Elsa Lanchester in The Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
Fun facts about “The Bride” :
- “The Bride”, the most obscure of Universal Studios’ Classic Monsters, is on screen for less than five minutes and is the only “Classic Monster” never to have killed anyone.
- Elsa Lanchester’s shock hairdo was held in place by a wired horsehair cage.
- Elsa Lanchester was only 5’4” but for the role was placed on stilts that made her 7’ tall. The bandages were placed so tightly on her that she was unable to move and had to be carried about the studio and fed through a straw.
- Elsa Lanchester said that her spitting, hissing performance was inspired by the swans in Regent’s Park, London. “They’re really very nasty creatures,” she said.
Tumblr favorite #1906: Say hello to Blinky!
My original tumblr post was here. This image was researched by Bacchus at ErosBlog as part of the “Δ commission.” The research was originally published at Hedonix as “Δ 077 – Say Hello To Blinky!.” Here is what Bacchus found.
The earliest post in this animation’s tumblr chain of attribution contains the tags “#Shizuku #Hunter x Hunter #HunterxHunter #HxH #gif”. The reference is to Hunter X Hunter, a Japanese manga series adapted into an anime television show. The girl in this animation is the character Shizuku, who has the power to summon a magical vacuum cleaner named Blinky who can suck up anything that is not alive or itself conjured. There are some screen caps of Shizuku and Blinky here, including this one:
Tumblr favorite #1903: Follow her down
My original tumblr post here. This image was researched by Bacchus at ErosBlog as part of the “Δ commission.” The research was originally published at Hedonix as “Δ 074 – Follow Her Down.” Here is what Bacchus found.
This animation consists of frames from a 2010 music video for the song Follow Me Down by British “musical outfit” Unkle. The video is available on YouTube and the animation comes from the portion that begins at approximately 1m:40sec into the video:
According to this website the video was directed by Warren Du Preez and Nick Thornton Jone and features model Liberty Ross. The video is also available on the Unkle website.
Tumblr favorite #1902: Brainwashing in progress
My original tumblr post was here. This image was researched by Bacchus at ErosBlog as part of the “Δ commission.” The research was originally published at Hedonix as “Δ 073 – Brainwashing In Progress.” Here is what Bacchus found.
This animation consists of frames from the 1977 sexploitation movie Ilsa, The Tigress of Siberia. The scene is included in sets of stills at three different websites, although neither of two detailed summaries of the movie’s plot explains what specifically is happening (or to whom) in the scene with the wired-up girl (not Ilsa). Here is a larger still image of the scene:
A probably-temporary copy of the movie dubbed in Spanish exists on YouTube, where the scene in question starts at about 52:15. Although it’s not entirely clear what’s going on, the scene appears to depict a sort of electronic brainwashing or mind-control project, that leaves its victim huddled in a barren cell while imagining that she is trapped in a tropical bog being bitten by snakes. Here’s another captured still of the brainwashing equipment in use:
