The Alligator People




''The Alligator People'' was a film released by Twentieth Century Fox in '' Cinemascope '' in 1959 , directed by Roy Del Ruth with a screenplay by Orville H. Hampton.

Its plot concerned a scientist who, as a result of a lab experiment involving Alligator Hormones gone awry, becomes an alligator-human hybrid. The film is set in the American South, one of many Monster B-movies released in the era.

The Lizard , a Marvel Comics character who first appeared several years later in 1963 , has an origin which is nearly identical to the Alligator Man's in the film.
