The Creature Sings feat. Gill Mann
Kicking-off this special edition of
SCREAM QUEENS...
SHADY'S LEADING LADIES...
that was an act called The Creature Sings featuring Gill Mann
doing a killer cover of "Runaround Sue," a #1-charting hit
in 1961 and one of Dion DiMucci's signature songs.
Hi, I'm Scream Queen Joline from the funny fright flick Dam Sharks.
Two things you should know:
A: There are too many fish in the sea.
B: I'm quite a catch.
(BA-DUM-BUMP)
Unleashed in 2016 and based on actual events 😜 Dam Sharks is
about an hour too long bull sharks that invade a freshwater lake
and build a dam using human body parts harvested from tourists and locals.
Oh, those Dam Sharks!
But that's not all. Returning to the big screen in 2017 as
the star of the fish tale Toxic Shark, I have a new name -
"Eden" - and the beach boys all wanna spend quality time in my garden.
(BA-DUM-BUMP)
Okay, enough about me....
and that's more than enough pics, Shady.
It's time to learn more about our special guest and featured artist.
We all know The Creature, the amphibious (and amorous) humanoid with an eye
for pretty women that inhabits the waters in the upper reaches of the Amazon
in the 1954 horror flick The Creature From the Black Lagoon and its sequels
Revenge of the Creature (1955) and The Creature Walks Among Us (1956).

Whenever he spots a beautiful leading lady in the arms of a handsome
leading man, The Creature turns green with envy. He lurks and lurks and
lurks some more until the gal's finally alone, then grabs her and carries her
off to his lair to make whoopee. But who knew The Creature could sing?
Here he is, the fabulous Gill Mann, accompanied by guitarist Lewis
Cutts (like a knife), covering the Beatles biggie-- "Because!"

Hola and buenos dias! I am Scream Queen Elena Santos...
star of the drama mystery thriller TV series The Watchful Eye.
I'm a live-in nanny, not to be confused with the sitcom star The Manny.
(BA-DUM-BUMP)
I just moved into The Greybourne...
a storied Manhattan apartment building that harbors many secrets.
In every episode, I put myself and my friends at great risk
as I take a deep dive into the Greybourne and
try to solve mysteries surrounding its residents.
Now, let's hear Gill Mann croon another tune, a cover of a
top 3 charting Roy Orbison hit from the summer of 1960.
Watch, listen and enjoy as The Creature Sings-- "Only The Lonely!"

I'm Scream Queen Constance Sandra Nicole, the only member of the
Shady Bunch with three first names. That's because I am the breakout
shooting star character in not one, but three cool horror-comedy movies.
In the 2004 Canadian sci-fi horror film Decoys, I'm known
as Constance Snowden, a sorority babe from outer space.
Foaming at the mouth, admiring frat boys think I'm out of this world,
and they'd be right about that... but beware. If a guy makes the
mistake of hooking up with me, I grow tentacles and freeze
his internal organs. Yep, I take frigidity to the next level.
Hold that gruesome thought while I pause for the cause
and introduce the next number by you know who.

Here he is, your fiend and mine, Gill Mann, with a song
by Hall & Oates that was a top 5 hit for the duo in 1981.
The Creature Sings- "You Make My Dreams (Come True)."

Me again. In the 2011 Canadian horror comedy film Silent But Deadly,
I'm Sandra Gibson, a documentary filmmaker who gets caught up in
a hot mess of mass murder and mayhem - country style. The story
revolves around a quiet, goat loving farm boy who snaps and goes
berserko when members of a movie company trespass on his land.
Jethro grabs pitchforks, shovels, rakes, saws, knives, machetes, power tools
and anything else he can find and goes on a killing rampage targeting the
city slickers. One of these days, I gotta have a long talk with that boy.
Speaking of killing, our buddy The Creature is set to do another killer cover.

Here he is, direct from Amazon (the river, not the e-commerce company),
a veritable fish out of water, doing his very beast to entertain you, the one
and homely Gill Mann. Once again, he is accompanied by Lewis Cutts
on guitar as they cover the 1978 hit by the prog rock band Kansas.
Listen as The Creature Sings- "Dust In The Wind!"

Lastly but not leastly, I am Eric Roberts' daughter
Nicole in the 2018 indie comedy film No Solicitors.
We're The Cuttermans, but you could call us the Fine Young Cannibals.
You see, whenever a pesky salesman or other unwelcome visitor
comes knocking on our door, we invite them in and tell them
we'd love to have them for dinner. Little do they know that
we mean "with some fava beans and a nice chianti."
Before they know it, the clueless saps are locked in a cage in our
basement and we're upstairs at the dinner table chowing down
on their limbs and entrails. (above) Papa Eric loves finger food.
Come to think of it, we're like The Cleavers, the family on
Leave It To Beaver, because that's what we use to chop up
our captives. (above) I'm especially fond of pickled tongue.
Now, it's time for our new bestie, The Crooner from the Black Lagooner,
to perform another golden oldie. This time, The Creep From the Deep
covers a ditty by The Shirelles that hit #1 in the early weeks of 1961.

Gill Mann will put you in a coffin as you hear him sing this song from
Carole King & Gerry Goffin-- "Will You Loathe Me Tomorrow!"

Hi! You can call me Cami or you can call me Sara because I am
another Scream Queen who has starred in three great horror films.
In the 2005 horror thriller Insecticidal, I'm a bookworm named Cami,
a goody two-shoes college girl who takes a hard pass on frat parties
so that I can have fun my way - by studying insects.
When my bugs suddenly mutate, grow to the size of Buicks and start
devouring my sorority sisters, I first give them a darn good scolding,
then try to figure out how to stop them. (SPOILER ALERT! -
I order a jumbo fly swatter from Acme Corporation.)
In Shrine (2010), I am journalist named "Sara" who travels with a pair
of colleagues to a remote European village to investigate disappearances.
The "Village People" do not sing our praises or invite us to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
As it turns out, the town has some dark secrets, and my friends and I wind up in
a desperate battle against industrial strength evil. It's fun for the whole family!
And finally... in the 2013 horror mystery thriller
Home Sweet Home, I'm another woman named Sara.
So... me and my hubs come back home after a night on the town.
To our chagrin, we are greeted by an intruder with murder in mind.
The masked menace ties us up, threatens and terrorizes us.
Worst of all, we learn that the creep has been sitting in
our chairs, sleeping in our beds and eating our porridge.
Okay, here's another old gold classic sung by our ghost of honor The Creature.

As he sings a #1 hit by The 4 Seasons, Gill Mann reminds us that he
knows how to do "The Swim" and he can also-- "Walk Like A Man!"

Hi everyone! I'm bringing up the rear as the
last presenter of this Scream Queens special.
As you can see, I'm the "Marilyn Munster"
of the group... a real ugly duckling.
My name? Well, like most of the
other girls on today's show, I have
gone by several different names
in my career as a Scream Queen
appearing in a string of groovy
horror flicks. This I can
tell you -- "Terror" is
my middle name.
First, I was "Jen" in the 2004 TV movie Monster Island.
Six young friends win a vacation to an island in the Bermuda Triangle
(no squares allowed) only to find that they must fight for their
lives doing battle with a deadly swarm of colossal critters.
(above) Me in Monster Island - based on the incredible true story.
In Snakehead Terror, another made for TV spooker released in 2004,
I play Amber, a small town girl tryin' to stay alive as a school of
voracious mutated Snakehead fish starts attacking and eating
anybody dumb enough to get in the water.
Alright, our pal Gill Mann is patiently waiting in the wings to belt out
another biggie for you. Listen as he nails his cover of a song that
was the biggest hit of David Bowie's career, an international
smash in 1983. The Creature Sings-- "Let's Dance!"

The Creature Sings feat. Gill Mann
Me again. So then in 2005, I was "Jenny," the daughter
of a luxury cruise ship captain in another terrible tale...
this one entitled The Loathe Boat Chupacabra Terror.
Smooth sailing abruptly ends when a vampire creature of myth & legend,
smuggled aboard the ship, busts loose and goes on a rampage... killing
passengers, the Ship's Doctor "Doc," Your Yeoman Purser "Gopher,"
Bartender Isaac, Cruise Director Julie McCoy and anyone else in its path.
And guess who was responsible for bringing the hellish hulk on board.
None other than Gustavo "Gus" Fring - "The Chicken Man" from Breaking Bad!
Gus Fring Captain Stubing
And then in 2006, I was "Ashley" in Final Destination 3 - a rollercoaster ride
to hell. Will I survive to become the lucky "Final Girl"? Watch the movie!
A-ha! - I've been Hunting High and Low for another
worthy song to introduce and a-ha! - I finally found one.

Here he is, The Amazon Assassin - The King of Croon from The Black Lagoon -
with his rousing rendition of a song by the Norwegian synth-pop band a-ha
that was a worldwide chart-topping hit in 1985. Watch, listen and learn
more than you care to as The Creature Sings-- "Take On Me!"
