The acromegalia guy who dies in the desert (pre-credits sequence); one minute later, AFTER the credits, he's the guy at the airport who greets John Agar as Agar gets out of the Cessna ("When we goin' fishin', doc?"); and a few minutes later, he's the acromegalia guy in Deemer's lab.

Jun 17 08 11:43 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Anyone else notice that during the transformation scene in A&C Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Karloff, at one point looks like JERRY STILLER? I swear there's an instant where they are twins... Bill Schafer

Jun 18 08 11:51 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Thanks, RAKSHASA, ... The Great Age of Foam Appliances was born! Ushered in, with A&C MEET FRANKENSTEIN, with MR. HYDE a close second. ... MONSTER ON THE CAMPUS was really a fore-runner, of the WOLF-SNOUTED WEREWOLF BRANCH, Of THE LYCANTHROPE FANG-MILY, wasn't he?! The checkered shirt doesn't do much to aid his cause, though... slight, yet, obvious 'blemish', to the left nostril, lessens the effect, too. EXANIMO EVERNOW, TIMMY & THE BARON & FRIENDS, B.G.G.

Jun 23 08 10:46 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Dear Brothers, HAL & RAKSHASA, ... Exquisite! THANK You! I'd not seen these fetching photos, of BORIS, as HYDE, slipping into 'make-up', before! ... And, judging by THE WOLF-MAN canines, it was a test make-up, before the final version, was ironed-out, and, given the final OK, by Universal. Marvelous! EXANIMO EVERNOW, TIMMY & THE BARON, B.G.G.

I should think so too: The big pointy bottom teeth (or lack of same) point toward the difference. Thanks to ImageShack for Free Image Hosting Last Edited By: HalLane Jun 24 08 8:08 AM.

Jun 24 08 1:00 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Then, of course, there's this crazy flipside to the "mask" equation: Note that the "Karloff" Hyde retains the moustache, while the "Parker" Hyde doesn't. Last Edited By: HalLane Jun 24 08 1:03 PM. Edited 1 times.

My theory, anyway. (And looking at that custom fit "Metaluna forehead" on the lab/Parker, I really have to wonder if he might not have filled in for one o' them as well!)

Jun 26 08 9:17 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Hal, I've seen that sequence set many times; first time I have wondered if maybe - just maybe - Parker is actually in the SECOND to last pic? Uni playing cute? (Eyes, shape of head, etc.) Best, -Craig W.

Jun 26 08 10:30 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Craig, looking at those photos after I'd posted them, I thought the very same thing! The eyes do resemble the acromegaly pics above, don't they? (And as we can see, the Karloff 'eye bags' are sculpted right into the appliance.)

Jun 27 08 1:58 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Funny you should mention Stiller. Just today I watched NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM and kept saying to myself that Stiller might make a good Frankenstein Monster. Photoshop, anybody?
