I loved those old rubber suit movies, where the women just stood there and screamed while the monster slowly lumbered toward them rather than run away.

The movie was filmed at Silver Springs Shores, Florida.
The lake is alive with alligators...

That scene you posted was once a flicker book when I was a kid. I had one of them. You would grab the edge of the book and flip the pages quickly with your thumb and all the little pictures would flick by and present that very same scene.
Memories!
By the way, rather than waste time with a funeral I believe they tossed her body in the lagoon to feed the creature. Ah, he finally catched her. She offered no resistance.

Just watched her last week in an old "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" episode, commenting to my spouse "man, she was quite the babe in her time."
Creeps me out a bit that I hadn't seen or thought of her in years...and now this news.

I haven’t thought of those flip-books in years! I used to have them, too.

...rather than run awayRunning only made them fall down. I grew up thinking girls just can't run!

Had no idea she had lived so long. Saw her in many movies and TV shows. RIP.

I had some of those flicker books. They were neat.

Ricou Browning is my Brother-in-Law’s First Cousin.
He was a student at Florida State. Browning picked up the film crew at the airport and drove them to the springs. They looked it over and decided it was fine for the movie setting.
They asked him to swim under water to check how the cameras worked under water. They liked his style and had him be the monster underwater. Another person was him out of the water.
Browning has had a long and very successful career doing and choreographing under water scenes.

Neat story. They had a job to do and just did it.

Just another one of those things that I wished I still had today so that I could be rich.

I took a look at the roles she played because I remember her from an episode of The Rifleman, and was just flabbergasted at how busy she was, as were many of the old character actors. It is fun to see them all over the place in so many of the old shows.

Me too. I was always silently in love with her.
