Picture of Lugosi Frankenstein test found!

[The Drunken Severed Head]

Bela Lugosi, star of the 1931 film DRACULA and a hot new star at Universal studios following the release of that film, was to play the part of the Monster in Universal's FRANKENSTEIN. He was even in some preliminary footage made for the studio.

How he appeared no one living today knows for sure. No footage or pictures have ever turned up. UNTIL NOW! The Drunken Severed Head has uncovered a photo of Lugosi during his FRANKENSTEIN makeup test, and you can see this amazing artifact of Frankenstein history by clicking here:

   My dear Maxo: As me friends in Australia say "Go ahead, pull the other one--its got bells on."


   "Meek"(what kind of O'Toole am I?)

Meek, did you ever read about one of the many letters Groucho Marx sent to Dick Cavett? He had a PS attached:

"Have you ever noticed Peter O'Toole has a double phallic name?"

[The Drunken Severed Head]

I unearth a piece of cinema history and I get sneers and irrelevant phallic double entendres. (She said "bells", not "balls", Mike!) Humph!

I'd quit this group if I didn't know it would cheer everyone up! 

[The Phantom Creep]

Years ago on Dennis Miller's late night show Dick Cavett was asked if there was anything else he would like to say before the show was over. He thought about it and said "Did you ever notice that if you rearrange the letters in Spiro Agnew they spell Grow a Penis?". One of the funniest things I've ever heard on tv. I love Dick Cavett.

Dear UMA FANG-MILY,
... I sent this in, to RON ADAMS' monsterbash yahoo-group, in reply to his 4/1 'Revelation'... It hasn't seen print on that message board, so, I thought I'd share it, here.
EXANIMO EVERNOW,
TIMMY & THE BARON, B.G.G.

Dear RON,
... And, to corner the market, I'm buying up 20,000,000 copies, which I shall gladly distribute, sans cost, to any MONSTER-KID, who wishes one!
... CARLYLE, my Wizard Friend, mentioned that he'd discerned the possibility, that, the lost LAM, was looming out, in the Mystic Ethers... why he spends so much time breathing ether, I'll never know!
... My check will arrive, by yesterday's mail, and, chain-mail, at that, more, than enough, to cover the processing of this entire first run.
... I hear, too, that, as a marketing ploy, they've re-named the film, "THE SILENCE OF THE LAM", in honour of the Soundtrack, written, by LON CHANEY SR.'S {then} very young henchman, a Frenchman, named MARCEL MARCEAU!
... I'm going to use the Exalted Ceremonial Form of Conveyance, to fly to Pittsburgh, to pick up my initial copy, the Gold-Plated Master Reel, of which we've spoken, in private!
... I'm heading out to the CASTLE Von WOLFSTEIN Stables, to saddle up my FLYING PIG, BESSIE, for the journey right now! Upon my return, we shall celebrate with a PIG-ROAST! {I dib the WINGS!}
... Again, KONG-ratulations, upon your brilliant stroke, of marketing;
your grand coupe,
your wise choice,
your fadder's moustache,
your mother's Army Boots
... and, A PARTRIDGE FAMILY IN A PEAR TREE!
EXANIMO EVERNOW,
BARON TIMOTHEUS & FRIENDS, B.G.G.

with some LAMe April Fool's Joke!
