History Pinball / CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon

* RealSongThemeTune: ''Creature'' has five 1950s songs for its main play theme: "Rock Around the Clock", "Get a Job", "Summertime Blues", "Willie and the Hand Jive", and "Red River Rock".

Taking place [[TheFifties in 1954]], you and your girlfriend head out to the local drive-in theater to watch ''Creature from the Black Lagoon''. While waiting for the film to start, you try to get food from the snackbar, play on the local playground, and steal a kiss from your girlfriend. You also have to deal with peeping toms and large vehicles that block your view.

* DriveInTheater

** The "MOVE YOUR CAR!" guy reappears in Williams' 1994 ''[[Film/TheFlintstones Flintstones]]'' pinball game, as an impatient customer at a drive thru.

'''Creature from the Black Lagoon''' is a 1992 pinball game designed by Creator/JohnTrudeau and released by Creator/WilliamsElectronics (under the Bally label). The name's a bit misleading, though; while it is named after [[Film/CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon the film of the same name]], this game's setting is [[FramingDevice that of a 1950s-era]] DriveInTheater. Save for the 3D decal in the middle of the table and main multi-ball mode, there's virtually nothing to with the movie itself.

* DisproportionateRetribution: During "MOVE YOUR CAR!", the player tries to blow up a huge van that was blocking his view (using dynamite, a bazooka, a flamethrower, and [[NukeEm an atomic bomb]]), but the van itself [[MadeOfIndestructium remains unscathed]]. Ironiclly it'll move on its own if you can't get the ball up the ramp in time.
