Because my brain needs this & I’ve not seen it before in life, plus the only other thing on is football, & just no on that, for me. I hope everyone enjoys their evening pursuing whatever you pursue!

It’s From Surf to Turf Tonight- When the Gill Man Hits Land and “The Creature Walks Among Us!”

Posted on September 6, 2025

Tonight on MeTV- we kick off September with a film we haven’t run in a while-the final part of the Universal Gill Man trilogy! This conclusion to the saga of the strange amphibian missing link takes him several steps further up the evolutionary scale- as the aquatic terror unwillingly becomes an air-breathing denizen, dwelling on land, in “The Creature Walks Among Us”!

The story starts with us sharing a car ride with a wealthy couple -Dr. William Barton and his lovely wife Marcia. They’re headed to the docks to meet up, aboard their boat, with an expedition team they’ve assembled. It seems Barton has heard tales of the legendary Gill Man having survived his supposed demise down in the Everglades- and put together this team to see if the Creature is indeed alive- and if it can be captured! Among his crew- geneticist Tom Morgan, a couple biologists, and an arrogant young guide named Jed ( no, not Clampett). They set out to track down the Gill Man, but onboard tensions are already rising- Mrs. Barton is unhappy with her abusive and somewhat maniacal husband- and is having to combat the unwanted advances of Jed. That, along with some fundamental disagreements on the reason for capturing the Creature, creates an uneasy atmosphere that can – and will- only get worse! (snip-MORE)
