Son of Frankenstein (1939)

| Paul Greer

Recorded this film off the telly on ye olde VHS when I was a child, and it was one of the films, (along with the Terror of Mechagodzilla)that I watched over and over again. Bela plays Ygor, who’s neck was broken in the Noose at the end of “Bride”. I remember the sound it made when he tapped it, to let you know it was actually broken and he was actually still alive.

The Berlin Reunion

Link | | Paul Greer

“Earlier this week, 1.5 million people filled the streets of Berlin, Germany to watch a several-day performance by France’s Royal de Luxe street theatre company titled “The Berlin Reunion“. Part of the celebrations of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Reunion show featured two massive marionettes, the Big Giant, a deep-sea diver, and his niece, the Little Giantess. The storyline of the performance has the two separated by a wall, thrown up by “land and sea monsters”. The Big Giant has just returned from a long and difficult – but successful – expedition to destroy the wall, and now the two are walking the streets of Berlin, seeking each other after many years apart. I’ll let the photos below tell the rest of the story.“
