Round 6: Tossup 11

Description acceptable. Apocryphally, Ingmar Bergman watched a film about this character each year to celebrate his birthday. Clint Eastwood debuted in the second film about this character, who was played uncredited by Ben Chapman and Ricou Browning. Herman Stein’s three-note leitmotif frequently accompanies menacing close-ups on this character’s hand. For over 50 years, Bud Rushmore falsely claimed sole credit for this character’s design over animator Milicent Patrick, partially due to jealousy of the film’s marketing branding her as the (*) “Beauty Who Created the Beast.” The legend of the Yacuruna inspired this character, who kidnaps a scientist played by Julie Adams in a 1954 Jack Arnold film filmed in 3D and set in the Amazon. For 10 points, Guillermo Del Toro’s The (10[1])Shape of Water (10[1])is an homage to what amphibious Universal monster? ■END■
