Monsters From An Unknown Planet – Titles (1976)
Son of Frankenstein (1939)
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.

“As soon as you put things in words, no one ever sees the film the same way. And that’s what I hate, you know. Talking — it’s real dangerous.”

I’m not really …
“I’m not really sure what to make of Paul’s animated experiments but there is something hypnotic and mesmerizing about these snippets of life. It’s like dipping a toe in somebody else’s sensorial experience, vaguely voyeuristic without the seedy Big Brother connotations. Which is a good thing, because somehow I doubt an animator’s lifestyle could compete with the glossy glamour of watching a Z-list celebrity painting their toenails.”

This was a project that was very long in the making. It began as very heavily storyboarded drawn piece based on a poem and the piece of music I had.
It slowly degenerated into the above.
Made in Maya.
So recently I submitted it to a few festivals with the following synopsis:
“God’s taps gleamed far above, like Chomolungma’s peak, but they leaked . The Devil’s toad sat by the death plug unable to progress beyond early meiotic division. Although distressed by Charons pet nymphs, it gained succour from the drip and stole time before new washers arrived.
Short psychedelic whimsey.”
