Monster makeovers

Tuesday, September 1, 2009

A while back we took a depressing look at the sorry fate of Labyrinth's Hoggle puppet, finding his decomposing, foam rubber corpse on display at Alabama's Unclaimed Baggage Center. Well, I'm happy to report that the fates have been a lot more kind to some of the other latex icons of our childhoods. The folks at Tom Spina Designs have posted a gallery of their impressive movie prop restorations, featuring before and after shots of complete refurbishments of everybody from the Monster from Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein to the werewolf from An American Werewolf in London to Hoggle's Labyrinth co-star, Sir Didymus. Nice to see Didymus battle-ready again!

These folks put a lot of hard work into making old monsters pretty again. Check out their gallery of the American Werewolf job.

"Science fiction plucks from within us our deepest fears and hopes, then shows them to us in rough disguise: the monster and the rocket." - W.H. Auden

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
