I think Swamp Thing originated in comics in the early 70s. The movie came out in 1982. Written and directed by Wes Craven and featuring Adrienne Barbeau's body (who was, I think, married to John Carpenter at the time). Carpenter wrote 'Escape from New York' (also starring Barbeau's body) which came out in 1981.

Alan Moore was one of the British invasion of genius comic writers who did makeovers of old titles/characters from old mainstream American comics. So, yes, there's a relation. Alan Moore wrote the first many issues of the "new" Swamp Thing series (in the early 90s I think). This film is the original shit though.

Thats what i was wondering. The comic was really cool i remember, granted i only read the alan moore series. The premise doesn't sound quite so appealing without knowing alan moore is doing the story. Still gonna check it out tho

i dickride alan moore hard

From what I remember, that Swamp Thing movie was very tongue-in-cheek and campy, pretty far in tone from Alan Moore's run on the comic.

this version is based on the original 6-issue run by Len Wein and Berni Wrightson and has no relation to Moore's version, besides having the same chracters

i think you saw its sequel, which is a jokey version of ST - the first movie was pretty serious in tone

Could be. It's probably been 20 years.

I saw Rise of the Planet of the Apes a few days ago. Pretty good.

Went to see The Inbetweeners Movie yesterday. I doubt anyone here watches the show, and there wouldn't be much point seeing it if you don't, but it was bloody brilliant.
