[R.I.P.] ‘Creature from the Black Lagoon’ Star Julie Adams Has Died
Another legendary horror actor has left us, as it’s being reported tonight that Julie Adams has passed away at the age of 92. Adams is most known for her role as the leading lady of Universal’s Creature from the Black Lagoon, wherein she played scientist Kay Lawrence. Her character, of course, was the love interest of the titular Creature in the 1954 film.
Born Betty May Adams on October 17, 1926, Julie Adams began her big screen career with 1949’s Red, Hot and Blue, and she starred in a handful of Westerns before Universal cast her in Creature from the Black Lagoon, including The Dalton Gang, Crooked River, The Treasure of the Lost Canyon, The Mississippi Gambler and The Man from the Alamo.
After being forever immortalized as an iconic “scream queen” thanks to Creature from the Black Lagoon, Julie Adams starred in The Private War of Major Benson, Tickle Me, “The Jimmy Stewart Show,” “Code Red,” “Murder, She Wrote,” and more recently, World Trade Center and “Lost,” among nearly 150 other roles across film and television.
News of Adams’ passing tonight comes from Creature co-star Ricou Browning.

‘Boy Kills World’ – Red Band Trailer for Violent Action-Thriller Covers Bill Skarsgård in Blood
After playing Pennywise and before playing Nosferatu and Eric Draven, Bill Skarsgård takes on the role of a deaf-mute action hero in Boy Kills World, a one-of-a-kind action spectacle set in a dystopian fever dream reality. The film comes from producers Sam Raimi and Roy Lee, and Bloody Disgusting has got the Red Band trailer you’ve been waiting for.
The Boy Kills World Red Band trailer plays up the humor, manic energy and “kill fest” violence of the film, with one particular pull quote from Daily Beast referring to the bloody experience as “R-rated Looney Tunes on acid.” The film is indeed rated “R” for “Strong bloody violence and gore throughout, language, some drug use and sexual references.”
Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions will release Boy Kills World into theaters on April 26, 2024. Whet your appetite for violent mayhem with the official Red Band trailer below!
Moritz Mohr directed Boy Kills World, which was written by Arend Remmers (Sløborn) and Tyler Burton Smith (Kung Fury: The Movie).
In Boy Kills World, “Boy (Bill Skarsgård) is a deaf-mute with a vibrant imagination. When his family is murdered, Boy escapes to the jungle and is trained by a mysterious shaman to repress his childish imagination and become an instrument of death.”
Raimi previews, “Mohr brings a distinct visual style and an unbridled imagination to the screen, creating an original, outrageous, and visceral thrill ride. Boy Kills World‘s eclectic cast, eye-popping stunt sequences, and deranged sense of humor will blow audiences away.”
The cast also includes Happy Death Day star Jessica Rothe, Yayan Ruhian (John Wick 3, The Raid: Redemption), Andrew Koji (Warrior, Snake Eyes), Isaiah Mustafa (It: Chapter Two), Famke Janssen (The Postcard Killings), Sharlto Copley (District 9), Michelle Dockery (“Downton Abbey”), Brett Gelman (Stranger Things), Quinn Copeland (Peacock’s Punky Brewster), and twins Cameron and Nicholas Crovetti (Big Little Lies).
