R.I.P. Gill-man

[Scrivener]

Ben Chapman, who played the iconic Gill-man in (the non-underwater scenes of) The Creature from the Black Lagoon died on Thursday, February 21st.  He was a small, rubber-covered piece of cinematic history, and even better, he didn't reprise his role in the two MST3K-worthy sequels, so his cool-to-cheese ratio is forever unblemished.

Gentlemen, a moment of silence.  Ladies, one last valedictory scream.

All my childhood heroes are going to be dead soon.
