| 4 | ''Curse of the Swamp Creature'' is a 1966 horror film directed by Creator/LarryBuchanan starring Creator/JohnAgar and Creator/FrancineYork. Although Buchanan was producing low budget 16mm color remakes of Creator/AmericanInternationalPictures sci-fi movies for television distribution around this time, he claimed this was an original film, even though it bears more than a few striking similarities to the 1957 AIP film ''Voodoo Woman''. |

| 6 | Deep in the rural swamps of Texas the reclusive and ruthless MadScientist Dr. Simond Trent is conducting experiments in his laboratory on the local impoverished voodoo-worshiping black "natives" in an attempt to discover the secret to reversing evolution, feeding the failures to the alligators he keeps in his covered outdoor swimming pool. When a party of oil surveyors comes upon his isolated yet strangely suburban-style home he decides to take the final step and turn the duplicitous female leader of the expedition into a grotesque and virtually indestructible amphibious "Fish Man" so that he can take his revenge upon the world. |
