Swamp Thing

 

In the 80s Wes Craven (Nightmare) made a movie based on the comic book about a scientist that has a chemical accident and gets turned into a creature. LIke any good creature feature - he has a thing for the leading lady. One of the Queens or Princesses of horror Adrienne Barbeau (The Fog) who was once married to John Carpenter stars as the leading lady. Arcane is a man. Ray Wise (Twin Peaks) was the scientist. All in all, I say: SEE IT


 In the 90s Swamp Thing was brought to tv with 3 years and 70 something episodes. Arcane is a male - bad guy, and Swamp Thing is trying to protect the innocent. It was kind of done like the Hulk. All in all, I say: SKIP IT unless you want to pay for it on Amazon.


 The CW DC world takes on Swamp Thing. Crystal Reed (Teen Wolf) combines the female lead & Arcane into one character - a good person character. There is even more supernatural elements to this series - like a darkness in the swamp and dead haunting the swamp. Virginia Madsen (Operation Christmas Drop) and Will Patton (The POstman) also star. It's interesting. All in all, I say: SEE IT
