The music was frightening...
It chilled me to the bone...
And the Oscar should go to the guy
who dies in the quick sand...
Love these Old Gems !!
You can never go wrong with a film by Larry Buchanan.
Thanks for the upload
Boy, this one's crap from the word "go". In Michael Whelan's Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film, his entry for this was "John Agar arrives, sits in an easy chair, and smokes cigarettes." How can ya not love it? Larry Buchanan makes Ed Wood look like Steven Speilberg. Truly a high-water mark for bad movie afficionados! This was a staple of monster movie hosts back in the 70s. Shirley Temple must've been thinking "better you than me, John."
Creature feature, million dollar movie, chilly bill cardilly,chiller theater. I loved and miss them all.
it just started and the guy in the red shirt had that stance that makes me know i'll love this movie
I honestly dig the scientist. He was such an interesting character. And those glasses are perfect.
Love the drums, I have to find some similar drum tracks... hypnotic.
Nice movie.
Saw this on TV in the 80’s, featured on Count Gore de Vol’s show. Still a classic to me!

Yessir
Thank you for showing this movie.
I like a good monster movie.
I shot a film in Louisiana near New Orleans right in the swamp, it was a great B movie.
The acting in this movie is top notch
They had some crazy B rated movies back then. I watched this years ago
Oh I seen this one! Pretty good movie I think! Thanks for the movie! Today I need a good movie 😊
The doctor-mad scientist looks like a guy who would be walking into an adult bookstore circa 1969 in a shady part of town.
With a cocktail party that on his head.
Absolutely.
Or running a kids comic book store in 2021
fauci?
this 1 freaked me real good when i was a kid, 2o'clock on a Saturday afternoon ?! Hail "Creature Feature" !
SCARY IN THE DAY.
In Philly it was Creature Double Feature.
Oh god I miss the old days
When I was a child we use to live right next to the Great Dismal Swamp in Virginia when I watched this movie at 10:00 PM and it scarred the crap out of me just knowing we lived right next to a swamp and I just knew a swamp creature would come out of the swamp at anytime I could not sleep that night night after watching it on creature feature horror show
if i was your mom i would use that to keep you in line lol
@@genmanion2389 Good thing you aren't then.
Aw, he had such a pretty smile as he exclaimed "Help me, it's quicksand, help me". What a very pretty smile. Never mind his previous intentions, that smile alone oughta inspire someone to save him from the quick sand, oughten it?
A "Timeless Classic". Uh huh. Larry Buchanan. Need say more? I think not.
Finally! a movie that makes Plan 9 look like a polished Shakespearean masterpiece.
👶
Love the old movies thank you

God bless john agar....our b movie hero
Cheap as they are, Larry Buchanan's made for TV sci-fi films have an eerie, naturalistic quality to them, I've always found. Of the lot, I think "In the year 2889" is probably the best, although my favorite of them is "It's Alive!", which was the first one I saw when I was 9. Bill Thurman had a role in " The last picture show" in 1972. It must be the most notable movie he was ever in. Incidentally, Cloris Leachman won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in it.
If somebody could upload "The Astounding She Monster" (1957), that'd be great. How about "Sky Above Heaven" (196?) or Jess Franco's "Attack of the Robots" (1966)? "The House that Screamed" (1969) with Lilli Palmer would also be terrific. Thanks.
This movie is so bad that it's
actually good. As Ben Franklin
once said, "Anything worth doing
is worth doing well"........even if it's
bad. Flcks like this used to scare
me as a kid.d. Now they make me smile.
Wish we had a Ben now
Ben was a wise man
Thanks for posting.
man theses movies were great at one time, still are for me😀
It's when movies were movies.
This was not ones of those good movies..
@@LemonWedgeinc wrong
It Was On A Saturday Afternoon 15:30 Chanel 8 , I Was 5 Yrs Old That Movie Scared The Hell Out Of Me , Now I am 58Yrs Old 🧐😎👮🏻♂️😁🤪
Im same age i was 7 first time. I jump behind my pillow
John Agar starred in 10 low budget horror/sci-fi films in the 50's and 60's. He was married to Shirley Temple for a brief time during the late 40's.
To think he started out with John Wayne and Henry Fonda 😂!
As a boy, I thought quicksand was thick and slurry. Not water. So when I saw it in 1966, I said nah! It's just water. But now, I know that quicksand can lurk just beneath a rivers surface.
Francine, very glad to see that you are still around. I saw you in a couple space movies.Yes, John Agar was a wonderful actor and Bill Thurman was a great character actor. He appeared in a couple movies with John.
this movie scared my dad when he was a kid not me!!! its funny
Love the tacky 60's cocktail scenes, the beehive, the green Capris, the "Keep your fingers crossed baby. If we find that oil, we can clear out of this stinking trap." The movie was filmed in Uncertain, Texas, where the 'Fly-N-Fish Lodge' and Airport in the early scenes still exist. It was released in Feb. 1968, not 1966. A review at the time said, "One of Z-grade schlockmeister Larry Buchanan’s better movies. That’s not to say that it’s any good, just a comment that you can probably sit all the way through it from beginning to end without falling asleep or wanting to gouge your eyes out with your own fingers."
The Fly-N-Fish makes a cameo in "It's Alive" during Miss Pittman's flashback story. lol
Loved working on this strange horror film - John Agar was great to work with - Shot in Uncertain Texas and it was --------- swamps all arournd-- It is fun to watch - a cult classic - ----
What a unique and fantastic experience that must have been!
Great Always like John Agar's Movies like the Creature from the Black Lagoon. & Some of the Westerns & war Movies that he made with John Wayne etc. May he RIP as he passed away in 2002 @ 81 Yrs Old. He is missed by all of his Fans.
Jeff Alexander Plays a creepy DR. how was he to work with must of been scary etc.?
You are a Beautiful looking woman Great Movie
Cool! 👍
1966 must have been...a very special time. It's the same year that _Manos: The Hands of Fate_ and _The Wild World of Batwoman_ appeared, not to mention *_this_* film.
And I appeared for the first time.
There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that the Swamp Creature is, actually, my ex-wife, The Anti-Christ. She is alive and well and working at a dairy in Florida, turning cream sour. I met her at the Thanksgiving Day parade. There were ropes hanging from her.
Thanks for the laugh.
Thank you for your input
Now that actually made me spit my adult beverage across the room!
XD
@@vernalc2449 right
This was certainly a movie.
Of all the movies I’ve seen, this was one of them!
John Agar made some of the best Ed Wood type of science fiction movies.
Of course, everyone has a huge covered swimming pool with crocodiles in their back garden. Always handy for getting rid of unwanted guests. Nothing unusual about that!
That's the American south for 'ya.
I saw this movie when I was a kid. So scary. Now its so campy. I love it when the mad scientist get his just desserts!
What a TOTALLY STUPID comment.
He makes it VERY CLEAR at the beginning of the film that they are ALLIGATORS!
PAY ATTENTION!
He wasn't disposing of a body. he was just doing a load of whites and using gators to agitate.
I remember this at the drive-in as a double future thanks for posting brings back alots of good times for me the kids of today wouldn't know what a drive-in is or how fun it was
i love the charm of these dirt budget films
"Hey fellas, we need a laboratory and a swamp for a movie set. Any ideas?"
"Well my mom is going away for the weekend so maybe we can use her place."
Full use of my pet cocckydil
john "tarantula" agar is da man
Some of these Alzalea productions were filmed around the Dallas area, especially the White Rock Lake neighborhood. A few of the actors such as Rodger Ready was a local sportscaster for WFAA TV. Some times they would bring on old "corny dog" king Mr. Fletcher who would play a military colonel or general of some sort. Tommy Kirk, an old Disney actor from the Mickey Mouse Club, would appear in a few of Alzalea productions. Another veteran actor Paul Birch would also appear. I know this, because I lived in the neighborhood at the time.
Found this for $1.00 on double feature with Snow Beast, they're both fun to watch
LOVE Snowbeast with Clint Walker & Bo Svenson
Heck, I grew up on Bestonk Dooley, might not have spelled that right, but at 11:00 p.m. on Friday nights he came on with all the old, old goodies. He had that damn horrible witch person laughing. Wouldn't you know, I grew up to get to know that crazy woman. So much of this stuff should be taken in context. You know, like Godzilla from the 50s and Mothrau, spelling again may be off. You have to grow up with all this crazy stuff to appreciate. Thanks for the upload.
OK, as a mad scientist he's pretty creepy, but you ought to see/hear him - Joe Bonamassa - play blues guitar...he's excellent!
You're right about Joe Bonamassa being a good blues guitarist, but I'm not sure what that has to do with the scientist in this movie. The actor playing the scientist is Jeff Alexander, who also played the not so nice school janitor in "Horror High".
Keep all strangers out of my swamp!
I watched it all the way through. Hokey creature, but I actually enjoyed it. Uploaded only 3 days before.
Thanks for the upload.
Here from the suicideboys video haha
A year later Larry and John Agar made Night Fright, this was a bit better then this movie. It had a Bigfoot type monster and John plays the small town sheriff.
Thank God there was no hero liplocking with the heroine in this movie and all the bad people got their comeuppance
I like this movie. It is more interesting than some of the crap I see on TV.
+robert b I hear you on that.
+robert b I have to agree. Of course it isn't the best film ever, but it was lots of fun! To take it for what it is and enjoy it is the point. It's no worse Dr moreau, is that name of that crazy research on the private island? That was lots of fun also. I would give it several thumbs up in the entertainment slot.
>robert Probably better than ALL the crap you see on TV. Especially the so-called "news". Heh heh.
robert 4 classic horror movies. Free
Scientist reminds me of brain from pinky and the brain.
love it!
This is one great film!! I love it!! so fun to see it again!!!
Like the scientist!
Best channel on RUclips,so glad I found you,Im a big fan of old corny cinema,nothing better,IMO.
At least this movie does not have cheap looking computer graphics, and actors with hideous plastic surgery.
Where there any actors in it at all ? I thought they were all just extras who kept getting in the way .
sure you did
sure sure
From the people who brought you "Zontar: The Thing From Venus"....
Zontar should join the WWE-- ZONTAR The Great from Parts Unknown !!👍💪👽
fun to
watch anyway
I kept looking at the lower right corner for the silhouettes of a guy and his robots, but they never appeared.
spooky with that jason mask
"Say hello to MRS. West", lol.
better stay alert, cuz i'm spooky with that jason mask
Nice Movie...Thanks😎
I hate to break this to the original poster, but this is a remake of VOODOO WOMAN (1957). Larry Buchanan's sole purpose in the film industry seems to have been taking a bad movie and making it look like an MGM spectacle by remaking it on a bus-fare budget.
+DrDespicable Funny you should mention MGM,because they own this film,through their 1997 purchase of Orion Pictures Corporation,which owns all the American International movies!
voodoo woman is so bad that it's to quote the cinema Snob you will need a support group after you watch that and this one too.
Gee, there's a surprise denouement. An evil scientist destroyed by his own creation. Whodathunk?.
I remember this.was young then
on the boat ride into the swamps. ...the young man was armed with a cheap toy gun of the day......too funny
Killer! Thanks for uploading!
so incredibly bad, it's good, and there are so many just like this one.
I'm confused! Have I missed something? He doesn't want anyone coming to his compound. Yet, he's blaring the boogie woogie bongo beat halfway across the country. So, what am I missing here? Is it just me?
And, when did Tracker get out of the mental hospital & give up his love of popsicles & stupid nurses? (Hint: "Don't Look In The Basement" reference)
Worst alligator movie ever!
Best alligator movie ever? "Rogue"! I live for horror movies, and I don't scare easily. But, Rogue kept me on the edge of my seat, and made me cringe. Quite good under appreciated movie.
well, some of you might think this is crap, but I found it quite fun. Jack Nichols would have been a better insane researcher, but then he wouldn't touch it. Nevertheless, I thought it was quite fun. I mean, what do you expect? Just enjoy it for what it is.
"You're pond scum!" -- The Swamp Creature's favorite curse.
1:09:55 $uicideboy$
this has to be the worst sci-fi movie I've ever seen. I love it!!!🐴
Yeah I'd watch again in a minute!
What an awesomely deliciously terrible movie! My absolute favorite kind! Ya know, they really don't make'm like this any more. Now the bad movies are just unwatchable..................til some future generation discovers them, I suppose. Can't see it myself, but who am I to rule such a future appreciation of today's bad movies out?
Must be the neighbor of the Gill Man.
sure would be nice if stop buffering all the time
Hunter S. Thompson in the lead role........cool!
strange, I really enjoyed this movie! why???...... mmmmm, it's a mystery
Delicious cheese swiss cheddar
The Natives Dances Discovered The Watucci in the 60's
$uicideboy$ ?
Curse of the Swamp Creature = an analysis of the t rump presiduncy!!!
I like this movie. Dennis winship lynn,Massachusetts
No monster, the only monster was the doctor. I was disappointed I thought there would have been more creature not 5 minutes worth!!!
Filmed at The Fly N Fish , Uncertain Texas , Caddo Lake
"Breathe!"
Wheres the creature ?
The mad scientist looks a bit like a cross between D.B. Cooper and Hunter Thompson. The dude who beat up the punk in the hotel room was in "It's Alive." I need to watch "Mars Needs Women" or "Creatures Of Destruction" next. Movies like this are pure drive-in swill at their best (or, worst). Break out the air freshener after you watch this. Ha!
no he looks like one of the Blues Brothers :) or that black blind musician whats his name--its the glasses . they rock :)
tom Hunter Stevie Wonder is the guy in the glasses and he is blind. LOL!
+summer rose ....Ever see the house that Stevie Wonder lives in ? Him either !
BREATHE! Lol
The acting is so bad...
Fun distraction. March 2020
I don't know, it was kind of an improvement. She was bucking 46 anyway.
Could've been worse he could've turned her into a Kardashian or Rosie O'Donnell😄😄😄😄😄

This has to be,the cheapest Horror movie ever made! the dialog alone,is like having a shot of gum numbing novocaine! but back in the day,American International was the king of serious low budget flicks-and most of them,were much better then this movie!
Francine York,God Bless her,played in this movie,and gets a lot of exposure from this Turkey! this movie was so cheap,that in one scene,where the guy is chasing the Black girl,who leads the man into quicksand,was just "quickwater",and while there is some truth between water and quicksand,this shot,just didn't show enough believability! even the make-up looked liked something from a Mr Patatohead toy set! all in all,"CURSE OF THE SWAMP CREATURE" is so bad,that it's quite good! Larry Buchanan goes down in history,as one of the kings of the extremely cheap moviemakers,,almost in the same vein as "PLAN NINE FROM OUTER SPACE",if not,worse enough!
Hey mister,don't make this critique personal-everybody's entitled to an opinion,and i've stated mine openly and honestly,so if that annoys or bothers you,then don't waste your time,,you have more important things to do,besides having a hissy fit over a cheaply made horror movie,with an even cheaper budget! "CURSE OF THE SWAMP CREATURE" will always be one of those highly cheap movies,which are still fun to watch,despite the cheesy dialog,and the seriously BAD acting,but this turkey was released by American International,who was a superior studio,that thrived on low budget movies,and had a major success with Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello's BEACH films,which was THE ultimate franchise of its time! also,there are PLENTY of Turkeys out there,that make this movie minor in comparison-so please,,go easy on the snob stuff,i'm not Leonard Maltin or Gene Sisco!
Please let's be civil-this isn't a pissing contest,and if i've offended you,then let's fix this! we don't have to get into name calling,and especially over an obscure,low budget thriller that was made 50 years ago! and i agree with your other opinion,because Hollywood today really does suck! when "CURSE OF THE SWAMP CREATURE" was made in 1966,it was one of many low budget thrillers made and released by American International Pictures,when Samuel Z Arkoff was alive and running a studio,which did pretty well back in the 50s and 70s,before they were brought by rival company Filmways,and eventually Orion Pictures Corp,before MGM brought them in 1997! i occasionally communicate with the movie's co-star Francine York on her Facebook page,and to this day,she still gets lots of serious Fan mail about "CURSE"-all i was trying to do,was to give an honest opinion about how low budget this movie was-didn't think i'd be stepping on anyone's pride over the critic review,so again,many apologies!
Oh,and i'm no liberal either,and i support the 2nd Amendment right for
Americans to own guns-and despite your other statement,i also like Matt Damon's "BOURNE" movies,and look forward to the fifth one,being released by the end of this month! it's one of the few Hollywood movies that i enjoy!
Who's a fool,,me? what do you have against Matt Damon? because whatever Australia's Gun control measures are,,that's them,not us!
just remember H.G.C. that there are lots of liberal actors in liberal Hollywood,that support goofy causes and movements-i have issues with the LGBT movement,and Hollywood supporting this faction-their
values are not any of our business,nor would i want them being used in any of our movies! as for Damon,i don't support his,or any other current actor's cause,,not my thing! many of the people i like in this business are either retired or deceased,and believe me,i am very picky
about what and who i like,when it comes to Films and TV ! and question,,what is a GWN? i support our 2nd Amendment,because all these liberal laws (too many of them!) don't apply to Terrorists and hard core criminals,especially where the American public's right to self protection is concerned! did you know that The Social Security Administration is implementing a plan to confiscate and seize the many legal Guns of our Senior citizens,and that Obama's control of the VA has also screwed over many of Military vets,which is also targeted for Gun confiscation,if they wish to receive their benefits,,so how seriously retarded and screwed-up is that? you call Matt Damon "Matt Gayman",you think he's queer? my guess is,,that you're not a huge fan of this man,,i get that! did you know that he wasn't the only actor to play "Jason Bourne",,it was Richard Chamberlain,who played him,in a Warner Bros.Television produced TV movie for ABC in 1987 or 1988-and ironically,Chamberlain,who i've actually met,is also Gay,and that's sad,,but that's his choice and personal life,which is where that should've stayed! fools vary,nor do i see myself as one,,or you! we both have focused interests,and we both know what we enjoy and value! i can live and exist on old Primetime vintage TV,anyday before i
watch the shit they're showing now,,no thanks!
HGC,you seem to have serious issues with these liberals,nor do i like being told i'm not bright-who made you perfect,all of a sudden? who said that i need to know a liberal from a conservative? you attack me,for showing honest critique over an obscure movie made 50 years ago,then you compound the insult by saying i'm not too bright,,really?didn't realize that Mr Damon was part of the liberal activist list! you are the first person who's pointed that out to me,so i will be more observant over the "brought and paid for,mouth pieces" you mentioned,but let's not resort to petty insults,because that's such a waste of time for both of us! here's the bottomline: i agree with most of your views,because i don't like the direction our country is headed,especially with a pussy President,who has so far,evaded impeachment,,so i am no fan of the liberal left,let alone the liberal media! i'll learn about Damon in due time,but like you,i don't support Gun confiscation,because the right to protect ourselves is extremely serious-and yes,today's acting business is filled with plenty liberal no talents,,that is something that we can both agree upon!
