EDITOR’S NOTE: The She-Creature was on Chiller Theater on Saturday, March 6, 1965 at 11:15 p.m. It also aired on August 13, 1966.

Edward L. Cahn also made Creature With the Atom Brain, Invasion of the Saucer Men, Zombies of Mora Tau and so many more. In this, Dr. Carlo Lombardi (Chester Morris) hypnotizes Andrea Talbott (Marla English) back through her past lives all the way back to her prehistoric form. He then uses her — the makeup by Paul Blaisdell is awesome — to kill his enemies.

Actor Edward Arnold died two days before production began and Peter Lorre, who was to play Lombardi, read the script. He fired his agent for not consulting him and pulled out of the movie.

The She-Creature suit nearly killed its creator — it got waterlogged in the beach scene and he was almost pulled into the undertow. The suit was used to promote the movie on Los Angeles talk shows, but Blaisdell was too exhausted to wear it, so Bob Burns appeared. The She-Creature also shows up in Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow, Voodoo Woman and How To Make a Monster.

In 1967, AIP got Larry Buchanan to remake the film in color for television as Creature of Destruction.
