“The Witch’s Dungeon” “Silver Screen Movie Museum & Archive” Website Although never given screen credit by Universal Studios, either on film or promotional material, Ben was proud to be the last of the great movie monsters for the studio. He made us believe this “Creature” was real, and dangerous, solely with his pantomime, and body movement. Due to the special eye lenses he wore as “The Gill Man”, he had limited vision. Ben’s 6’4” height also made his “Creature” very imposing. Ben was a strong supporter of “The Witch’s Dungeon Classic Movie Museum” and was on our Honorary Board Of Directors. He will be greatly missed by us all. A gentle “Creature” who loved his fans.
Our thanks to all those that have shown support for the museum, by purchasing our original DVD, “THE WITCH’S DUNGEON 40 YEARS OF CHILLS”. We appreciate your e-mails, on our documentary. It makes those three years we worked on the film, worthwhile, as we did it for the fans of classic horror. Go to “ABOUT THE DVD” page, for more information. To order via credit card, go to www.amazon.com - and please tell your friends about it - it’s the perfect gift for any movie buff. Our continued thanks also to those who always volunteer their talents for the museum : Dante Renta, Janet Mellon, Jim Wieloch, Bill Diamond, John Bartucca, “The Main Street Foundation”, Ron Adams, Kelly Mann, “Sideshow Collectibles”, Bob Burns,, Ron Borst, John Floyd, Joe Shea, & June Foray. http://www.amazon.com/Witchs-Dungeon-Chills-Classic-Documentary/dp/B00129YAJA/ref=cm_taf_title_featured?ie=UTF8&tag=tellafriend-20shapeimage_5_link_0
We are very excited about working on “Part Two” - “THE WITCH’S DUNGEON LEGENDS OF FILM & FANTASY” with a projected release of fall 2009. Last summer, we were in Los Angeles for three weeks, filming new interviews with MARK HAMILL, BILL MUMY, RICK BAKER, JULIE ADAMS, LEONARD MALTIN, LORI NELSON, BUTCH PATRICK - and so many others, plus exclusive tours of effects & prop studios, and a sculpting demonstration by MAT FALLS of “Sideshow Collectibles”. All this, and many more surprises ahead, for our new 2-disc documentary. Everyone has been extremely supportive - a special thanks to CHRIS GILMAN and his “GLOBAL EFFECTS STUDIOS”, without his help, much of this upcoming documentary would not have been possible. Until our new release, we hope you enjoy our original “WITCH’S DUNGEON 40 YEARS OF CHILLS”.
We are very pleased to say, our good friend, JOHN ZACHERLE is recovering nicely, and looks forward to the next “CHILLER THEATRE” show, May 2 to 4. http://www.chillertheatre.com/gt/gtc4.htmshapeimage_7_link_0
