We’re up to our second to last post for the Halloween season! Today it’s all about Dracula. Well, Francis Ford Coppola’s film version of the novel. Actually, it’s really the effects team and designer’s interpretation of Dracula filtered through Morris Studios sculptors work. Yeah, that’s the ticket…
This ad comes from issue #130 of Fangoria from 1994 and features 4 of the more gruesome and creepy iterations of Oldman’s Dracula character from the ’92 film. Though Keanu Reeves is horribly miscast in the flick, it still holds up for its amazing in-camera effects work. Seriously, go back and watch the film. All those effects are in-freaking-camera. That’s some pretty crazy Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind stuff going on in a Coppola film. Bananas!
Anyway, come back tomorrow for more mask tomfoolery, and if you’re looking for a ton of Halloween content all through the month of October, make sure to stop on by the official Countdown to Halloween site and check out the list of participating blogs for 2011. You’ll be glad you did!
