It's a Creature Christmas again this year! He was the very first theme that PB picked out when he was just a small tot back in 2006. We kept that same theme for 2007 and 2008 because we loved it so much. I still have all of the ornaments and we placed them on the small aluminum tree that resides in the dining room this year. We revisited this theme because earlier in the year we attended a Comic Con where we got to meet Ricou Browning, the underwater creature in all 3 films!!! He is the only living Universal Monster still with us.
We got his autograph and placed it under the tree. Meeting him was truly a highlight of my life. I love the creature but another reason Ricou Browning is so amazing is his huge involvement with the water stunts and promoting national interest in the Florida Springs (Silver Springs, Weeki Wachee Springs, and several other neighboring ones) during the mid-century. We love visiting these older vacation destinations and have been working on hitting up most of the Springs over the last couple of years.
At the Con we also attended a panel talk with Ricou Browning. He told us that he makes more money doing these conventions than he ever did playing the role of the creature!
