 Swamp Thing is a 1982 horror film written and directed by Wes Craven. It starred Louis Jourdan, Adrienne Barbeau and Ray Wise as the scientist who was transformed into a monster (Swamp Thing) by a laboratory accident. The film was based on the DC Comics character of the same name by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson. A latecoming, low-budget sequel entitled The Return of Swamp Thing appeared in 1989. Author John Kenneth Muir notes that Swamp Thing differs in many respects from Craven's usual work. Intending to show the major Hollywood studios that he could handle action, stunts and major stars, Craven substituted his usual focus on the problems of the family and society for pure entertainment. Nevertheless, Muir points out, some of Craven's usual themes and images do appear in Swamp Thing. For example, as in The Last House on the Left (1972), and The Hills Have Eyes (1977), Craven shows a close connection between the landscape and his characters.Filming occurred primarily on location in Charleston, South Carolina, and nearby Johns Island, South Carolina. |

Swamp Thing, definatly a fan. The movies were pure campy, cheesy goodness and I actually loved the Cartoon and toys as a child. I even have the board game based on the cartoon in my closet still!

The Swamp Thing cartoon was great. I always make it a point to keep an eye on Cartoon Network during the Halloween season just in case they decide to air it, as they have occasionally done so.

Can I just say to, that every time I hear the song "Wild Thing" I think of two things:
1) Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn
2) Swamp-Thing
