Yeah, you are exactly right! As we have gotten older, we have lost some of our ability to be fascinated with things like monster movies. That's why we love to think back to those days.
The Creature from Black lagoon was filmed up at Silver Springs. On the glass-bottom boat tour, they point out the exact cave where the creature lived when they filmed the movie.
In Them, the giant ants found a home in the drainage canals under Los Angeles. When they filmed the car race scene between Danny and 'Crater Face' in Grease, I was hoping one of the giant ants would jump out and grab one of them, but definitely not the beautiful Sandy.
Maybe I take these movies too seriously.
