Welcome back to Fright School! Joe is the best house sitter! 5 stars! Joshua discusses his trip to London and tells Joe about ABBAVoyage! We catch up on STRANGER THINGS. This week we're finally discussing CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON. It's the 1954 Fish Person version of KING KONG! We take a deep dive into the murky waters of the Amazon to explore the film's confusing feminist messaging, the racial politics at play, and a possible Queer reading of the Gill Man. \n\nYou can WATCH this episode now by subscribing to our Patreon! :) \n\nRecommended Reading/Viewing:\n\nOfficial trailer Creature From The Black Lagoon (1954)\n\nFeminism and Semiotics in \u2018The Creature From The Black Lagoon\u2019 by Sabrina Davidson\n\nRace, Gender and Terror: The Primitive in 1950s Horror Films by Patrick Gonder\n\nForget the Babadook.
