Hello peoples! It is time for the showing of the mash-ups! This week we start a spooooooky Hallowe’en theme!
I kinda sorta remember reading Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. I’ve never seen any of the movies based on the book. The story and the classic movie’s visuals have infiltrated the culture. If you say the name Frankenstein, most people immediately think of the monster Boris Karloff played on the screen. Even though Frankenstein is the doctor’s name. His creation is just the monster. The lab assistant, commonly named Igor, wasn’t in the original book. He was a later addition in stage and movie adaptations.
So here we have the trio of Dr. Frankenstein, his lab assistant, Igor, and the monster, played by Cyran, Skitter and Barnaby respectively. Barnaby was a natural fit to play the monster, though I suppose it could have been humorous to switch Barnaby and Skitter’s roles. I haven’t mentioned it in a while, but you can click on the pictures to see closeups.
Here are some closer looks to the individual pieces, starting with Cyran as Dr. Frankenstein. I really dig this one. And I feel the electricity effect came out well.
Skitter as Igor. The costume is based on the costume Marty Feldman work in Young Frankenstein.
And Barnaby as the monster. The green tinge on the fur worked out FAIRLY well. It was something I wanted to try.
That’s all for this week. More spooky fun next Wednesday!
