That’s crazy that Craven grew up in such an Anti-Swamp Thing family!

Fun fact: the stuntman doing the fire gag (called a "burn" ) is named Tony Cecere. He performed similar stunts in John Carpenter's "The Thing", as well as "A Nightmare On Elm Street".

It\s impressive how adept Hollywood is to ostracizing everyone and everything that's actually good.

I love 1982 Swamp Thing. I can watch it over and over. The 2019 series was amazing also . North Carolina promised the studio a budget break and then when it came out, reneged on that deal, forcing the studio to cancel. Bunch of jerks. It was so good

Anton Arcane = Underrated DC villain.

I'm 42 years old and saw this when I wasn't supposed to when I was 5 yrs old and loved it and still do. That weird wolf lizard monster scared the hell out of me lol

I LOVED this movie as a kid! I watched it countless times and I had no idea Wes Craven directed it! He's awesome!! Great job Layton!

"MONSTERS AND MIDGETS" hahaha that's priceless

There is no nudity in this movie...well not in the American release. The nudity was only included in the European release. Fun fact, the European release was "accidentally" sent to US video rental stores and Adrian actually sued and won a large settlement because she hadn't been compensated for her nudity here in the states.

Man, that was an incredible year for movies and an even funner one for my 16 year old self and my buddies at the drive ins all summer long. Literally 5 nights a week at least and by the second movie we'd had friended the cars next to us especially the trucks in the farther-back rows. Rowdy times with lawn chairs and kiddie pools in the beds of trucks and plenty of "measured" drunkenness and weed-smoking so as not to get in trouble.

For the looooooongest time as a kid all I could remember from this movie was the scene where he takes a corn cob off of his body for the woman to eat... It's so weird.. I literally still don't remember anything else about the movie.

I'd like to see a stop-motion animated Swamp Thing.

Lol that "So...THIS was the state of comic book movies..." intro was perfect.
Also "Low Budget Charms" should be a garage band name.

All I remember is I couldn't understand a dam word Jude would say. Lots of giggling as children wondering 'what the heck is this guy saying?"  Intentional? Who knows but it added to the movie :)

I remember seeing this movie and really liked it you can feel everyone trying their best

I’ve loved this movie since I first saw it in its first run on HBO! I was 6 or 7 and it ingrained itself into my memory

I was fortunate to find a copy of the original DVD release with the longer cut on Ebay for 40 dollars.

I probably saw this movie ten or fifteen times on HBO as a latchkey kid during the mid-80’s (it ALWAYS seemed to be on around 3:30 in the afternoon, for some reason...) and I did not have any clue until the 90’s that this was a Wes Craven movie...one of my all time favorites—Thanks so much for this, (By the way, there are actually 10 episodes of the 2019 series that were produced for DC Universe, although there were supposed to be 13...it had its order shrunk due to budget cuts, and CW picked up most of DC Universe’s shows, like Stargirl and Doom Patrol , cheaply, but most, like Swamp Thing, flopped)

51:27 going through this kid's mind at the moment: "Mustn't look down... mustn't look down... whatever you do, for the love of God and everything holy - don't look down!"
