As promised, I will take a look at Wolves and Werewolves in the concluding chapter for this year. And I will be doing my lame quasi-Bela Lugosi and Maria Ouspenskaya impressions. We ll have songs expected, and some perhaps surprising, regarding our topic. For your further enjoyment, here are some interesting facts about Monster Movies: Boris Karloff, who starred as Frankenstein, had to wear 22- pound size 24 boots. He also donned two pairs of pants with steel struts shoved in them, and a double-thickness quilted suit. Karloff s facial makeup was one-sixteenth of an inch thick, and the bolts on the side of his neck left long-term scars. Bette Davis wanted the part of Mrs. Frankenstein, but was turned down because she was too aggressive. Among the lighting tricks in the classic film Dracula: Twin pencil-spotlights were shined in Bela Lugosi s eyes to give Count Dracula his legendary hypnotic stare. The Castle Dracula and Carfax Abbey sets were so expensive to build that Universal Pictures kept and reused them. You can spot them in numerous Universal films of the 30s. In Boris Karloff s second big monster flick The Mummy, he had to be wrapped every day in linen and gauze, and was covered with mud. Lou Chaney, Jr. s werewolf makeup in The Wolf Man took five hours to apply every day. The werewolf costume was actually made of yak hair. Enjoy the show. Happy Halloween Everyone! Mike

Why recast the relatively small role of a doctor in a thriller? Michael Mann's Manhunter was an excellent thriller, featuring Brian Cox in a small role as the imprisoned, chillingly cold cannibal Dr. Hannibal Lecktor. When the time came to adapt another one of Thomas Harris' bestsellers, Jonathan Demme went in a different direction, casting Anthony Hopkins as the good doctor. The character's family name was restored (Lecter, not Lecktor) and a whole new set of tics and tricks were placed on display. Hopkins may have been the only actor alive who could have hammed it up to such extreme levels and yet, somehow, made Lector creepy rather than campy, unnerving rather than unbelievable. For his memorable efforts in The Silence of the Lambs, Hopkins won an Academy Award. Recasting villains is a tricky business. Everyone needs to love, identify with, and cheer the hero or heroine, but if the villain doesn't provide the requisite level of opposition, the picture runs the risk of becoming unbalanced, leaving a gaping hole that cannot be filled in with special effects. And if an actor has established the character in the public's mind, it's difficult for anyone else to measure up. So Dylan Walsh has an advantage in The Stepfather, which opens tomorrow. Terry O'Quinn originated the title role in the 1987 original, and was a truly memorable monster. Yet the film is not steeped in the public consciousness to a high degree, and O'Quinn has become much better known from playing John Locke in Lost. Walsh's fame, such as it is, comes from the lesser-seen TV series Nip/Tuck. Walsh has a shot of creating his own distinct brand of villain.Filed under: Drama, Horror, Critical Thought, FandomContinue reading Villains: The Highs and Lows of Recasting Permalink | Email this | Comments

This Weeks Movie: The Ghoul Crazy, and rich, Egyptologist, Prof. Morant, comes back from the dead to retake possession of the Eternal Light. Hilarity ensues. The Ghoul is hosted by Justy Ueki because it's one of his queer fancies.

A pretty Chinese woman, seeking help from San Francisco detective James Lee Wong, is killed by a poisoned dart in his front hall, having time only to scrawl "Captain J" on a sheet of paper. She proves to be Princess Lin Hwa, on a secret military mission for Chinese forces fighting the Japanese invasion. Mr. Wong finds two captains with the intial J in the case, neither being quite what he seems; there's fog on the waterfront and someone still has that poison-dart gun.
