Fantastic Photos From Fantasy Films - Weird Monster Escapes! Terror Seizes City! - Revenge of the Creature (1955)
In honor of the 1955 Universal horror classic Revenge of the Creature airing on Svengoolie tonight, I decided to resurrect my Fantastic Photos From Fantasy Films series and share some of my publicity photos from the film. I acquired these photographs from a movie memorabilia shop in Henderson, Nevada several years ago. Sadly, that shop is now out of business.
I don't know if any of these images have been published before? Generally movie studios print out numerous images to promote their movies, yet many of these photos never made it into theater lobbies, newspapers, magazines or books. That being said, this my be the first time that many fans will have seen these.
Rare Images From Classic and Not So Classic Horror Movies
I thought that many of you would like to take a trip with me into the vault of my infamous Monster Island News blog and relive some memories from some classic, and not so classic, scary movies.
