My dad tells me that when I was about 3, I'd babble about Packestine. Funny. I don't remember ebber seeing a Packestine moobie until I was in
Kindie-garden. But now, thanks to the wonderful wizardry of John Goodwin:

But are you really green?
Why was this done, Ted? And are they talking about it over in the "Who played the Monster?" thread? |

It looks wonderful. If only your neck was a bit thicker. |

John Goodwin is doing a series of "how-to" videos, and he said I had the right sort of face for a great awful monster... The wide angle lens distorts
the image... yeah, would that I had a thicker neck...

First time I've ever seen a make-up artist apply make-up in a coat and tie.

That must have been great experience, Ted. I'm sure most of us have imagined what it would be like to have that makeup professionally applied to our own
mugs. No offense, but those bottom three photos really do resemble how I'd image John Carradine might have looked in that makeup.
This could lead to another thread: What classic Pierce Universal Monster makeup (cotton, collodion, grease paint, Fuller's Earth, and all!) would you like to have applied to you? I think I'd go for the Imhotep, to get the full excruciating experience.
If you're an Andy Milligan fan there's no hope for you.

Roughly how long did that job take, Ted?

It actually didn't take long. John did a cast of my head about three weeks ago; he'd done my face before, for a Phantom of the Opera, which was equally
cool. So, all the pieces were prepped, but not finely cut: the head, the eyelids, etc. I think there was a jaw scar; I can;t even remember now, it's been
so long (this morning). We didn't get started until 10:30, and at the last minute I told him I had to meet Brinke and Harryhausen at two, so I had to be
absolutely out of make-up by no later than 1:15. He was done at 1:10... so... just about 2.5 hours.
No offense taken, FoD. It's the eyebags that do it, I'd say. |

That's really cool, Ted-- thanks for posting the pics.
I've always wanted to have that makeup applied to me. So glad you got the chance, Packestine!

I haven't seen anything this disturbing since the Franken-midget in the A&C MEET FRANK gag shots. Mods, lock this thread!!
When he was teaching a makeup class at some college, Michael Blake once put a bit of old-age makeup on me -- just under one eye, 1/1000th of the above. And I found out from that teensy bit of experience that I wouldn't want to have to sit in a makeup chair any longer than I did that night. Hoping not to sound like a baby, some of the makeup stuff really smells -- the glue, I guess -- and the fumes also started to bother my eyes. Pass!! |

Tumescent one: He was done by 1:10, and I was out the door by 1:25, picked up my partner at 1:31, and was at our destination by 1:46. Your milage may vary.
Couple years ago, John was hired to do a special make-up for a magazine ad, for some computer company. The gag they wanted to do didn't make any sense to
me: for some reason, they wanted the Phantom of the Opera to be holding a computer print-out, looking baffled. They originally thought they'd just comp it
un Photoshop with an old still, but somebody got cold feet about being sued by Universal, or the Chaney estate, or whatever. Made no sense to me, or John, for
that matter. Again, I was just the dummy. But it gave him a chance to haul out his old Erik cast from the Universal Studio Tour, and use it on me. All he had
to do was an impression of my face, which was then combined with the recreation of Lon Chaney's face-- presto. It was a tight, form-fitting total over the
head appliance, nothing left of me but my eyes (and hands):

Pretty cool, Ted - as FoD says, a bit Carradineian!
"I'm sure most of us have imagined what it would be like to have that makeup professionally applied to our own mugs" Well, I bain turned into Lucifer by ol' Michael Thomas - but that's another story... Best, -Craig W. |

Greater than Westmore, better than Cagney! The perfect pose! And please tell me he made up your hands too!!
I hope they sold a lot of computer printouts (wtf -- I don't get the concept either ......) |
