![]() Throughout the film, they are ripping off women’s blouses while leaving the men’s shirts tidy and fully buttoned. Quite unbelievably, these creatures not only exhibit superhuman strength and a mad bloodlust, but they also become big-time breastmen. In this film, the monsters (who are evidently atomic mutants who look and act like zombies) just can’t stop tearing women’s tops off. ![]() But as disturbing as this is, it doesn’t compare to the mutant zombies in Nightmare City (AKA City of the Walking Dead)(1980). You can easily imagine it saying, “ohhhhh yeahhhh” in a deep Barry White voice, then carrying his damsel to his subterranean waterbed. I mean, just look at this monster’s expression. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the subterranean creature from Adventure at the Center of the Earth (1965) shown below. In fact, they reject the slave girl because of her “hideous” similarity to normal humans. A fair trade in some respect.ĭespite the compromising position (above) from The Mole People (1956), these creatures aren’t full of flaming lust for human women. What would this strange atomic radiation do to us? Would it turn mankind into hideous freaks? According to Day the World Ended, we lose our good looks, but our sex drive gets kicked up a notch. In the 1950s, nothing struck fear into the hearts of Americans more than the threat of nuclear annihilation. In Day the World Ended (1956) we learn that exposure to radiation from H-Bomb testing will turn you into a mutant constantly in search of a booty call. Indeed, this gorilla/human is a freaking sex machine and will stop at nothing to get a hold of some trim. If you’ve seen this film you can attest that this creature has one thing and only one thing on his mind – and that is getting laid. Just imagine if Shamu developed a pertinacious hard-on for its trainer – wouldn’t that be charming? In the film, our aquatic pervert takes a liking to a female Ichthyology student studying him, and relentlessly stalks the poor woman. To put to rest any theories that Gill Man was just randy for anything on two legs, I present as evidence the sequel, Revenge of the Creature (1955). (That paints a pretty picture, doesn’t it?) But did anyone ever stop and think how utterly disturbing this whole scenario is? What did Gill Man intend to do with his human captive? In fact, there’s even a degree of ambiguity in the film which keeps open the possibility that our amorous amphibian did sexually assault poor Kaye. Indeed, you’ve got to admire Gill Man’s perseverance the creature even builds a makeshift dam to keep his lovely lady in check. This “Gill Man” does everything in its power to get this chick to its underwater lair (presumably to commence sweet, sweet lovemaking). ![]() In the film, an amphibious creature becomes enamored by a ship’s only female crewmember and repeatedly tries to abduct her. Let’s take a look at a few varieties of these Creature Feature Casanovas.Ī perfect example is The Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954). So, what’s the problem? The cinematic creatures less resemble beasts in need of true love’s redemption than stalkers with a crush. So, it’s only natural that this tale would transition from literature to the big screen. The trope has been so persistent because it tells a very human story: that women can redeem men, who are by nature brutish and animalistic. More recent examples in literature: Quasimodo & Esmeralda, The Phantom of the Opera & Christine. Aphrodite & Hephaestus, Persephone & Hades… we could even go back to Enkidu & Shamhat in the The Epic of Gilgamesh. Of course, the Beauty & the Beast scenario has been a part of our mythology and folklore for ages. Yet, it happens again and again in old movies: these hideous creatures could care less about their own kind but when it comes to human ladies, their attraction knows no bounds. There’s nothing cute about a reptilian humanoid’s insatiable lust for our women. Whether it be giant gorilla or mutant zombie, there’s just something disconcerting about when a monster gets all hot and bothered over a human female.
