Day 08: Young Frankenstein (1974) - 31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2022

31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2022
Young Frankenstein (1974)

Young Frankenstein is the Doctor, the Young Monster is actually... Oh, wait, never mind, I did that joke already.  While not a Horror movie, per se, it is a parody done with such care and attention to details, that they used the actual props from the original James Whale movie of "Frankenstein" (1932).  It is a great comedy with so many great lines.  In our office, I used to call out "Puddin' on da ritz!" to a couple co-workers in the know, followed by "Soooper-duperrrr!"  Also, Marty Feldman as Igor (pronounced "Eyegore") was awesome, with the response to where he got the brain for the monster: "Abby... Someone".

Slight tangent: I generally like parody songs (and movies, comics, books, etc.).  There is a parody of the Kim Carnes song "She's got Bette Davis Eyes" by Bruce "Baby Man" Baum, "She's Got Marty Feldman Eyes".  It was a regular rotation on "Dr. Demento" back in the day (a syndicated radio show which played all manner of novelty songs, and strange ephemera) and I was delighted to hear it every single time!  Give it a listen, won't you?  😁

Great stuff!

STEP TWO:  And here's the first with a digital brush in Clip Studio Paint called "Wet Chet". It's sort of a cross between a gouache and charcoal brush.

STEP THREE:  And here's the finished digital painting.
