what's your favorite Classic movie monster.

[dr_cyclops]

In my "Works in Progress" thread "Lady Falcon" I've posted pics of my Nosferatu and Mr. Hyde heads.
Now I want to consider, at least two more classic monsters. I've considered a Gillman, but have no desire to do a complete figure sculpt at this time. As well, I'm leaving out the Aurora monsters Frank, Drac, Wolfy, Phantom and Mummy. These heads do more justice than I would like to take on.
Has anyone done a "Bride" head, or does the Aurora head work in scale? If I remember correctly, the Bride, Hyde, Witch and Hunchback were in the smaller "Monsters of the Movies" scale.
So anyway, please feel free to let me know who your favorite classic movie monsters are.

Always have been a Dracula fan. Hammer 70's vampire flicks are cinema at it's best!!

Oh yeah! Hammer is one of my favorites as well. Has anyone done a "Curse of the Werewolf" head? I thought I saw one on a custom site not too long ago, I could be wrong though. I remember seeing a fantastic Lon Chaney Jr wolfman somewhere. I want to try and stay away from copyrights on this project, and stick to public domain characters.
I've always wanted to do a cool looking "Insecto-scientist".

Dracula for sure

Love those Hammer flicks! The Draculas (and other assorted vampires), the Frankensteins, The Mummy... I've pretty much collected them all.

I'm thinking about going back and watching some of their period pirate movies.
Any good?

I have not seen any of the pirate movies in a long time. As for public domain I could recommend a few. For Hammer, I've got nothing. Sorry.
Any Hammer I'd add to any character in this direction would be minimal and only suggested. Since the Big guns are covered in the Aurora, These characters are not first choices for consideration. As for any "Vampire Lovers" out there, I could see a way of Hammering something out in that direction. Still, I would need some help on just how to sculpt for rooted hair.
Remember Hasbro's 12 inch movie Poison Ivy doll? Don't need none of that!

Dracula for sure, especially when portrayed by Lugosi or Lee.

Anyone who wants a good Bela Drac can cast an Aurora model head and hands. Lee Dracula, while a great idea, is I'm not not what I'm looking for at this time.
Bride, Insecto-scientist, Medusa, Yeti, classic character types, not Vincent Price from 'Last Man on Earth". These concepts are easy for me to come up with, far more difficult to complete.
I now realize it is my fault. The title of this thread should not have contained the word "movie". It should have just been "Classic Monster".
Sorry for the confusion.

Lee Drac could be made from a stupid count duku figure's head.

I like the Morlocks from The Time Machine. The figures made in the past suck.

Another monster I'd like to see is the Martian from War Of The Worlds.

How about making aliens like from the Star Trek cartoon. That would be cool.

Getting a lot closer. THANKS!

Great idea. Still, I'm less interested in characters that will require licensing at this time.

Matt Jaycox has done several classic monster customs, including Curse of the Werewolf, Lee Dracula and several Frankenstein customs. I've done a couple of monster customs as well

Matt was gracious enough to let me use a couple of his sculpts and I have plenty more to do.
To answer your question: my favorite classic monster is Dracula.
But if you want to know what sculpt I would like to see that I don't already have, you're on the right track with that Nosferatu and London after Midnight sculpt.
