More by accident than plan, I came across these nifty, what-if lobby-card/poster images by renowned mashup artist, Nick Perks. I was so thrilled by his imaginative, alternate-reality renderings that I couldn't help but share a couple here.
Also, to have seen Crabbe interact with Boris Karloff and/or Bela Lugosi (whether in a monsterized, comic-book context or otherwise) would been nothing short of ingenious. However, if Crabbe had played Superman, what would the Man of Steel's limitations (if any) have been against the Frankenstein Monster and Count Dracula? What would the scripts have entailed? If James Whale and Tod Browning had been involved in the productions, how would they have tackled the superhero content? Would George Zucco have played Lex Luthor...Paulette Goddard, Lois Lane?
Of course, such questions are relegated to whimsy, with no definitive answer to be had, but they sure do get one's imagination rolling, just like when one reads of such ill-fated proposals as "King Kong vs Frankenstein"; "Kong vs Orca"; "Mighty Joe Young Meets Tarzan"; "The Wolf Man vs Dracula"; "Dr. Phibes Meets Count Yorga"; "Michael Myers vs Pinhead" (i.e. "Helloween")..."Freddy vs Jason vs Ash" (okay, that one at least hit comic-book form).
For a hoot, what are some of the fantastic team-ups/rallies you might have fancied (or yet fancy) on the big (or small) screen? Feel free to post your thoughts below...
