original costume from the 1954 movie



Marcy Flynn Fiorica I was wondering if someone could tell me if the original costume from the 1954 film, "Creature from the Black Lagoon" was used in "The Munsters" episode, "Love comes to Mockingbird Heights". I remember watching the television episode quite recently and I when I saw uncle Gilbert come into the scene, he looked exactly like the Creature from the Black Lagoon. I am just wandering if they had to create a whole costume for the television show or were they lucky enough to get the original costumes from the 1954 film, "Creature from the Black Lagoon", I am asking because it not that important but, i am really curious about this fact of Hollywood history.

The Munsters was a Universal TV show, so no doubt it's a costume that was struck from the same mold as the Creature costume. Probably two dozen or more creature costumes were stuck over the years.
