#MAKINGAWEREWOLF was a 'Dawg Gone Problem!', in 1974 . . that's for
sure. And as we will probably learn from some of the 'extras'
'interviews' included on the soon to be released BLU Ray from #Indicatorfilms
of Amicus films, 'The Beast Must Die'.. it was quite a job! Here are
some photographs from the on set shooting days on the film, where 'The
Beast' was needed and in residence. The 'experts on hand from Ted
Samuels, make up Paul Rabiger and John Hilling from wardrobe, all
appear to have had a hand in coming up with a solution. I am not expert
and no nothing about dogs, I have a dribbling, furry log, who looks
wild boar, that passes himself off as a pedigree PUG called Barney, and I
believe him! 😮😃What breed of dog they are using here, I have no idea! Maybe you do?
But with some added fur, teeth and attitude, they pull it off I think...
just about 😊
FANS APPEAR to be as torn as a pair of 'postman's ravaged pants', on
this film. Which I find odd. It's Amicus they did their own thing, only
one Gothic film, mostly contemporary settings. Milton and Max left the
tradition horror films to Hammer, who had more cash to bash a horror
film. Amicus did different and took risks too!
ANYWAY, here are some
more pics from the #PCASUK clutter for you to have a look at. I think
it's worth noting that #INDICATOR / #POWERHOUSE has started to really
build itself a sterling and quite trusted reliable reputation for BLU
RAY and BOX SETS of considerable quality and content! SEVERAL of their
#HAMMERFILMS collections have treated fans and collectors alike to very
interesting titles supported with quite a stash of surprising extras
(The recent Indicator Hammer Box Set 'FACES OF FEAR' VOLUME FOUR'
included an impressive 4k remastering of 'The Revenge of Frankenstein'
with the inclusion of some very rarely seen 'On Set' and Behind the
scenes trims and footage of the #Braystudio floor during shooting with
#PeterCushing, Francis Matthews, Eunice Gayson and Oscar Quitak) As,
hoped, the '#THEBEASTMUSTDIE' blu ray also comes with its own bank of
extras and goodies! It's open for pre-orders of it's LIMITED release
right now 😉 - Marcus
