Waterlow

Background

Waterlow is a research assistant for Emmanuel Hildern in London, England.

During the events of The Creeping Flesh (1973) played by George Benson

Emmanuel walks into the house from his journey to New Guinea and hugs Penelope and then greets EEmily and Waterlow and promises to eat breakfast with Penelope. The box with the specimen is brought to the laboratory by Carter and another man and Emmanuel excitedly tells Waterlow that it might win them the Richter Prize. Emmanuel shows Waterlow the specimen and compares the skulls of primitive humans to the large skull of the specimen. Emily tells Emmanuel that breakfast is ready, but he tells her that he is too busy. Waterlow and Emmanuel figure out the specimen must be older than Neanderthal, but seems more advanced. Later, Emmanuel tells Waterlow about a myth the people of New Guinea had in which their giant ancestors fought a war between good and evil and how, by removing the specimen from the ground, he sped up when the next war between good and evil will happen. Emmanuel looks at the specimen's blood under the microscope and sees living blood cells. He mixes the specimen's blood cells with his own and thinks evil could be prevented by inoculating people with a serum made from the specimen's blood. Emmanuel injects a monkey with the serum he just made. In the morning, Waterlow goes to the laboratory and then calls Emmanuel and they find the monkey has gone crazy. Sometime later, James Hildern and Karl go to Emmanuel's house and Karl kills Waterlow while escaping with the specimen.
