For anyone addicted to creature movies, then Creature from the Black Lagoon has to come near the top of the list (top picture). It was a seminal 1950s B-movie that didn’t really frighten anyone, and yet still had the power to fill the aisles.
Well, the Creature is coming back, with a Universal movie planned for 2011 release. Meantime, the Universal Theme Park in Los Angeles is giving the new movie pre-release publicity with a show that has ‘guests thrilled to the gills’ (middle picture).
And that’s not the only Universal release in the works - it’s bought the rights for a movie based on Atari’s 1979 Asteroids video game that was played everywhere, from pubs and bars to the proto home computers that lived in many a teen’s bedroom. Asteroids (screenshot bottom pic) was also available on a mini console player called the Vectrex - and yes, Starcruzer has one of these collectible gems, and it’ll feature online soon.
