As a result, I plan to offer a post, detailing Beacon's various ape-man influences. However, when conjuring my character, it was Frederic March's Edward Hyde who shot to the forefront.

It seems you may have had another angle on this one. If that's the case, would you elaborate?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15230570694291856548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387071332129706211.post-50170864477670509372014-12-01T15:52:08.866-08:002014-12-01T15:52:08.866-08:00Aw, you got me, Kayla: nailed 'em right down t...Aw, you got me, Kayla: nailed 'em right down the line. I must say, Stanley isn't a complete knock-off of the Gillman, of course (only reminiscent of such types) and Slappy sure ain't no Quasimodo. He's not the brawny, gallant type, as I perceive Quasi to be. To me, Slappy is a diminutive nod to Hunchback of Notre Dame wannabes: more in tune with Dwight Frye as Fritz in "Frankenstein '31" or J. Caroll Naish as poor Daniel in "House of Frankenstein." Nonetheless, I salute you for your overall accuracy and insight. Thank you, my friend!BIZARRECHATShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13628550479171385545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387071332129706211.post-19146331644146838692014-12-01T14:16:25.459-08:002014-12-01T14:16:25.459-08:00Hmm...so, Frankenstein is Benjamin; Dracula is Ber...Hmm...so, Frankenstein is Benjamin; Dracula is Bernard; Magda, the Witch; Franklin, Mr. Hyde. Lon Jr. is the Wolfman; Lon Sr., the Phantom of the Opera. I’ll venture a guess and say that Stanley is the Creature; and Slappy is the Hunchback.
