After consideration of several films (Dracula, The Brides of Dracula, The Horror of Dracula - whoa, Christoper Lee is awesome! and of course Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein), and TV shows (Buffy, Angel and Kolchak) , and a dear friend in Hollywood who creates all kinds of movie effects, and is an expert on vampire lore, I decided to move the count to a environment with less sunlight, or even the chance of getting slightly toasted by a lingering ray of sun shine. Heck, something like that could ruin Dracula's Tropical vacation! So I changed the Background. Still on the beach, and with a red sky to match the other monsters, but no sun. Now a volcanic eruption (from a safe lagoon away distance). GROG ~ I like your place ment of the Sphinx! Good composition. So I added in big Tiki in that spot. What might be fun would be, if and when, I do a Tiki-lounge version of "The Mummy" to do a Moai headed Sphinx. Or would that be too much genre bending? Atomic Tiki Punk - Ha! I hear you brother! I remember the summer in my teenage years I discovered the stories of H.P. Lovecraft. Everything changed for me. I hope you are also listening to the H. P. Lovecraft pod cast. http://blog.hppodcraft.com/2010/01/12/episode-28--the-horror-at-martins-beach.aspx If you are in the mood to read scary tales of sea monsters and ghost pirates, check out William Hope Hodgson (1877 –1918). A great short story "A Tropical Horror": http://www.strangeark.com/cryptofiction/tropical-horror.html Hodgson wrote terrific horror stories. Big Aloha Brad~
