The Creature from the Black Lagoon is a B-movie directed in 1954 by Jack Arnold. It’s is about a group on expedition to the Amazon who are menaced by a half-man, half-fish creature. In 2.20 Go Fish, Cordelia called the swim team monsters the “creature from the Blue Lagoon”, Xander corrected her saying it should be the “Black Lagoon”. The monsters that the swim team turned into in 2.20 Go Fish look as if their design was influenced by the movie.
Anya also referenced the movie The Creature from the Black Lagoon in 3.16 Doppelgangland:
“If she’s a vampire then I’m the Creature from the Black Lagoon.”

I love that Anya correctly references this, unlike Cordelia, it makes me go “aww, she is perfect for xander”. :)
