Poor Bastards of Cinema: Revenge of the Creature (1955)

 I decided to interrupt the Schedule due to noticing one I missed in a Classic Film that Svengoolie just played.

In Revenge of the Creature, Gill-Man is brought to America- specifically a Florida Water Park.

He, of course, escapes...

While he's not quite out for revenge- as the Title states- he does get what he is after.

Specifically, he kidnaps the Blonde Scientist (who quickly becomes a fainting damsel, since, 1950s).

No, the Poor Bastards are not the people who get their dinner interrupted.
...it's these 2 random guys.

For no clear reason, Gill-Man sets her down on a Beach and goes into the water.  Checking the temp, I guess?

They see her and stop...but don't realize that Gill-Man is back.
They die.

In most 1950s Films, this would be about them as the Leads.
Instead, they are nameless Poor Bastards who are killed off-screen, but their death is confirmed in the next Scene.

The lesson- don't go to the Beach at night.  When has that EVER worked out?
