In the second Swamp Thing Annual, modelled on Dante's Inferno, Swamp Thing followed Abigail, encountering classic DC characters such as Deadman, The Spectre, Etrigan, and The Phantom Stranger en route, and eventually rescued her.

The filmmakers, however, were confident (as was DC, Swamp Thing's comic home) and lunchboxes, trading cards and Underoos® were all available in anticipation of the box office blockbuster.
SWAMP THING – THE MOVIE disappeared faster than you can say "commercial disaster," and no one ever expected him to be heard from again (cinematically, that is).
Soon entering the picture is Arcane's stepdaughter Abigail (Heather Locklear) who goes down to swamp country in order to confront him with her ill-feelings.

 SWAMP THING movie in the works - @forums
There has already been two Swamp Thing movies made: Wes Craven directed the first Swamp Thing back in 1982, followed by a more comedic, tongue-in-cheek sequel titled Return of the Swamp Thing in 1989.
Both had little to do with the source material, making the Swamp Thing more of a one-dimensional superhero and dispensing with the character's complicated origin and colorful origins.
As well, much of the comic's emphasis on horror was lost in the translation to celluloid, opting instead for action, explosions and, to the horror of fans of the real Swamp Thing, a romance with Heather Locklear.

 Swamp Thing (1982) - PK's Comic Book Movie Reviews
The one thing that brings the movie up to date (besides a completely gratuitous peek-a-boob) is that the heroine, played by Adrienne Barbeau, puts up a decent fight before needing to be rescued.
The worst thing about the movie, to me, is how badly it's photographed.
Nine scenes out of ten seem to have a few corners of bright glare or sky in the shot, while all the rest is so dark and murky you end up turning up your TV's brightness until everything is gray, to be able to see what's going on.

That chick from "T.J. Hooker", Heather Lockheed or whatever, goes to visit her stepdad, but he's a mad scientist who wants to live forever by doing some fucked-up thing or another to her, which I didn't quite catch because I was distracted by her legs.
Nice thigh-highs.) Swamp Thing hates the mad scientist anyway, so when shit starts to go down he creeps in, busts some heads, and saves her.
This movie fucks up a lot like that- like there's a smokin' redhead who almost gets some action, but they never follow through so we don't get to see her tits, plus there's this super annoying little fat fuck of a kid I wanted to see get tortured to death or something but he survives.
