Portrait of Barnabas Collins, originally uploaded by TCM Hitchhiker.

This is my first (maybe only) attempt at re-creating the portrait of Barnabas Collins that hangs in the Collinwood foyer in the 60's show Dark Shadows. This was originally intended to be used in my Victim of Collinwood shot I took during my Monster Month 2009 project. It was to to hang in the background, however I wasn't able to score an in scale "dollhouse" ornate picture frame in time. This may still happen, as I am sure more Dark Shadows shoots will rise in the future.

The background used is an actual canvas that I painted, to help give it the feel of an actual painting. I am a better photographer, than painter....

Funstuf Frankenstein, originally uploaded by TCM Hitchhiker.

Frankenstein, Ani-Forms toy by Funstuf, 1978

Features: Frankenstein is loaded with features. He has a small slit in his mouth which opens when you squeeze his cheeks. You then push his arms down which releases the air in his body. Let go of his cheeks, the slit closes, and he stays compressed. You then fasten him to the lab table with the Velcro straps. He comes with a pump that is attached to a hose, which attaches to his back. Squeeze the pump, it fills him with air, and he bursts out of his straps.

His laboratory table has it's own awesome feature. When you turn the crank, it spins wheels on each side of the table, which hold lighter flints. These rub against sandpaper discs, causing massive sparks. The table also moves up and down.

Add to all that, Frank also glows-in-the-dark!

This is easily one of the greatest Frankenstein toys ever made. They sure don't make toys like the used to!

This doll is haunted!

When you squeeze his chest, the Halloween theme plays. I bought this for my brother years ago, and a couple years ago or so he gave it back when he was moving. He told me that it would just go off at times for no reason and freak him out. It is true, he has done it a few times since I have had him. It IS pretty creepy, but that's just the way I like it.

If you have never seen the film Dog Soldiers, I can't recommend it enough. One hell of a werewolf film.
