Gene Wilder as Dr. Frederick Frankenstein
I am continuing along with Halloween-inspired themes for the next few weeks. Up next, are a couple of portraits of the stars from Mel Brooks’ classic spin on the horror genre, “Young Frankenstein“. Gene Wilder was an amazing comedian who could play straight as well and the ensemble cast for this film was unparalelled.
Peter Boyle as the Monster
I remember seeing this film at the Shrewsbury Theater on Route 35 in Red Bank, NJ as a kid and immediately falling in love with Mel’s spin on horror with this film. Gene Wilder’s portrayal as the good Doctor who finally follows in his family’s business of monster-making was a masterwork by this beloved actor.
Marty Feldman as Igor
These portraits were created using Adobe Illustrator, Corel Painter, and Adobe Photoshop. You can see more details on these illustrations on my personal website.
