#Jeffrey Combs imagine

[weyounthevorta]

My imagination said if Dinosaur Bob can torment Billy in a tattoo parlor with a tattoo gun, imagine how creative he could get in a hair salon.

I just finished this tonight, I can’t wait to varnish and frame it!

[rippleberries]

Gonna be real with you, I think my life peaked the moment I got a full-body hug from Jeffrey Combs in a sweaty tuxedo.

It’s all downhill from there, cats and kittens.

#jeffrey combs #yes it was just as magical as you can imagine #except I was also panicking

[scoobitydoobity]

I find it super funny that Jeffrey Combs plays H.P. Hatecraft in Mystery Incorporated. Like, the character looks like somebody he would voice but the first time I heard it I didn't even realize it was him.

If you need a laugh, I suggest watching the two episodes with him specifically.

The episode names are, "The Shrieking Madness" and "Pawn of Shadows."

[The Frighteners: Special Agent Dammers]

Peter Jackson:

He proceeded to do a really, you know, great audition. We put him through the hoops. I remember he wanted to audition with his glasses on. He had an idea that this character wore glasses. And I couldn't imagine Dammers in glasses, so I asked him to take his glasses off after the first take.

Jeffrey Combs:

Now, you have to imagine, I'm blind. I can't see. I've got pages. Fortunately, I had it memorised, but I always have that crutch, and I, So I had to basically take my glasses off and act with Michael J. Fox as a blur before me. It was pretty weird. I have a blurry memory of what the audition was like.

(2/8)

I like imagine a world where all of the Jeffrey Combs characters are coworkers at a retail store, like a dollar tree or something small like that. like one is the store manager, one is an assistant manager, some key holders, and of course some sales associates. Maybe a few that don't work there but are regulars, fuck it

The Wilkins Boys

Twins James and Robert Wilkins were born in Houston Texas on September 9, 1954 to parents Irene and George Wilkins (deceased). Known to their associates as Jimmy Wilkins and Dinosaur Bob, both had their lives tragically cut short before the age of 40.

Jimmy died, age 36, by several gunshot wounds to the chest sustained while resisting arrest on the day of his birthday, September 9, 1991. He was survived by his long time girlfriend, who perished a few short days later.

Bob died, age 39, by gunshot wound to the abdomen sustained during an armed home invasion, August 4, 1994. He was survived by his pet iguana Mister Mango, who was retrieved by law enforcement during a routine search of his residence and turned over to a local animal rescue.

Imagine Weyoun looking at you like this …

You were tending to other matters when you could sense Weyoun’s gaze on you. He was watching you in adoration and you felt yourself blushing.

[roguetelepaths]

In the Pale Moonlight is a great episode but I've been thinking way too deeply about it since I rewatched it the other day and it's genuinely driving me insane. Like what do you MEAN Sisko and Garak had to create fake evidence and fucking murder a guy in order to get the Romulans to distrust the Dominion enough to join the war against them. They're ROMULANS. Getting them to distrust someone ISN'T HARD. What the FUCK was going on behind the scenes that the Romulans and the Dominion were so ride or die, because I don't imagine that's easy to achieve, knowing how paranoid and slow to trust BOTH parties in that alliance are

Also, not to be a Dominion keyboard warrior on main (y'all know I am though) but knowing how the writers felt about the Dominion— looking at you, Ira Behr, with your tHe BaD gUyS hAvE tO sTaY tHe BaD gUyS comments to Jeffrey Combs— but I have to wonder what the writers' game was in creating an episode with the premise of, essentially, "oops! The Dominion is too nice and honorable to their allies! Time to frame them for a bunch of shit they didn't do because that's the only way to break this alliance!"

I'm inclined to believe they just didn't think about it at all, lmao. That seems the most likely answer

BLOGTOBER 10/24/2023: DREAM DEMON (1988)

This is one of those movies I really deeply enjoyed, but if you asked me what it was about you'd think I was lying because I'd have a hard time telling you! It has kind of a Freddy Kreugerish premise as you might expect, in which a pair of young women are dragged bodily into one another's nightmares where they are pursued by deranged perverts; they have to unravel the mystery of what is causing this phenomenon, which has something to do with the dark history of the house where they are staying. The actual solution to this mystery is really confusing, and so is the path to the final revelation, which is mostly pretty aimless--but thankfully it is also tense and terrifying, with wonderful makeup and special effects and overall great design sense, and honestly two of the most adorable gal pals you have ever seen.

I feel to need to say that I'm a straight woman and so when I speak about the adorableness of Jemma Redgrave and Kathleen Wilhoite, I'm not being infantilizing or just boning out. I realize I'm being very "no homo" right now, but there's plenty of film fans whose viewing habits are directed by the fact that certain performers make them horny, which is like normal and all but I think not a very interesting way to watch movies or even enjoy performances. Unless we're talking about Jeffrey Combs or Peter Cushing or someone I personally think is hot, then all bets are off obviously. But Jemma Redgrave and Kathleen Wilhoite are just so very adorable! It is just a fact.

Meanwhile Jimmy Nail and Timothy Spall are extraordinarily frightening and intense, but especially Timothy Spall. I love that he's a sophisticated enough actor to be in things like SPENCER and LIFE IS SWEET, but also fully capable of playing horrible fucking creatures in weird genre movies. I like imagining that the Queen had to watch all of his movies including DREAM DEMON before making him Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.

And speaking of the Queen, the characters Nail and Spall play are incredibly sinister, intrusive paparazzi who prey upon "Diana" (Redgrave), the pretty, virginal blonde fiancee of an aristocratic Falklands War hero. It's impossible not to assume that this was inspired by Diana Spencer's ill-fated induction into the royal family in 1981, and chilling to think that DREAM DEMON was made 9 years before her essential murder at the hands of the press. All of the scenes with Spall and Nail are thoroughly hair-raising--the one thing this movie has over ELM STREET is that we have to sort of backburner Freddy's pedophilia in order to enjoy that series, while the sexual violence and scenes of child abuse in DREAM DEMON are right in your face and highly effective; but the paparazzi thing becomes really disturbing because of the real-life event that it seems to foretell. Basically, I'm saying that I highly recommend this movie, even if it's hard to describe what it is literally about!

Movies with Scarecrow vibes?

Ahhh, thank you so much for sending this! This might be long-winded, as I tend to be, but such is the way of Cranerot!

Naturally, Brian de Palma's Carrie. Aside from the plot and thematic matches almost eerily to Scarecrow: Year One to the point I'd be shocked if it wasn't a direct inspiration, de Palma's camp balanced with heartrending drama and tragedy and a horror where nearly everyone involved is a monster has Crane written all over it. I actually have several tracks from the score on my inspiration playlist for when I'm writing him!

Hellraiser (1987)! Jonathan Crane is so, so, so Cenobite-coded (highly recommend @acapelladitty's Cenobite!Crane AU, incidentally)! An old house filled with secrets, a plucky heroine whose sanity is doubted but who wins the day (at a great cost), and creatures that want to bring you to the height of sensation until the joy is inextricable from the anguish...it very much suits his more sensual reverent speeches/quotes about fear. "We have such sights to show you" could so easily be a Scarecrow quote, and likewise, "Eventually, the victim desires the horror" could very believably be a Pinhead line!

Since you mentioned it in The Most Poetical Topic, Night of the Hunter (1955) as a Southern noir quasi-folktale thriller absolutely suits the more charming, insidious iterations of Crane, in atmosphere, setting, antagonist, and in the themes of corrupted religion. The themes of childhood fears and defeating your demons while also struggling with their humanity both suit different phases of Jonathan Crane in his life, and the responses to and from the people he knows and terrorizes.

On the note of the South, O Brother Where Art Thou provides heavy atmosphere that give off Crane vibes, bringing a mythic epic to the setting of his backstory, with the music and monsters therein giving a good feel of everything that built the man and the monster.

Also naturally, many a mad scientist movie! The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari gives us a corrupt asylum director who torments his patients until he eventually becomes one of them, and Re-Animator gives us an actual former Scarecrow actor, Jeffrey Combs, in a very Crane-like role when it comes to being penalized in academica for horrific and unethical experiments. (It's even set in the original Arkham for which Gotham's is named!!) The Fly isn't quite as on point, but it does still give those vibes as well. And although the degree of 'madness' when he plays him is debatable, any of Cushing's roles as any member of the Frankenstein family come to mind since he's very much an old school!Crane figure.

A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984): yes, yes, 'look out for Mr. Pricky-Fingers', in the words of Codotverse!Scarecrow, but fear gauntlets/needles gloves aside, Freddy is the boogeyman who is literally fed on fears, and he much better gives the feel of a distinctly Scarecrowish tormentor than, say, your average Pennywise or other. Nancy's speech to him at the end is highly reminiscent of those who've managed to successfully stand up to Crane over the years, too.

Halloween (1978): On the note of boogeymen, and other than the "one good scare" quote you yourself have mentioned, I imagine Scarecrow to move and function a lot like Michael Meyers; slow, creeping, inevitable. Every kid in Gotham City thinks this place is haunted. They might be right!

For the pure fanservice of it/JonBecky vibes, let's say both the Lon Chaney and Charles Dance Phantom of the Operas, Death Takes a Holiday (1934), The Shape of Water, and The Ghost and Mrs. Muir inspire how I conceive of the more romantic side of our beloved Scarecrow. I'll throw in Silence of the Lambs as well, since that gives us an incarcerated evil psychiatrist meeting his match in an intrepid young woman involved with the law who he forces to face her formative traumas, but who manages to come out on top despite his machinations.

A few Hitchcocks, honestly! The Birds is outright referenced in Year One and definitely gives life to the visceral horrors he underwent in the old Keeny chapel, whereas Vertigo more in atmosphere and obsession captures a lot of torment he experiences. I also do see shades of crane even in Norman Bates' "private traps" speech!

Thanks so much for sending this along!

I can only find one dead man walking fic *cries*

Allow me to link you to all of the dmw fics I know of at this point in time!

definitely a kiss by gottliebeln

chaz and luger talking by the fire on an unspecified day early in their rescue mission

Late Night Out by FloweryAlien

Tonight, Chaz has stayed out mysteriously late after work, and Luger worries for him, but when Chaz returns he's a little different.

A Second Chance With You by undeadgayboynes

A year after the events of “Dead Man Walking (1987)” the unlikely pair is reunited when Luger shows up unannounced at Chaz’s apartment needing a for a place to lay low. Chaz agrees despite his his reservations. With the room to breathe and imminent death not hanging over either man’s head, things turn rather domestic and the two only grow closer. The subtle tension between the two is easy to write off, at least until Luger does something unexpected. How will this affect the pair’s relationship? Can they handle having someone to lose in a post plague world?

Tales From the Cata-Combs by PlagueDoctor31

A collection of one-shots focusing more on the lesser known roles of actor Jeffrey Combs (CHAPTERS 4, 5 AND 17)

don't go (without me) by meeeeee

This wasn’t turning out how he imagined reuniting with the Zeroman would go. Of course, he never considered that Luger would be dumb enough to break into the UNITUS headquarters, nor that he would somehow manage to escape maximum security detainment with only a gunshot wound to show for it. Still, he had always hoped that when they did meet again he would show Luger he had become a braver man… So much for that.

+ the sequel: time

After escaping from UNITUS and leaking the information about the cure, Luger and Chaz, newly reunited, are on the run through the Plaguezone. When a storm forces them to stop for the night, they finally discuss the feelings that have been unspoken between them. (Follow up to "don't go (without me)" from Luger's POV)

If more are posted, I will come back and add to this list!

Thirty One Days Of Horror Movies! Day Twenty Eight :D

From Beyond!

When a young scientist is arrested for the murder of the eccentric and sinister professor he worked with, it soon becomes clear that the truth about what happened to him is both stranger and deadlier than anyone could imagine...as the deceased scientist turns out to be very much alive and his diabolical experiments have both transformed him and opened a door to allow things both bizarre and lethal into our world....FROM BEYOND

One of the four HP Lovecraft adaptations that Stuart Gordon worked on and the second to star the wonderful horror industry legends that are Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton who would regularly work together on Gordon's Lovecraft films (Though sadly could not appear in his final adaptation, Dagon), From Beyond is a wonderful little sci fi body horror gem from the eighties

The effects work is still every bit as outlandish and grotesque as it was when the film first came out and the cast all turn in quality performances especially Ted Sorel as the villainous Dr Pretorius and Combs as his shaken former assistant

The plot is enjoyably bonkers much like Re-Animators was and this is a hella fun bit of cult classic eighties horror to enjoy this Halloween month :D

Plus it's got Barbara Crampton in dominatrix gear I mean that alone makes it at least worth a casual look ;D

Dr. Edward Pretorius, an acclaimed physicist, has perfected his newest invention: the Resonator, a machine which allows those near to it to glimpse life not visible to the naked eye. Imagining the discoveries he could make, Pretorius begins to go mad, much to the concern of his young assistant, Crawford Tillinghast. However, after the machine malfunctions during a highly sensitive experiment and Pretorius is found brutally murdered, Crawford is fingered as the primary suspect. Crawford, now confined to an asylum, becomes the ward of Dr. Katherine McMichaels, who takes a special interest in his tales of the strange creatures able to be seen while the machine is operating and convinces him to help her rebuild the device, woefully unaware of the terrifying, hidden world she is about to enter...
