The Creature from the Black Lagoon in 3-D

About this event

Dir. Jack Arnold. 1954, 79 mins. Restored 3-D DCP. With Richard Carlson, Julie Adams, Richard Denning. In this classic Universal Pictures monster movie, scientists drug and ensare “the creature,” who becomes enamored with head scientist David Reed’s (Richard Carlson) female assistant, Kay (Julie Adams) while in captivity. When the lonely creature, “a living amphibious missing link,” escapes from detainment, he kidnaps the object of his affection, setting into motion a rescue mission, as well as a campaign to cast the ominous creature back to the depths from whence he came. Beloved for its brilliantly designed monster, as well as for its trailblazing use of 3-D, Creature from the Black Lagoon remains a touchstone of Hollywood horror, influencing Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water. Tickets: $17.50 / $12 senior and students / $10 youth / $7 MoMI members. There is a $1.50 transaction fee per ticket for all online purchases.
