shirt! Happy Halloween!
Michael I love what you and “Baby Ghoul “do. Lol I wondered if you have ever done or are considering finding the locations where 1977s “The Car” was filmed one of the 70s best horror movies only in my opinion thanks!
Looks terrific as always...LOVE IT! Happy Near New Year Michael and Jessica! From your fans both living and 'the not-so-much crowd' here at #TheOmanHouse.
Dude do you walk or hover o errands the ground!? Either that or how on earth do you manage to have the camera so dang steady as you move!? It doesn't wobble with your steps or move up and down, that's a PHENOMENAL job! 👍
Twin Peaks season 1 shot a lot of the Seattle scenes in Franklyn Canyon including the entrance to the black lodge and the Owl pipe which is still there btw.
Your video's are always amazing! You are definitely a creator and I believe you would be a good film maker too. You get the best shots that are spot on. Thank you so much for all you and Jessica do! Love you both. 💓💓
Once again, nice job. I also love all those old Universal "monster" films. Creature from the Black Lagoon was always a favorite. Never seen those promo shots before now. Very cool. Keep up the good work!
If I'm not mistaken the intro to the Andy Griffith show was filmed there. And I think the reservoir was " Myers lake" in the show. Just about all the 50s and 60s western tv shows used locations there.
Great job Michael and this was very awesome and amazing and very interesting too...love watching your channel of you and Jessica's.... love the pictures of the monster of black lagoon with the lady carrying her...great video Michael...Happy Halloween 🎃👻 guys!!

Excellent detective work as usual, Michael! You will ALWAYS be the Indiana Jones of finding ANY location! Much respect. Happy Halloween 🎃🖤💀
Lol. Thank you Bob. Your love and support…and comedy means a lot to us.
Great job Michael! You never cease to amaze me by finding these historic filming locations.
Thank you for watching. I’m all about the simple adventures. They usually take all day but it’s like treasure hunting to me. History Hunting.
@@grimmlifecollective I can definitely tell how passionate you are about doing what you do.
One thing I absolutely love about your channel is you open up a new generation to want to see classic movies like creature. I’ve bonded more with my kid teaching him about the classics, and it started with your videos, so thank you and Jessica for bringing my bond with my son closer together
Thank you for telling us this. Makes us very happy.
Ricou Browning (the stuntman who played the creature) went on to be part of the production crew of Lloyd Bridges "Sea Hunt" series as the underwater filming supervisor. He also wrote and directed episodes of "Flipper" and "Primus."
IMDB has him listed as still alive, born in 1930.

Love these little quests that you record for us! Thank you for researching and rediscovering some of this long forgotten media that we love! ❤
I saw this movie when it came to the theater in Tarentum, PA. 22 miles north of the burgh. It was either 54 or 55. I was 8 or 9. Probably at the Manos
or Harris theater. I remember sitting thru it 3 times till mom came in looking for me. I fell in love with Julie Adams. The musical score was haunting when the creature appeared. One of my all time favorite movies!!!! Thanks for the visit to the actual location, younze did good!
Thank you for posting this video. It helped me discover why an internet article claiming that the Creature movie was filmed here was indeed incorrect.
I never get tired of watching you and baby ghoul videos.. love you guys and what you do. Thank u

Honestly, much much respect for the creature's actor. Swimming in that costume must have been really hard but he did a great job.

The Creature is outstanding, one of my absolute favorites since childhood. A lovely idea to pursue that photo location.
Really really cool video! I've always loved those color pictures but I always assumed they were taken on a set at Universal. Groovy!
I appreciate your showing the photo match ups! Since I watched your HH Holmes and Black Dahlia, I am hooked. You give Extra care to bring us in! 🙂
i love time traveling with you!! your adventures bring specific Feelings and energy. thanx for sharing such a unique LA scene 👀 💜
The creature is my favorite. I'll be 71 in March. You just made me feel so much older. Lol. Thanks kid.❤️❤️
absolutely AMAZING! I love all of your videos but this was one of my favorite as far as iconic film history! Thank you for all your hard work and time in getting this content to us!
Gorgeous landscape.
Love the work you put into this one. The Gill-Man is my favorite monster, so I always enjoy anything related to him.
Looks like so much fun retracing the very locations for the publicity photos.
Thank you for all your work.
The Creature is my all-time favorite Movie Monster so thanks for doing this, awesome job brother. 😎👍
I just love it when you go to such obscure places and remind us of the great classics! Thanks Michael what fun! Happy Halloween 🎃🖤🧡

Awesome video! I have the original movie in black and white thanks for another great video grimmlifecollective 👏🏻❤️
I would never think to try to find a location where a photograph was taken. This is something I hope I can do someday.
Awesome!! 👍 Fantastic Movie! 👌 season Screemings And Happy New year's to you guys! 😊✊👊🎄🍁♈🍁

Would be awesome if the park would clear out all the overgrowth so you could get to the water edge better. Would look nice also
Great job Michael and this was very awesome and amazing and very interesting too...love watching your channel of you and Jessica's.... love the pictures of the monster of black lagoon with the lady carrying her...great video Michael...Happy Halloween 🎃👻 guys!!
