Sketch o'the Week- Lon Cheney!

Sketch o’the Week- Lon Cheney!

This is going to be the last of my “horror movie icons” sketches I think. The series has run its course and while there are many other horror movie greats worthy of being caricatured, it’s time to move on. I couldn’t end this any other way than to draw the legendary Lon Chaney in his signature role as Erik from the 1925 silent film “The Phantom of the Opera”. Chaney was famous for doing his own…

Universal Monsters + Fuckability

Qualifications (choosing movies)

I have seen the movie.

Characters listed as part of the Universal Monsters lineup (Phantom of the Opera from 1925 for example is not included.)

Personality and events of film considered just as much as physical attractiveness.

[ID: Picture of Bela Lugosi as Dracula, dressed in black clothes and a cape, staring at the camera with an annoyed expression. His face is slightly in the shadows. End id]

Dracula (1931)

Bela Lugosi kinda handsome

Vampires hot

Rich.

Has three wives (dick is good) (plus you can hang out with wives)

Hypnosis

Loses points because the movie was boring and he kills Lucy Westron, poly icon (antifeminist)

7/10

[ID: image of Boris Karloff as Frankenstein, holding his hands to his face, looking offscreen and with a disturbed expression. The lighting only lights up his face. End ID]

Frankenstein (1931)

Literally just born (minor) and doesn’t understand sex

Movie diverged too much from the book for me to like it

Too awkward and big

Unclear if he has any genitalia at all

1/10 because this image is cool and a little sexy

[ID: Boris Karloff as Imhotep the mummy. His skin is dried and sunken in. He's glaring at something offscreen. He's dressed in a high collar brown shirt and a cap that covers the top of his head. End ID]

The Mummy (1932)

One of my faves

Backstory is centered around LOVE - will literally curse the gods and forsake everyone for his lover. Hot.

The opening scene where he came awake for the first time was sexy.

Anti colonialist

Hypnosis

Nice voice

Loses points for unfortunately not being very attractive - dry skin

9/10

[No image for this slide]

The Invisible Man (1933)

Wanted to take over the world and went to his best friend and not his FIANCE??? Gay, and clearly doesn’t care about lover’s needs (even with said best friend).

Not a monster, just an asshole

Pushed over a baby carriage! Disgusting

We don’t know what he looks like. Sexiness only comes from whether or not you think having sex with someone you can’t see would be hot or not.

Gets points for being a silly little guy, ambition being hot, and the “villain goes soft only for his loved one” trope

Still. -5/10

Bride of Frankenstein (1935)

Like Frankenstein, Literally just born (minor) and doesn’t understand sex

Also had strong reaction AGAINST being an object of desire and so ranking her is missing the point

However because she’s the ONLY woman on this list she gets special privileges.

will be ranking her as if she was not literally ten minutes old and if she understood sex

[ID: Elsa Lanchester as the bride of Frankenstein. The lighting of the image is very bright, so you can see her whole upper body with very few shadows. She's staring at something offscreen with a curious but frightened expression. She wears white robes, and her hair is black with a white streak up the sides, in a beehive style. End ID]

Bride of Frankenstein (1935) (cont.)

Horror movie scream A+

Gorgeous and Iconic

Understands No Means No. (Unlike other creatures on this list)

Baby Girl you are SO unnerving 💖💖💖

Tall Woman. Probably strong.

10/10.

[ID: Two images of the wolf man. One is the wolf man as the wolf man, standing in thr woods, his face covered in fur, his hands furry and clawed, looking panicked. The second is Lon Cheney Jr. as Larry Talbot, a white man with short dark hair slicked back, dressed in a suit with a plaid tie, with a stressed out look on his face. End ID]

The Wolf Man (1941)

This movie just makes me sad. Larry Talbot is a tragic figure.

But he’s also kind of a stalker (spies on woman)

Only a monster half of the time

Wolf form isn’t attractive. (human form okay.)

No sense of control.

Not even a little okay with his murders. Too pathetic and sad.

2/10

[ID: Image of the creature from the black lagoon, a creature the size of a man covered in scaley and amphibian-like skin with a fish-like face. He's mostly submerged in water, only his head and finned hands with sharp claws poking out of the water. End ID]

The Creature From The Black Lagoon (1954)

Definitely my favourite

Environmentalist! Anti colonialist!

Swimming scene half creepy half romantic, also gets points for inspiring The Shape of Water (2017).

Phenomenal creature design, A+.

Just wants someone to love

Will kill everyone else but NOT lover.

Underwater sex. Rough sex.

Sex will probably be awkward because of this.

8/10

[ID: profile of the Bride of Frankenstein. Her head is tiled up and her eyes are mostly closed.]

Congratulations to our winner! Runner ups, The Mummy and the Creature From the Black Lagoon.

For Jenny: you've mentioned your godfather is mothman and your partner's father is Santa, do you know any other famous extranormal folk?

So, point of order, and I hate to be a pedant here, but Norm was the one who said that Mothman is my godfather-

Yeah, my bad. Didn’t mean to out you like that.

-It’s fine, Norm. Mr. Kringle said that Reggie, my girlfriend, is his daughter. I don’t know if the vibe came across during his interview, but Mr. Kringle is not the kind of person you correct.

I’m actually a little self conscious about my connections with the community, I get really bad imposter syndrome, and the knowledge that my grandfather got me the job I have right now doesn’t help with that, so I try really hard not to namedrop.

Listen, your grandad is a good judge of character on top of being a friend. He wouldn’t have brought you up if he didn’t think you’d fit. I was in the…hospital when he visited. “I have….just the…per-son for the…..job,” he said.

My grandad also hijacked a- wait, are the records on that one still sealed?

Yeah, anything in the 70s we can’t–

Right. Beyond that, uhhh, my ex claimed he was the mocap actor for Benecio del Toro’s werewolf form in the 2010 Wolfman remake? And that they asked him to come in because his grandfather was Lon Cheney’s body double?

Which, we know who that was, we have the files. I could bring them up right now.

No, yeah, I’m almost a hundred percent certain he’s full of ████.

Rudy could have been the body double in 2010? He was at least that old, so you – he –

Can we not talk about my bad relationship decisions on a public forum please?

Yeah, sorry. Just, you know.

I know.

If I can chime in, I know her grandad as a friend. Hadn’t met Jenny until she came here, but he and I had worked together in West Virginia, being a Virginian myself. I was friends with Yth’Wa before her metamorphosis and appointment as leader of the Yellow Circle. Dogsat for her a couple times. Oh, I also met Gef the mongoose when I visited HMES that one time when I was a junior agent.

Oh I met Flatwoods once!

Oh, really? What’s she doing now? Modeling on Glammr, right?

Yeah, she has millions of followers.

1961's The WORLD of ICE and FIRE

I'm going to do it. I'm going to self-indulge!

The Roger Corman ASOIAF production post is mostly just a novelty, but since I'm me, I have a lot of FEELINGS and OPINIONS about this cast. Naturally.

Anyway. Here's how well I think the actors in my post would play their roles, from worst to best.

#19, Worst: John Ashley as Robb Stark

You know how Ben Affleck has a face that knows about emails? John Ashley has a face that knows about sock hops. Woefully miscast.

#18: Tor Johnson as Gregor Clegane

God love the big guy, but I've only ever seen him make this face. Also, despite his repertoire of roles suggesting otherwise on paper, he just doesn't seem like a mean guy.

#17: John Agar as Jaime Lannister

Another terrible choice. The only reason he's not ranked as worst is because his soulless performance would make viewers interpret Jaime as an absolutely irredeemable sociopath, which at least would be... uh, interesting, I guess.

#16 Robert Reed as Renly Baratheon

Renly, but only if he was the most boring Baratheon. Go ahead, try to picture Reed eating a peach. You can't.

#15 Dawn Bender as Arya Stark

Aw, she'd try. But I feel like her attempts at Arya's fire would mostly come off as petulance.

#14 Richard Carlson as Ned Stark

Sorry, what? I fell asleep for a minute there.

#13 June Kenney as Daenerys Targaryen

Kenney would try her level best, but you know Corman would do a terrible job incorporating her storyline with the main plot, so she wouldn't have much to do except lounge around on mildly offensive orientalist sets and talk to her force-perspective dragon puppets. (Stop-motion you say? What, you think American International is made of money?)

#12 Dolores Faith as Sansa Stark

Again, no knock to Faith, but as with Daenerys, I think a 1961 production would flatten Sansa's character away to nothing. She'd get to pine and wear some nice dresses.

#11 Anthony Dexter as Petyr Baelish

This guy can play oily like nobody's business (check him out in 1962's Married Too Young), but 5D-chess-level deviousness might be beyond him.

#10 Michael Dunn as Tyrion Lannister

Full disclosure: I'm plopping him in the middle because I've never seen him in anything! The only little person I've personally seen in Corman's movies is Billy Barty (playing an actual, literal imp), and Dunn was someone I found who was said to play much meatier roles. In general, I think the depth of Tyrion's character would seriously challenge 1960s casting directors who were used to casting little people in jokey roles or as something less than human. One of many problems they'd have with the source material, no doubt.

#9 Lon Cheney Jr. as Sandor Clegane

Here's another actor who would do the best with what he was given - which would be an essentially empty role. This Sandor would be a beast used only for jump scares, with too much rubber over his face to ever show an emotion.

#8 Glen Langan as Stannis Baratheon

Langan would be serious, but dull, with lots of droning sermonizing. In other words, perfect. Still boring though.

#7 Basil Rathbone as Tywin Lannister

Who better to play a role totally owned by Charles Dance than an actor who's even Charles Dancier? The only reason I'm not ranking this legend higher is because I do think he'd kind of sleepwalk through this role, especially at this stage in his career.

#6 Raymond Burr as Robert Baratheon

The future Mr. Perry Mason was damn good at playing hard-drinking, prowly, "beastly" men. See him in this fabulous trailer for 1951's Bride of the Gorilla (spoiler: Burr is the gorilla). Of course, for this production, he'd be about 10 years on from that virile role, but that's perfectly on brand for Bobby B.

#5 Michael Landon as Jon Snow

Landon's tortured James Dean era would be a great fit for angsty goth teen Jon, though he might have trouble keeping his feelings as hidden as Jon does.

#4 Allison Hayes as Melisandre

Should she be ranked this high? Eh, maybe not, but this woman is a goddamn B-movie bombshell goddess. Her Red Woman would be a little less mysterious, sure, but her perfectly arched eyebrows and bullet bra would do R'hllor proud all the same.

#3 Marie Windsor as Catelyn Stark

They didn't call her Queen of the B's for nothing. Windsor always did great with roles that call for strength and verve. She'd be a fantastic Cat, and - dare I dream it - an even better Lady Stoneheart.

#2 Jack Nicholson as Theon Greyjoy

Now this would be fun. If baby Jack Nicholson had half the presence and charisma he would show in later movies, his Theon would be legendary.

#1 Coleen Gray as Cersei Lannister

If I can get Tumblr to understand one thing, it's how much Coleen Gray would absolutely eat in the role of Cersei. She's beautiful. She's a schemer. She's a helpless victim. She's back for revenge. I challenge anyone to watch her insane, murderous, fierce, gorgeous, duplicitous performance in 1960's otherwise pretty terrible The Leech Woman and not come to the same conclusion. I'm serious. There would be no survivors. 👑

I think I’m like this because my mom made me watch a ripped vhs copy of the 1939 film adaptation of the hunchback of notre dame when I was like. 7. stopped in the middle of this post to call her & ask if she knew if it was the 1939 one or the 1922 one with lon cheney & she did not know so & because i hotboxed my car shortly before this it turned into a 40 minute phone call that involved a lot of me reading parts of news articles to her. anyway i have no idea which black & white adaptation we watched but the feast of fools is still kind of seared into my brain almost 20 years later. boy I wonder if seeing a visibly disabled man be tortured & humiliated for the crime of being visibly disabled while my mother’s disability got worse & more visible & I was functionally her caretaker did anything weird to my psyche

#the book is next on my fiction agenda once I finish the name of the rose #which I am 72% through thank you storygraph #marc.txt

HAPPY PUBLIC DOMAIN DAY! These and more are now in the public domain:

- The final Sherlock Holmes stories - Metropolis - Now We Are Six - The Jazz Singer (first talkie) - Wings (first best Oscar picture)

There is such a wealth of material that a social media post can't summarize it. Alfred Hitchcock's first thriller is now public domain. There's Louis Armstrong, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner and Agatha Christie. More Lon Cheney! I didn't even touch on music like "The Best Things in Life Are Free" and "(I Scream You Scream, We All Scream for) Ice Cream."

the main attributes i use to rank phantoms are

Wetness: how pathetic is the phantom? a good way to tell that a phantom is wet is how effectively the adaption makes you feel bad for them; the reason i'm calling it wetness is because a common way to do that is to make the phantom cry. two examples of phantoms with a high wetness ranking are winslow from phantom of the paradise and the erik from the 1988 cartoon.

Silliness: does the phantom like having fun with it? two examples of eriks with a high silliness ranking are 1989 robert englund erik and 1990 charles dance erik. these two couldn't be more different personality-wise - 1989 is low on wetness while 1990 is very wet - but they both meet the requirements for a high silliness ranking in their own unique ways (1989 likes killing people in ridiculous ways, 1990 is charming and funny in a natural way).

wetness and silliness are the only two that are clearly defined in my head at the moment, but other more vibes-based traits i grade on are

Neurodivergence: you can easily make the case that all phantoms are ND, but which ones lean extra hard into it? 1962 herbert lom is a good example of a clearly ND phantom, as is ramin karimloo's phantom in the 25th anniversary recording. both are also exceptionally wet

Attractiveness: this is super subjective i know. all i can say is, for me, examples of phantoms i want to [redacted] include 1925 lon cheney erik (i just think he's cute :) ), 1989 robert englund erik (it's 50/50 whether he fucks you or murders you, and that's exciting to me because i have problems)

How would werewolves work in your game idea? Would it be like the actual series with a human, wolf and werewolf form or would they be able to transform into a variety of lupine phases?

You would have six forms in total. Three you get at the base of the game, and three bonus ones you get by leveling up in certain areas.

Form 1, Hominid: You human form. Walking around in this hides your true nature as a werewolf from the world, save from those with psychic sensing abilities and other werewolves with exceptional noses. It is much easier to talk to and convince people in this form, as well as using human tools.

Form 2, Lupus: Take the shape of a standard grey wolf. From afar, you look like a large dog and have benefits to all sneaking abilities. It is easier to remain unseen in this form. In addition, you have access to more potent magics in this shape, as you are closer to the Wyld.

Form 3, Crinos: Your War Form. You take the true shape of the Werewolf: a nine foot tall slab of muscle, claws and fur. This is your strongest form, but the longer you fight in this form the higher your Frenzy Meter rises. If it fills up all the way you enter a mad state where you will attack anything and everyone around you, including your own allies and innocent bystanders.

~Bonus Forms~

Form 4, Glabro: An altered version of your human form, resembling that of Lon Cheney Jr's Wolfman. You become physically stronger in this form, comparable to your Crinos Form, but your Frenzy Meter does not fill as you fight. However, you are much slower than in your Crinos form. To unlock the Glabro Form, you will require a large amount of favor from both the Wyrm and Weaver Spirits.

Form 5, Hispo: Take the shape of a giant wolf of the ancient world, at least the size of a savage Rhinoceros. You are incredibly physically powerful in this shape, but suffer penalties to stealth and magic, but this form also opens up a wider variety of magics you can use. To unlock the Hispo Form, you will require Quite a bit of Favor from the Wyld and Wyrm Spirits.

Form 6, Pneuma: Take the ghostly form of a spirit beast. Similar in appearance to your Crinos Form, you are incorporeal and immune to most forms of attack in this form. However, you cannot use physical attack, and must rely on your magic, which becomes incredibly potent in this spiritual shape. But be warned, Magical attacks from your opponents are also incredibly devastating in this form. You can only unlock the Pneuma Form with Absolute Favor "the maximum amount possible" from the Wyld.

Personally, I'd suggest The Mummy. Karloff is mesmerizing and his melencholy overshadows each scene he's in. I dig Bride of Frankenstein, it stays with you. And Dracula's always a banger. Also, technically universal horror, Lon Cheney in Hunchback of Notre Dame. It's incredible.

Awesome!! Thank you so so much!! I'll add these to my watch list 👀 I should have time to watch at least one this week

Farlorn

Feeling feelingless, she sags like a cut strings mannequin

A framed picture of a happy memory she regrets, never trust a man again

A woman’s skin, that woman, thin but far from thin skinned the old workboot

Stretching leg to locker, hooks a prayer bead on her foot

Pillow at her belly, comfort of mass, arms slothed around it

Thighs pressed together, tight enough to brodequin

Harlequin light breaches her painted windows, ignites the walls a box she’s in

Fumbling tightening rolling a wheel, poppy fire, pin prick to sick a liquid in

Convulsive pleasure, mouth sick of, eczema blotches betray the sin

Arm bleeds like a radiator

Offworld tar invigorates her

Sword’s second side irradiates her

World of want, peopled by saters

Lovers and haters

Disease creators and war tech innovator

Tilled by Her love’s rotavator

I am broken and readied for reconstruction

My marshland heart is a dismal source

Boiling words come steaming forth

My forever fallow fields bounded by Edens and Gallows Gardens as crowned marble Babylon

Baby Lon Cheney in the pram watches his father change his face, his make-up on

Another GPK-inspired card for a local character! This is of my friend, Hagan! He's pretty much a werewolf in real life so it wasn't much of a stretch to lampoon Lon Cheney Jr.

As always, if you wanna be grossified in similar fashion, shoot me a message!

I’m digitizing the journal from my TRT hike. It’s clippy and cynical so feel free to ignore

Days 7-9

Day 7 Ward Creek to Tahoe City

It was a boring walk to Tahoe City. It’s funny that you can measure how close you are to town by how people start to act. In the wilderness everyone is friendly to cordial and exchange greetings while passing each other, but near town people look at you cockeyed when you say hi. I washed up in the Savemart bathroom, then bought a hiker’s feast to eat at Common’s Beach in the heart of the town. I felt like an idiot for basically taking a shower in the Savemart sink, because Common’s Beach has great bathrooms. I got to texting while shoving cheezits in my face, and heard from Andrew that the Star Trek con is basically sold out, so I cancelled my trip and will probably go see Brooke instead. Went to the thrift store to buy something to wear while doing laundry, but they only took cash. I went in search of an ATM, but wound up getting some pricey clothes at Any Mountain. I actually like the duds, but the price means that I can’t ditch them! I went to the laundromat, and was surprised that all the machines were card and app based, but not the detergent vending machine. Luckily the owner took pity on me and let me use her detergent. I scooted off to the library to charge my phone and wait for my 4pm hotel check in, and read a great graphic novel about the life of Lon Cheney. I decided to head to the gear store, and ran into the two friendly hikers from Desolation on the street! I bought a fresh pair of socks, fancy flip flops, but they didn’t have any walking sticks or single trekking poles. After a bit more shopping and an ice cream cone, I was finally able to check in and take a blessed shower.

I walked to the chaotic Safeway to resupply since it was closer than the Savemart. Had a beer and ate Cheezits in bed while watching TV. The beer took me by surprise, but after I sobered up a little I headed across the street and ordered some takeout from the Fat Cat cafe. Packed up for the morning. Watson lake is only 13 miles so I’ll let myself sleep til 8.

Day 8 Tahoe City to Watson Lake

Woke up at 5:30 despite myself. Took another shower then got out of Dodge. The trail wasn’t that bad, but my pack weighing 35 lbs again makes everything harder. Basically bike trails until Watson peak where there were some nice views of the lake. A snowmobile crashed into the lake this winter so there’s a small oil spill on the north side of the lake. I’m not drinking the lake water just in case it messes up my filter. I’m enjoying the bear boxes at the campground. It’s not too crowded despite its reputation as a party spot. We’ll see how rowdy the group by the water gets at night. Tomorrow’s hike might be crazy

Day 9 Watson Lake to Gray Lake

5:30, had great sleep. Just a bunch of easy to sing on bike track until Brockway summit. Pleasant enough. Water was cached at the parking lot, so that ruled. Lots of climbs, then finally views. Crazy trail above north shore in the Mt. Rose wilderness! Gray lake is surprisingly charming, and the spring water that feeds it is so cold it numbs your hands and gives you brain freeze if you chug it.
