I was only 6 years old and my grandmother (can you believe it?) took me to see The Creature From The Black Lagoon! She was a feisty Ukranian woman and loved what she called “spooky movies”. How I miss her....
I suppose my girls were about 8 when I found Creature From the Black Lagoon at the library. They LOVED it, and still do. When they were 10 I got “Dracula”, thinking it would be another fun, old-time black and white horror flick but not too scary.
Boy was I wrong! We didn’t get too far into it and the girls were really frightened. We had to stop it!
