I usually am not too keen on the recurrence of Hallowe'en, for one reason or the other -- but it is at least one more excuse to watch a Monster Movie or two.
And you are reading Monster Legacy, right? You are here for the cool pictures, right?
Let's see five neat production stills...
Recognize it? It is the mid-transformation Werewolf puppet created by Cinovation Studios -- headed by Rick Baker -- back in 1981 for
An American Werewolf in London.
One of the full-sized animatronic creatures by Steve Johnson FX for
Ghostbusters (I think this is good old Vinz Clortho).
The Distorted Rabbit Monster from
Twilight Zone: The Movie, created by none other than Rob Bottin!
The spectacular make-up on Gary Oldman by Greg Cannom for
Bram Stoker's Dracula. According to one of the FX men, Gary Oldman really sold the make-up with all his stomping around.
And our last bugger is the Gillman from
Monster Squad, created as a suit worn by Tom Woodruff Jr. (still his favourite character he has ever played!) by Stan Winston Studios.
