Swamp Thing is a 1982 film written and directed by Wes Craven. It starred Louis Jourdan, Adrienne Barbeau and Ray Wise as the scientist who was transformed into a monster (Swamp Thing) by a laboratory accident. The film was based on the DC comics character of the same name by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson. A latecoming, low-budget sequel entitled The Return of Swamp Thing appeared in 1989.
Filming occurred primarily on location in Charleston, South Carolina, and nearby Johns Island, South Carolina due to the region's picturesque swampy scenery.
