The Wolfman... OT of course!!!

[G.I.Jim]

How many of you watched the original "Wolfman" when you were kids? I remember being scared as hell watching "Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman". They are doing a remake of the original movie that Lon Chaney starred in. From the looks of this trailer, they've done a very good job remaking the film. The only thing that seems out of place to me are the transformation sections... it just looks too fake to me. I'm still SERIOUSLY pumped for this movie, but I hope they spend some time tweaking those animations!

Check out this up-close shot of him... he looks a LOT like Chaney's version!

[G.I.Jim]

I'm having a conversation with myself here, but.. HUH? Who said that? Anyway, I'm about to argue with myself too... Here's a picture of Chaney's version, and they don't look much alike at all! It's amazing what YEARS can do to your mind. I hadn't seen him since I was a kid.

Anyway, here's Chaney's version...

This doesn't fit in at all with what you've posted Jim, but I just realized that "OT" could also stand for "on topic".

Time for me to get some rest!

[Blueskies]

but you seemed so normal on the phone, Jim. .....

I liked this one...





....which was remade into this one.



But...




...nothing beats this one.


Celtic Werewolves FTW!

The Wolfman didn't scare me....Vincent Price, he scared me!!

Well yes it is actually hehe, but I like to be called Vladan, although people insist on calling me Vlad all the time... it's OK I don't bite though

Thanks for the heads up Jim. This new Wolfman looks like fun. I'll definitely go see it.

I loved those old monster movies. Those were the ones they'd show on TV late on a Saturday night. The movie host would be dressed up like a vampire and they'd show all the old classics. Vincent Price was also my favorite, but I especially liked the Hammer Dracula films starring Christopher Lee. He scared the crap out of me as a young child.




I'm currently reading the Frankinstein Trilogy by Dean Koontz. Great modern twist on an old story. I'd love it if they made that series into movies.

[StevePerryHair]

I was always scared of vampires, not werewolves. I remember as a young teen sleeping with my sheets up to my neck My dad had me watching too many of the old monster/horror movies as a kid I guess

I used to LOVE this show that came on on Saturday nights called "Shock Theater". They played all the old classics. I remember being scared to DEATH by a couple of movies on there. One was "Scream and Scream Again", which is a really retarded movie after seeing it now. The other one was "Salem's Lot". That scene with that kid's brother floating outside his window terrified me! I was also scared when he went down into the cellar to find Dracula and kill him. VERY scary to a kid. I loved it though.

For a good scare, You can't go wrong with Stephen King.

I never got into Wolfman, I mostly watched Porn, Big Valley,and Startreck

Thanks for posting. I've been reading up on this movie for a while now...very stoked about it! Rick Baker did the special effects and make-up. He decided to go traditional style instead of CGI, which is why the transformations look old school (American Werewolf in London, Thriller). They are doing some re-edits now, so it should be tweaked a bit. Personally, I think it's the better choice. CGI effects seem to take away from the storylines, especially when they try to remake a classic movie.

The make-up is real, but the transformations are CGI. His pupils dialating, and his fingers bending, are all CGI. I hope they get it looking a little more real before the release... I do think the make-up looks awesome though! I can't imagine what he had to go through to get that shit applied every day on the set.

Yeah, I've got no problem with CGI transformation. I like the idea of a real person playing the monster, though. Believe it or not, the make-up application isn't even half as involved as it was back in the 30's and 40's, before the use of latex masks. If you get a chance, read up on Jack Pierce, the original make-up artist for the Universal monster movies. He put those actors through hell with his techniques.

Have you ever seen the movie Man of A Thousand Faces about Lon Chaney Sr? It was truly remarkable all the make-up and special equipment he devised to play his characters. Some of which were extremely painful. Just an interesting sidenote. Gene Simmons from Kiss wrote a song inspired by Chaney called Man of 1000 Faces for his first solo album.

Here is a nice Lon Chaney Sr. tribute video:

"I saw a werewolf drinkin' a pina colada at Trader Vic's
And his hair was perfect."

Love that song. LOVE the old classics too- Vincent Price always got me too. I liked the bizarre stories of Alfred Hitchcock too.

I liked those as a kid, but my favorite has always been Twilight Zone. I've seen every single episode more times than I can count!

Benicio Del Toro rocks, great actor!

On another note, recently read Jonny Depp and Tim Burton are going to be doing a remake of "Dark Shadows" with Depp playing Barnaby (whatever his name is).
