There is an episode like that that was on the Outer Limits called "The Chameleon" it starred Robert Duvall as an agent sent undercover as an Alien. Great episode and very well acted plus get your tissues out for the ending.

So it was at the height of the Monster craze (Have you heard that Nessie is now thought to be a giant Eel!) let's just say it is having an EEL of a time dodging tourists.:bigsmile: 

Have you heard the Nessie Used to be a giant eel?

Yes although I like the other story more where they found the remains of a giant Nessie model used for the filming about 40 years later. It seems that it was built for the film "The Private life of Sherlock Holmes" and at the end of filming it mysteriously disappeared on the actual Loch itself, spooky.

Yeah, that wasn't a bad film.

This is what caught my eye reading that though....

Changing the subject, this clip from "The Bride...." was pure invention on the part of Whale. I'm sure there must have been some reference prior to the movie of such experiments? but can't think at the moment. 

I know there's stuff that followed it, like this for example..... What else is there, before and after?

There is an earlier 1916 German sci-fi film based on the Frankenstein story called the "Homunculus"  that featured the creation of a singular creature only he was a smallish man. This scene was  a deliberate injoke from James Whale as the Bride was Elsa Lanchester he had a little Henry the 8th in honour to Charles Laughtons most famous role and of course the Devil was played by Ernest Thesiger himself.(worship)
