WHEN I WAS ASKED TO CREATE A MONTAGE’ OF THE FIRST MONSTER FILMS OF UNIVERSAL STUDIOS I WAS RELUCTANT. COULD I DO THEM JUSTICE, WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT. BRING

THEM TO LIFE, SO TO SPEAK. BUT AS I MOVED THROUGH THE PROCESS I STARTED SEEING STRANGE CONNECTIONS TO

QUESTIONS ALL FILMMAKERS ASK; WHAT DO I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT LIFE AND HOW CAN I PRESENT MY IDEA OF

WHAT I THINK IT IS ABOUT? SO, BEGAN MY JOURNEY AROUND THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE MIND OF A FILMMAKER. QUESTIONING, EVER QUESTIONING???

(MY FIRST OBSERVANCE IS THE WORD QUESTIONING HAS THE WORD ‘QUEST’ BUILT INTO IT. WHAT COULD THAT

MEAN? AAAHHHH!!!!!!)

The light on his eyes are not centered directly into them. Why? Is it because the actor would be blinded or was it for effect; to appear glowing but still sinister?

Makeup would take care of that now. I am not sure why I picked this combo.

Dracula The Legacy Collection (Dracula / Dracula (1931 Spanish Version) Dracula's Daughter Son of Dracula House of Dracula)Starring Onslow Stevens, John

Carradine, Lon Chaney Jr., and more (2004)

This one seems out of place. Have we viewed this one for plot? Does it match the others in the collection? What do we want

to say about this one?

I’m not sure if I like the background on this one. The pictures are blurring. Can’t we choose another? What about the font, it

seems a little boring? Classic Monsters S

Editing will have to take care of the bullets and the white

on the edges of the picture. Maybe change some colors

and refine the picture. And get more dreadful colors.

What are we creating here? Another Frankenstein? Or

Frankensteen?

Ok, what are we going to do with the Bride of Frankenstein clips? We loved the sequel

from Frankenstein. The pictures are great of both the monster and the bride. I think it might be a great idea we plug the actors for both these roles; they were great. The

makeup and hair took a lot of time to perfect for the lighting and camera angles.

What about the plot of the movies? Man plays God to create man and then woman,

sort of an Adam and Eve theme. And why is everyone referring to the monsters as

Frankenstein, when the cast listing only says monster? These movies would be

wonderful learning to tools for an academic course; philosophy, popular media,

theology, or maybe even E-Literature. Darn it! I ran out of money…(damn it) What the bleep? Those darn censors, I never know

what to say if I want a rating that is sellable. But, maybe go with what the

public wants and I could make a ‘mint’! Maybe then I will have the answer to the

question: What’s the purpose of life?One last thing, what is with the world turning

in the wrong direction at‘The End”?

Are you nuts! We can’t end like that. And the world is not turning in the wrong direction, it is just an optical

illusion in your brain due to too much, much. Don’t forget the credits.
