Halloween 2019 Countdown: Films in LGBT Horror History
Creature From the Black Lagoon (1954) dir. Jack Arnold
“…is ostensibly about a group of scientists on an expedition to South America investigating a possible new species, and finding the shocking Gill-man. Upon a closer reading, though, it’s about handful of men sharing a homo-social excursion wherein they encounter a large, amphibian-like phallic symbol. And while the men and the beast all compete for the attention of a woman, her presence creates a persistently awkward foil for the men swimming about together in their skivvies.” -Vulture
