Short Sharp Shocks
GHOST STORIES The Alexandra Theatre, Birmingham, Tuesday 20th May 2025 The hit West End show is back out on the road again, its reputation preceding it. Written by Andy Nyman and Jeremy Dyson, the show is just as much about ghost stories as it is an anthology of ghost stories. We begin with an address by Professor Goodman, a folklorist who seeks to debunk belief in the supernatural. He shows…

*Little John from the 1973 animated Disney film voiced by Phil Harris was not included because he does not meet the admission guidelines for the the Medieval and Fantasy Melee. Though we may include characters/versions of a character in exit polls that were not submitted in the tournament proper, we still only include those who would have qualified, had anyone thought to submit them.

Forty Days of Frankenstein, Day Eighteen: Back in 1990, in Britain, the British government decided to privatize the electricity industry, moving it from a large government concern to a suite of private companies held by stockholders. This was widely regarded with suspicion, so to get the populace on board, the government commissioned a series of commercials in favor of the scheme. And who better to act as a spokesmonster for the privatization of the electricity industry in Britain than—you guessed it—the Frankenstein Monster! Veteran character actor Clive Mantle was recruited to play the part of the Monster, which he did brilliantly. This is a test shot of his makeup. It looks better in the commercials:

A deleted scene from Superman lV: The Quest for Peace, wherein Superman (Christopher Reeve) battled the first Nuclear Man (Clive Mantle), who was actually the film continuity version of Bizarro.
This scene was a portion of the 45 minutes that was cut from the finished film after a disastrous test screening, resulting in a 90 minute runtime (which felt much, much longer when you watched this film in a theater).
As bad as the final film is, it begs the question: how bad was this scene that it was cut?
Superman fan that I am, I ‘m curious to see this scene and the other deleted footage ,although I suspect I’ll regret it afterward.
