Ben Chapman, known to his fans as the Creature from the Black Lagoon, has died. He had been a fixture at conventions for years and was widely beloved by monster fans. Ben was one of two actors who wore the famous Creature suit in the original film in 1954. Ricou Browning was the actor who portrayed the Creature in his underwater sequences, while Ben was the Creature in all of his out-of-water sequences. I deeply regret that I never got to meet Mr. Chapman. There's been a real outpouring of grief at his loss all over the various monster-related boards today.
