Film Board -- link attached here. My name is
David Colton, also known as Taraco, and I'm one of the Old Clubhouse guys who was there. Bravo!!

taraco; Administrator ... Finally, we don't really know how to describe these last two photos, which ended up being the
highlight of the Bash for the few lucky enough to be there. Prof. Griffin (Joseph Fotinos), was
showing us his Austin, Texas horror host tapes when a giant Frankenstein monster walked into
the Old Dark Clubhouse. The lights went on and one of the wives actually gave out a little scream
because the monster, played to a fault by Baron
von Wolfstein, was intensely realistic and intensely green. Well, what happened next absolutely floored
everyone. Prof. Griffin explained that the two
had worked up a small play based on the last nine pages of Mary Shelly's novel -- not the
'bread good' stuff of the movies but the High Romance language of the novel itself, with
breathtaking passages about the creature's guilt, rapid-fire exchanges of Shakespearean-like
dialogue and just professional acting by all
concerned. The 20 or so folks in the Clubhouse watched all this with rapt attention. It was riveting and
high drama and so unforgettable that Richard
Gordon, after the standing ovation had ended, said that the performance was so good it could
have been a production on Broadway. Others who
were there may have their own takes, but it was quite the special event. As others post photos
or describe what happened, I think all will agree
it was a weekend to remember. That's it for now, but more to come. david 'It was a graveyard smash!'
Report from E-Gor
This was posted by George 'E-Gor' Chastain at the Universal Monster Army group at yahoo!,
but since it deals with the Old Dark Clubhouse
'Frankenstein' dramatization, I thought I'd repost it here:
------------------------------------
I had to write to acknowledge one of the Olympian high points of this past Bash weekend,
and of any other movie convention I've ever attended. I was extremely fortunate to be one
of the small group of people being regaled by Professor Anton Griffin and his show viddys
in the Old Dark Clubhouse on Saturday night when we were interrupted by a surprise guest
-- an astounding incarnation of the Frankenstein Monster personified by our own "Baron Von
Wolfstein," Timothy Herron. His awesome visage was the finest recreation of Jack Pierce's
makeup in the original film that I've ever seen, built lovingly and accurately by Tim himself using
the same sort of materials and techniques Pierce used. As if that wasn't enough, an
imaginary stage was quickly set with a few introductory words, and for a dreamlike span
of time everyone present was held spellbound by Tim's beautiful, extremely moving performance
of the Creature's agonized final speech from the climax of Mary Shelley's novel, delivered in
a voice hauntingly evocative of Boris Karloff! Tim delivered a letter-perfect, nine-page
monologue but his performance was not QUITE a one-man show -- he was ably supported by Joseph
Fotinos (aka Prof. Griffin) as Captain Walton, and by multi-talented Richard Olson as the
corpse of Victor Frankenstein. Richard was so perfect for this part that he actually stunk
(just kidding, pal)! Richard Gordon witnessed the performance, and thought that it was worthy of Broadway. I
certainly agree -- someone MUST stage and capture Tim's performance for posterity; it has to be
seen to be believed. I think he had already performed it earlier this year at Wonderfest,
and I'm sure he'll be doing it again and again as the word gets around -- WATCH FOR IT!
Tim and I have been corresponding by e-mail for years -- he first wrote to me when he found
information about his late 70's horror host show in Indianapolis posted on my "E-gor's Chamber of
TV Horror Hosts" site -- anybody who saw the show never forgot it, and I had heard from a bunch of
his old fans. We finally met at a small one-shot show in Pittsburgh a few years ago, and several
times since then. I had seen his show tapes so I knew he was a unique and very original TV
horror host, as well as a very talented designer, sculptor and makeup artist. And I knew he was a
gifted actor with many years of stage experience
-- but I was totally blown away by the excellence
of this performance, one of the finest "monster"
performances I've ever seen in any medium, I kid
you not. Bravo, Tim. Tim Herron is a deeply spiritual person,
as he occasionally reveals in his e-mail, but
he astounded me another time this weekend with
a totally different display of his unsuspected
powers. We were standing in the hallway chatting,
Tim in one of his amazing costumes (full rotting
corpse regalia this time) when I mentioned that
I had a splitting headache (possibly caused by
all the fun I'd been having, or maybe it was all
the martinis I had consumed the night before). Tim straightened and took a moment to meditate
on the situation, and then he put his hand very
close to, but not touching, my aching forehead. I automatically closed my eyes, completely
trusting in whatever he was going to do. He
told me to tell him when I felt either heat or
a tingling sensation radiating from his hand,
which I did within about 30 seconds. Then he
began to talk very softly and calmly, evoking
a series of images that turned my pain into
visual metaphors that melted away with his words. The entire experience was very brief, perhaps
a minute and a half, but when he stopped talking
my headache was totally gone and never returned
all the rest of the weekend. He told me he'd
done the same thing about a hundred times
over the last few years, always successfully,
and that remembering the images he suggested
would empower me to work the same spiritual
magic on my own pain in the future. My blessings
on you too, Tim. I'm privileged to know you and
call you my friend and Monster Kid brother, and
I'm really delighted that you're a regular
"Featured Creature" at Monster Bash now. I trust
that next year you'll be able to repeat your
Frankenstein performance for a much larger
audience, and that you'll dig deep into your
vast knowledge of monster lore and delight us
with many more such characterizations in the
future.

Re: Other Bash Moments
----------------------
Saturday night at Bash 2005 will always be
remembered as the night the Frankenstein monster
came to visit. We had visitors over the years
(I'll never forget the sight of Graf Orloc
downing a Rolling Rock at the 2000 Bash), but
this was very special. Earlier in the day Baron
Von Wolfstein's alter ego Timothy Herron walked
up to me and asked if he could do a dramatic
performance (with Prof. Griffin's assistance)
as Mary Shelley's monster in the ODCH.
Happy to oblige I was stunned by his appearance
later that night. He came as the Karloff monster
and, using the Karloff voice (the best I've heard--ever), presented the monster's
soliloquy from
the end of Shelley's book (eight pages of dialogue). The performance was emotional and the effect
astounding. I think everybody was stunned by the
calibre of the performance. Herron felt that
the ODCH was the right place for the show,
believing everybody there would understand
what he was trying to evoke. It's one thing
to read Shelley's words but another to hear them
in the voice of one of Universal's classic movie
monsters. Tim Herron is already at work on
next year's surprise and it's going to be as
wonderful as this year's. GARY L. PRANGE

My report on the Bash (with tons of photos)
is now on-line at: www.monstersfromthevault.com
Once there, click on the "MFTV Road Trips" link
for the full report.
Jim Clatterbaugh; Editor/Publisher MFTV
www.monstersfromthevault.com {Here, is the excerpt regarding my contribution}
After the dealers' room closed for the
evening, it was off to The Old Dark Clubhouse. The Clubhouse is the place where fans who've
been in contact throughout the year (via phone,
e-mail, message boards, etc.) gather to share
in the celebration of the guests, renew old
friendships, start new friendships, share
Monster memories, and show off some of their
Monster memorabilia. In other words---it's heaven on earth!
While the Monster Bash itself provides enough
activities to keep all attendees busy from sunup
to sundown, it's the lucky few who gather in the
Clubhouse who get to share that special Monster
Kid bond. As in the past, this year was no
exception. Of course, I can't leave out our
gracious host, Gary Prange, and my lovely wife
Marian. While there were many highlights this year-
like receiving several wonderful Old Dark
Clubhouse 'premiums' (a Bash tradition that
grows every year) from various Monster Kids,
the wonderful conversations that took place
nonstop in the ODCH all weekend, the various
Horror Host clips shown, and the movies and
TV shows watched (including episodes of Milton
the Monster, Fearless Fly, and The Groovie Goolies)--- two events stand out this year.
The first was Sara Karloff visiting the ODCH
and posing for tons of photos with Gary Prange's
life-size Morgan figure from The Old Dark House
(which happened to be the theme of this year's Old
Dark Clubhouse). She seemed totally in awe of the
figure and was really touched by it. You really
can see Boris in her face these days, as she
seems to resemble him more and more each time
I see her. The second standout event, and probably one
of the greatest Monster Convention memories I'll
ever have (and I've got a lot!), happened in the
ODCH while we were watching clips of Horror Host
Professor Anton Griffin's show: We were interrupted by a surprise guest-- the Frankenstein Monster (Timothy Herron, aka
Horror Host Baron Von Wolfstein, in a fantastic
self-makeup job that rivaled Pierce's own
creation). After a quick description of how
the makeup was done, and a few introductory
words, Tim's beautiful, extremely moving
performance of the Creature's final speech from
the climax of Mary Shelley's novel stunned a
captive audience of Monster Kids!
... On top of everything else the speech was
delivered in a voice that was unmistakably
Boris Karloff's! Tim delivered the nine-page
monologue with perfection and was assisted by
Joseph Fotinos as Captain Walton and Richard
Olson as the corpse of Victor Frankenstein. Producer Richard Gordon happened to be present
in the Clubhouse during the performance and
exclaimed that it was worthy of Broadway!
For all of you who were at the Bash but
missed this special treat, several attendees that
evening videotaped the performance, so hopefully
copies will be floating around in the future. Also, one can only hope that the performance
will be repeated on a much larger scale at a
future Monster Bash so that more people can enjoy
this truly spectacular performance.

Re: Report from the Bash (Photos too)
As producer of Monster Kid Home Movies I
have to say that this has been one of the most
exciting and emotional Bashes I’ve ever attended.
The response to the DVD was overwhelming. Sharing a stage with so many of my Monster Kid brothers
was, as Carl Denham might say, the thrill of a
lifetime. So many wonderful things to recall... Of course Tim Herron’s performance on
Saturday night will be long remembered. It was
hypnotic hearing those eloquent words being
spoken by a Karloff Frankenstein.
Richard Gordon who told us tales of working
with Karloff on THE HAUNTED STRANGLER. The photo
session with the Sara Karloff and the ODCH gang. So
many other things that have already been mentioned. I’m so blessed to be surrounded by this beautiful
extended family. As Philip Marlowe says, “The stuff
that dreams are made of.”.

This philosopher/actor/poet/humorist/make-up

around his talent like candy from a parade float.
He'll break your heart in half with a tragic
observation, then slap it back together with a
witty quip and a deep Zacherly laugh. You've
already heard about Tim's bravura performance
as Mary Shelley's Creature Saturday night in
the Old Dark Clubhouse. Terry and I kicked
ourselves for missing that, but it turned out
to be serendipitous. Sunday night, Tim treated
Jane, Max, Terry and myself to our own private
performance. Sans the Jack Pierce-style makeup
he wore in the Clubhouse, Tim's Sunday
performance was raw, real and intimate. There
was no theatricality standing between him and
his audience. Without the Halloween trappings,
the sheer emotional honesty of Shelley's words
hit us full force. Jane was so overcome she had
to leave the room to collect herself. I'm sure
the Clubhouse performance was fantastic, but I
wouldn't trade it for our private experience. Baron Von Wolfstein is always welcome to post
at UMA, but I hope his good friend Tim will drop
in once in awhile. There is room here for both.

Frankenstein meets Professor Griffin
Tue, 28 Jun 2005
Not only did I miss out on the Bash as
a whole, but it looks like I also missed out
on what is being described as the event within
the event, a display of theatrics which Richard
Gordon said should be performed on Broadway. -- What was this performance? Why, a surprise
treat for the people in the Old Dark Clubhouse
put on by our own Professor Griffin and Baron
von Wolfstein. The two of them performed the
final scene from Mary Shelly's "Frankenstein"
with the Baron in an incredible recreation of
the Karloff monster (I saw the pics!) delivering
a 9-page monologue (and we thought he was verbose
here!) I hope someone captured this event on video
and is willing to pass along a copy to me so I
can see it for myself. Professor, when you
said you had a few things in mind to offer up
as treats to the Old Dark Clubhouse, I had no
idea this is what you had in mind. Bravo!

Tue, 28 Jun 2005
I always think of the Calvin & Hobbes title,
THE DAYS ARE SIMPLY PACKED...and that's what
they are at the Bash but you pick and choose,
and that's how one finds the valuable spare time
to meet up with valuable friends! ... And speaking of role playing, the remarkably
transformable faces and personalities of Baron
Timotheus (who was reported unable to attend,
but who at last DID make it!) and Prof. Griffin
(who was there bright and early) were admired
and enjoyed wherever they went. I met them,
each, sans makeup, and it was rather unsettling to
find that these monsters' alter-egos are, indeed,
human. Or at least human-like! Friendly and smilin'
fellows, both of 'em.
I didn't get to see the performance they did
from the original FRANKENSTEIN novel, in the ODC,
but it has been reported elsewhere as a vast
triumph. Congrats, guys! It was good to meet you,
both, in the flesh and in the greasepaint... And
Griffin-- what is it with those smoked glasses and
sharky smile that lend an eldritch quality to the
Professor's persona?! & Timotheus/Wolfstein-
- here's a mental image or two with which to
conjure:
I saw him twice during a brief period of time--the first time, it seemed that shreds of pale
flesh hung in tatters from his cadaverous face! And mere moments later, transformation complete
(?), he had turned a ghastly green and seemed
ready to melt into a mass of putrescence right
on the spot!

I was there too, George, and I agree - the
dramatization by Baron Von Wolfstein and Prof. Griffin absolutely blew us away! This was more
moving than any Hollywood adaptation of
Frankenstein that I have seen in the past 20
years. Tim and Joe, you must perform this again
at Monster Bash, Wonderfest or some other
convention in the near future. Fandom NEEDS to

Re: Report from the Bash (Photos too)
Aaarrrgh! That's all I can muster after
missing the Bash and reading all of the reports
and seeing the photos. Yes, there's always next
year, but we were really looking forward to
getting there this year (had a table and
everything) and wanted so much to meet everyone
I've met here on the boards. Our schedule looked good
on paper (three months ago), but typical production
problems came up for the new picture (the first time
LACK of rain and overcast weather has caused us to
reschedule!) and we had to work through the Bash
weekend. My loss, seems like all had a terrific time. ... I had missed Tim's Frankenmonster monologue
at Cinema Wasteland, and had promised to catch
it at MonsterBash; from all reports, it was
wonderful. One day Tim---

The Bash Bash Bash was a blast blast blast. Greetings Night Creatures,
- Well, I made it to my first Monster Bash
and WOW what a show. An amazing time and a
thrilling weekend. Speaking of treats, working
with Baron Von Wolfstein in any way is a treat
but he was kind enough to allow me to support him
in his amazing Frankenstein scene. It was a honor
to share the stage with him.
- It was a splendid Bash, a memorable one for me
as it was my first. I most certainly plan on
attending NEXT year as well, and every year after
that. Who knows? If things work well with this
here National Horror Cable Channel that I work
for, perhaps I can even make the guest list one
day? Thank you for an amazing convention.

Dear CHFB & ODCH FANG-MILY,
... I did not know, that, more than one page
existed of re-caps, of the AD 2005 MONSTER BASH.
I discovered them, today, 5 months later, with
their humbling contents of effusive compliments. I was moved to tears; genuine tears, at such
praise as yours. Thank you, one & all, who were
there; who saw and felt the depth of Mary
Shelley's stirring, immortal words, which she
put into the mouth of 'the Other'; The Creature'
... 'The MONSTER'.
--- I was at a low ebb, this week:
* Food poisoning, just prior to Thanks-Giving,
* the recent loss of a significent relationship,
* having to find new housing,
* financial uncertainty...
... Then, to unearth, by surprise, the continued
BASH Thread, here, at CHFB, filled with
Heart-felt Love and Unalloyed Appreciation
for my Dramatic Efforts into Classic Monsterdom
... well, they nourished & restored my sad,
tired heart. Thank you, again. ... Decades ago, when I first read the Monster's
final solliloquy, I knew that I must learn and
perform it... Someday. The return of SARA JANE
KARLOFF to THE MONSTER BASH (my 2nd) prompted my
heart, as being the perfect occasion to memorize
the scene; suffuse it with all the vitality I
could muster; and, present it, in Homage, to her,
in Honour of her Father, who { along with BELA &
LON(s) } inspired me to take up Acting as a
Profession, more than forty years ago. * I began learning 'The Speech', last November
(AD 2004), late, around BORIS & SARA'S Birthday.
Reading it, once a night, before bed, for many
weeks, I tried, first, to rehearse it, in private,
as I waited outside my workplace, before the
manager arrived.
* Pleased with what had, by osmosis, "set in",
I began to whisper it to myself, on the bus,
both morning and evening. Finally, I put away
the script... my 'Dumbo's Feather'.
* Each rehearsal revealed a new emotive depth,
or, insightful direction, as to the most honest,
efficient ways to perform it; to allow me to enter
into That Sacred Space of: "The Illusion of The
First Time" ... to make it appear, that, the
viewer was eaves-dropping, upon a private, yet
significent moment, in Time & Space.
* This scene has enriched my Life, MARY SHELLEY
was a certifable Genius, and, how could I not
honour BORIS & JACK with my choice of performance
characterization. * On Halloween, I had the unique pleasure of
re-enacting the scene, again, this time at the
University of Dayton, for my dear Friend,
DR. J. RITTER WERNER, who teaches a yearly
autumn class, entitled, RELIGION AND THE ARTS.
I performed the scene twice, in a hour & 15
minutes. The first time through, I used measured
cadences and subtle, smoldering emotiveness to give
the students a chance to hear and digest the script.
Then, for the second go, I united all the emotions
to their appropriate thoughts, to show the MONSTER
as a truly conflicted, driven, mis-begotten Being,
who has fallen into satan's trap, of repaying evil
for evil, and, living, to regret it. Rage,
maniacal laughter, tears; the entire gamut of the
human emotional spectrum was poured through me,
leaving the students, likewise, on the verge of,
or, in, tears, themselves.
* Each time I am called upon to perform it,
the make-up reflects the KARLOFF Visage a bit
'Truer'; I look foreward to THE MONSTER BASH,
with, hopefully, the most accurate face, yet. * Thank you, for all of your kind words. They
mean more to me, than, I can express in words.

Many thanx to Tim and the Baron for such an
extensive and heartfelt post. For those who
missed their performance as a tortured Doctor
Frankenstein and a mournful Victorian monster,
we hope indeed the opportunity arises again for
a repeat showing. Also, there were several folks
in the Old Dark Clubhouse who videotaped the
performance that night. We wonder if any of
those are postable as QuickTime files? Either

Dear CHFB & ODCH FANG-MILY,
... As an addendum {which is easier to care for,
than a duodenum}: I keep recalling, what RICHARD
GORDON told me, on Sunday, at MONSTER BASH,
AD 2005, so, I shall share it with you, now. Sans make-up, I entered the Celebrities Room,
and, made a bee-line, straight to him, to
introduce myself, and, to thank him, personally,
for his wonderful compliment, of the night before,
that:
"The scene was so good, that, it should have
been produced on Broadway." After I thanked him,
his eyes settled upon mine, with a very piercing
look; a gaze, of immensely sincere depth, and,
as if, to drive the point home, of his great
enjoyment, for what PROFESSOR GRIFFIN and I had
shared, he formulated these words, with deliberate,
measured intensity:
"You have given me something, which I will,
never, forget." After that, further words were
useless, and, I could hardly speak... Needless
to say, I look foreward to his return, to this
upcoming MONSTER BASH, and, hopefully,
delighting him, as well as, all of you, my
MONSTER-KID FANG-MILY, further... whether,
with a reprise of THE FRANKENSCENE, or, some
other CLASSIC MONSTER Surprise, which I'm in
the process of concocting!

It's funny...I keep thinking of how much
fun it would be if you were in the musical
as well. You could probably have played Emile
very well. I can attest that you have a very
convincing french accent! Those accolades
written about you from the Monster Bash last
year are so very flattering... and, I must say,
so very true. You moved me to tears that night
when you delivered that final speech from Mary
Shelley's "Frankenstein." It is difficult to
move me to tears unless I am seeing it with
the staging and props and mood, etc., but you
transplanted your heart and soul into every
word that the monster spoke, you felt every
emotion as though it were your own.
You became Frankenstein's monster completely
and you moved me as though I were actually seeing
the monster in front of me and you made me feel
every ounce of his pain, his torment, his anguish
and I actually felt as if I understood the
character in a brand new way.
I didn't think that I properly thanked you
for sharing such a gift with me. I felt truly
honored that you would share that speech with me.
I felt honored by many things that you did and
said during the time that I spent with you. Thank you so much for being you and for sharing
your life with me for that brief time. I honestly hope that we can share a theatre
experience sometime in the near future. I would
truly love to be in a play with you.
