Hi Ben, isn't the web wonderful. There was once a time when I quaked in my boots as a kid watching you in Polaroid (yes, polarized originally) 3D at the matinee, never realizing I would one day be saying to you, "Hey, wazzup, Gill Man!" As a longtime stereographer, the "Creature" has always been a classic for me. I've always loved Henry Mancini's score, too (the classic scary "DA DA DAAAH" music). Wow, I'm talking to a living legend. Good to meet you, cyberly speaking. Take care. Wes (P.S. Did you work for scale?...sorry-- my son made me.)

A lot of my friends think all black and white movies are stupid, but I like them better then the newbies. I`m just a kid who is obsessed with old b rated horror clips! Especially the creature from the black lagoon!

Hi Ben.....This is your Captain speaking...So glad to have met you on my flight from Dallas to San Francisco. ( I was the one who had named my son Ben) Hope you had a great trip back to the islands. Take care, Jeff Mundle

Mr. GillMan,
Came upon your site quite by accident by searching for CFTBL information. I still remember the first time I ever saw Creature from the Black Lagoon, SCARED the BAHJEEBERS outta me! Still to date, you are tied with Arness in THE THING as by favorite scary monsters!!!

I am so glad you have such a close relationship to your fans. I will be writing soon for an autograph to display in out home theater!

Speedy recovery my fishy friend!

Darren

Aloooooha TonTon!
Thought I might write you a note.Can not wait for Florida. Remember when we kids were young and you would have to MAKE us sleep before a BIG deal. That is how it is now waiting for Florida. Have a safe trip from Dallas.
Love
Your Neice, Maline

Hey Ben!
I had a great time meeting you at Dallas Comic Con! Your audio interview will be posted on my website the week of Halloween 2002.

Thanks for everything!

Mr. Chapman,
Dr. Fitzgerald told me about your website and I had to check it out. Glad I did. Hope your recovery is speedy.
