I'm just enjoying hot tea and Frankenstein.
The UK Horror Chanel are running an day afternoon marathon of the five classic Universal monster films.
Its started at 1pm with Dracula, which I missed because we had a visitor.
Frankenstein is on now and during the break I've found this short film about the amazing electrodes used in the film. They were biult by one Ken Strickfadern of the USA.
Amazingly Ken's electrodes and sounds were later re-recorded and used in films like Star Wars, Brainstorm and Raiders of the Lost Ark!
I wonder if Century 21's Derek Meddings ever considered using them?
Have you ever made an electrode or its sound?
They were also used in Mel Brook's Young Frankenstein.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kid, makes sense. What an amazing set of props. I think they were sold a few years back.
