John Agar
So, was John Agar reprising his role as "Clete Ferguson" from "Revenge of the Creature"?

Essentially, yes. The name was the same, there's a Creature from the Black Lagoon head mounted over his fireplace (with a spear through its head). John also calls in a suggestion during the blizzard of unhelpful phone calls: "Napalm! It worked on the Tarantula in 1955!"
shareI think you could say that. His big scene has a head of the Creature over the mantle--with a big spear through it. I Although he later suggests they napalm the monster "It worked with the Tarantula in '55!" And we had a line we cut for time referring to shooting the monster off the World Trade Center (since he was the Mayor in the 1977 Kong.) Considering subsequent events, it's just as well it never made it into the movie.
shareYea, even his costar Lori Nelson from the movie is there with the same name as well.
