Hi, Ben. Craig Seleck of Deland,fl. let me know how to contact you. Imagine a 5 year old boy in Central Florida, going to the drive-in theatre, with his folks. Riding in the back of an old pickup. Excitedly talking to his sisters, as the lights go down. And the movie starts on the giant drive-in screen. Sh-sh, the movies startin, we'd say. Creature from the Black Lagoon, Saturday nites, when life was good! Now i'm 56 years of age, Ben. Thanks for the memories. The youth of today are really missing out on something. If we could get some of that back, wow! Your fan for 51 years, Dave Pope, po box 1224, Deland, Fl.32721-1224.

Could you please send me an autograph photo. thank you. john burke 2438 south 9 street Philadelphia Pennsylvania. 19148

BEN: WE ARE HOLDING A CONVENTION IN OUR AREA "SCREAMFEST 2004" [FT. LAUDERDALE, FL] AND ONE OF OUR GUESTS WILL BE YOUR 'COUNTERPART' RICOU BROWNING. IT WOULD HAVE MADE MY DAY IF BOTH YOU AND RICOU COULD HAVE APPEARED TOGETHER - I AM A GREAT FAN OF BOTH AND THE 'CREATURE' HAS ALWAYS BEEN [AND STILL IS] MY FAVORITE MONSTER CREATION SINCE CHILDHOOD. ALL 3 'CREATURE' FILMS ARE TREASURED COLLECTIBLES [JUST PURCHASED THE NEW"CREATURE LEGACY COLLECTION' FROM UNIVERSAL] AND I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE CONTINUED THE SERIES.

BEST OF WISHES ALWAYS!!
FOREVER ~ DAVE [& FAMILY]

PS: OOPS! I FORGOT TO MENTION....ALSO WASN'T THERE ANOTHER LAND 'CREATURE' FROM THE THIRD FILM...."DON MEGOWAN"? I AM NOT SURE, BUT WERE YOU INVOLVED IN THE 3RD SEQUEL? CURIOUS..

hello, it was a real pleasure to meet you at the airport in chicago on our way back to hawaii. thanks again for the autograph.
like i said before, your movie was the first movie that ever realy made afraid to go in the water. aloha

Ben Chapman is still kickin' ass all these years later! The Creature was an inspiration for my own movie career. Thanks, dude, you rock!
