LSU mentioned in 1959 classic "The Alligator People"

Can't sleep and found this movie on FXM.
Much of the action takes place in "Bayou Landing" in LaFource Parish. LSU is mentioned, not sure if any of the campus is featured.

Slightly worth it just to see an aging Lon Chaney playing a drunk swamprat intentionally running over alligators in his pickup truck.

A confused horror yarn set in the Deep South, Alligator People stars Richard Crane as a husband who becomes accidently separated from his new wife (Beverly Garland) during a train ride. She tracks him down to the swamplands surrounding his family mansion. Her reunion with her husband is tarnished by the fact that he's been partially transformed into an alligator! This is the handiwork of doctor George MacReady, who's been conducting curious experiments with gators and humans. Garland must figure out a way to save her mutated husband from both the scientist and a drunken alligator hunter (Lon Chaney Jr.). The story is told in flashback, as psychiatrists try to figure out what has driven Garland insane. The Alligator People was the last film directed by Roy Del Ruth, light years away from his glory days at Warner Bros.

Lon Chaney and Lon Chaney Jr are both awesome.

I don't think I would watch that movie even if I was in it.

Growing up in the 50's which I consider the prime time for BAD but entertaining monster movies, I remember this one well.

There's a Beverly Hillbillies episode where Jethro claims LSU as one of his alma maters (along w/UCLA, USC, SMU, and other acronym schools)
but nothing can top My Forbidden Past, in which Robert Mitchum plays a Tulane professor?!?

It was hilarious. You know someone read that script, said "why," and then frick it.
