Ted, who was the creature hauling out of the water? Assume that wasn't Julie.

I recently saw Metallica and Kirk had a Lugosi White Zombie and a Karloff Mummy guitar.

They looked incredible.

I would imagine he has some of the original poster art as well....

Universal stuff is through the roof. I had a chance years ago when I was collecting posters to get some of the realart stuff (50's re-releases), but passed, and that stuff is up there now.

I do have a title lobby card of the third creature movie, and an original lobby card of the 40's version of phantom of the opera. That's as near the Universal stuff as I was able to get.

Speaking of Universal, getting my annual fix on.

The Wolf Man
Frankenstein vs. The Wolf Man
House of Frankenstein

House of Dracula is next

HOF is interesting, Karloff actually plays the "evil" doctor and he and he Monster get buried in quicksand at the end. I find even these later "monster mashes" to be pretty good. Glen Strange wasn't too bad and Chaney always delivered when he played Talbot.

Don't tell me that Kong and Forbidden Planet are original first runs.....

Even then it's worth a mother load. All those films represent a lost film art from back in the day. I even love The Man from Planet X at the bottom...great little film.

Yeah, it was pretty good, but I think they might have gone a bit too far in the animation. But the clothes, lighting, and production all are spot on and took a lot of time to do.

Kong is just a great film, the multi level pane glasses used, the production, the effects...everything worked on that film.

Ted's collection of title cards is probably valued at what Roger Corman's budgets were back in the day.

By the way Rdoyle, just watched your avatar. What a great film that is. I never realized how short it is. Say what you want about Chaney, but he makes that film.

Ted

What do you know of Dwight Frye? What did you hear about it? I always wondered if there was a backstory somewhere, hence the Alice Cooper song.

Also - did any of the old timers talk about Clive? There isn't much about him either, but what there is, sounds like he was pretty brutal.

Cool - thanks.

What about Colin Clive?

Of course. Just thought Ted might have had a chance to talk to some people throughout his career who knew him or of him.

Depressed to hear this. I am not ashamed to say she looks absolutely beautiful in that film. i know there is a double in the water, but she shines throughout.

All of the recent Universals have been shite. At least Frazier's Mummy was halfway entertaining.

That last Mummy film was horrible.
