Halloween Paintings and Hollywood Monsters

10/11/2016

Do you remember the good old days when scary movies were in black and white or poor color or even more interesting, they were in colorized form? They featured vampires and werewolves. They depicted the monster that Dr. Frankenstein created. They were the creatures of myth and legend and nightmares. They did not need all the gory details to be scary. Just the arrival of the beast on the scene sent shivers down our spines. Hollywood draped sets in spider webs and creepy houses. They built graveyards and castles. They introduced us to the adorable horribles. 

The first black and white vampire movie was  F. W. Murnau's Nosferatu (1922) and it featured our beloved Lon Chaney. Chaney went on to play many other roles in the early horror movie genre. Vampires evolved into the smooth styling of Dracula played by Bela Lugosi and fun werewolf children such as Eddie Munster as seen in the 1964 television series The Munsters.

​Frankenstein was a fabulous monster movie. It depicted a soulless creature that was a combination of salvaged body parts assembled by a mad, but brilliant scientist. It brought raving fans to the theater accompanied by screams of fright. The follow-up tale The Bride of Frankenstein carried on the tradition of Dr. Frankenstein's medicine and introduced us to Elsa Lancaster as the Bride.

​Witches have been frightening creatures over the ages. In folklore, they are awful beings known to bewitch and eat small children. One of the worst of and the best of these odd icons are part of the fantastic tale, The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. The Hollywood film adaptation of the book was released in 1939 and is still a family and fan favorite. 

This year, my art has a few featured characters dedicated to these beloved villains and stars. Eventually, they will end up in pencil sketch and on canvas, but for now, they are in my photo gallery and digital portfolio. May I introduce to you the line up of players for the 2016 Halloween season.​

((I had to change the spelling on my characters. There is a cartoon artist that has a
​collection of artwork named for the correct spelling.)
