#MONSTERMONDAY! : UPDATED! ANTON JOHANN AND KARL : BAD BOYS WHO CAME UNDONE

#MONSTERMONDAY! Seldom has Hammer films script-writer Anthony Hinds penned such wonderfully obnoxious characters as Anton, Karl and Johann, who appeared in Cushing's fourth Baron film, 'Frankenstein Created Woman' . . . 

Their antics were really quite appalling, and managed to generate more than enough anger from the sympathetic audience, that when their grizzly ends did arrive in the story, it was surely felt, they well deserved it.. didn't they??? 

True Christina Kleeve was a little 'unhinged' . . . Weren't THEY the Monsters? YOU decide....

UPDATED! UPDATED!
It took a little time for someone to crack it, but crack it, DON CUNNINGHAM did! The problem with the poster lies in the bottom RIGHT. A colour tinted image of SUSAN DENBERG as Christina Kleeve with KNIFE at the PICNIC about to MURDER . . . . KARL? If you are familiar with the story of the film, you'll know that Christina murders JOHANN at the picnic...not KARL, he was murdered at the Inn.

ABOVE: A PUBLICITY STILL OF JOHANN AND CHRISTINA..

BUT HE ISN'T LOOKING FACE ON!

It appears that what the artist who made this poster wanted was a FACE ON shot of DEREK FOWLDS as Johann, as Christinia is about to plunge in the knife. It's either he did not have that particular photograph, or the press dept / distributor didn't make that photograph part of the KEY BOOK archive. So, they improvised. They took the image of Christina from the colour LOBBY STILL SET also featuring JOHANN, but looking away and replaced JOHANN'S head with BARRY WARREN'S . . . KARL! I guess no one noticed...until NOW!

WE REMEMBER THORLEY WALTERS : BORN TODAY 1913 ON SET GIF AT BRAY!

TODAY, we remember the great character actor, Thorley Walters on what would have been his birthday. Known for often playing eccentric characters in a variety of different films, many of which he made for Hammer. Over the years he became part of the Hammer film repertory company, a dozen or so actors, who were cast as not only support characters, but would turn up as barmen, coach drivers, butlers, doctors and... 'victims' Among Walters titles for Hammer were, 'The Phantom of the Opera' (1962), 'Dracula, Prince of Darkness' (1966), with Christopher Lee, 'Frankenstein Created Woman' (1967), 'Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed' (1969) with Peter Cushing and his last Hammer appearance, 'Vampire Circus' (1972). He also played Dr Watson to Christopher Lee's Holmes in 'Sherlock Holmes and the Deadly Necklace' (1962) and co starred with Peter Cushing in a non hammer film 'Suspect' (1960)

'FRANKENSTEIN MUST BE DESTROYED'  was Walters last role with Peter Cushing, though not sharing any scenes together, he did play with scenes with Geoffrey Bayldon, who sadly passed away yesterday. Walters and Bayldon were very skilled actors, who could take the simplest of dialogue and scenes, and make them very much their own...and yet, without being selfish to others sharing the scenes.

BOTH Bayldon and Walters also appeared as many government officials, civil servants and poker faced clerks. For a time they had almost a monopoly on from men from the department of.... in pin-striped suits, bowler hats with chilly jobs-worth attitudes to match! Both Walters and Bayldon were an extremely skilled breed of actor, we now so rarely get to see and enjoy... which makes the work they have left for us, all the more important, and for that, we thank them and remember one of them today . . .
