 It is loosely based on the movie of the same name.
 The game's theme is 1950's drive-in theater.
 The pinball machine was licensed from Universal Studios by Bally so that the backglass artwork, the cabinet artwork, and the creature looked like the original movie actors and monsters.

Richard Denning
Richard Denning (March 27, 1914 – October 11, 1998) was an American actor best known for starring in science fiction films of the 1950s, including "Unknown Island" (1948), "Creature from the Black Lagoon" (1954), "Target Earth" (1954), "Day the World Ended" (1955), "Creature with the Atom Brain" (1955), and "The Black Scorpion" (1957).
 Denning also appeared in the film "An Affair to Remember" (1957) with Cary Grant and on radio with Lucille Ball, as George and Liz Cooper, in "My Favorite Husband" (1948–1951), the forerunner of television's "I Love Lucy".
 His character's name on CBS Radio's "My Favorite Husband" was changed from George Cugat to George Cooper later in 1948.

Gill-man—commonly called The Creature—is the lead antagonist of the 1954 black-and-white science fiction film "Creature from the Black Lagoon" and its two sequels "Revenge of the Creature" (1955) and "The Creature Walks Among Us" (1956).
Revenge of the Creature
Revenge of the Creature (also known as Return of the Creature and Return of the Creature from the Black Lagoon) is the first sequel to "Creature from the Black Lagoon", being the only 3-D film released in 1955 and the only 3-D sequel to a 3-D film released during "the golden age of 3-D".
 Directed by Jack Arnold, the film stars John Agar and Lori Nelson.
 This was Clint Eastwood's film debut.
The Creature Walks Among Us
The Creature Walks Among Us, released in 1956, is the third and final installment of the "Creature from the Black Lagoon" horror film series from Universal Pictures, following 1955's "Revenge of the Creature".
 The film was directed by John Sherwood, the long-time Universal-International assistant director, in his directorial debut.
 Jack Arnold, who had directed the first two films in the series, had moved on to "A-list" films, and felt he had no more to contribute to the horror genre.
 He suggested that his assistant director, Sherwood, could move up to full director, which partly affected Universal's decision to allow him to direct the film.
 "The Creature Walks Among Us" starred Jeff Morrow, Rex Reason, and Leigh Snowden, and, like the original "Creature from the Black Lagoon", had music composed by Henry Mancini, who at the time was under contract with Universal.
