Last night's chat with John Wrightson, son of Bernie Wrightson & sculptor/makeup VFX artist for Walking Dead, Logan, Star Trek Beyond, Underworld, Man Of Steel and more. Plus a first ever sculpting challenge! What a great time.

Bad movie I have Just Desserts: The Making of Creepshow 2007

[yetihideout]

This post will probably appeal to only, perhaps, twelve people total.

One of my favorite movies is National Lampoon's Class Reunion (1982). The movie is a mess and it apparently had problems during production in which the story and elements changed many times and John Hughes' original script barely made it to the screen.

With that said, I've always been fascinated by the movie and "what could have been". I finally bought a cheap copy of the photo-novelization with the hopes that it would have some deleted scenes represented. While it DOES show the deleted alternate opening scene (seen HERE), I only saw a few other photos that were clearly from cut scenes but nothing really worth documenting for this post.

However, I did snap a few shots of my two favorite characters played by Zane Buzby and Anne Ramsey!

Part II - I went digging into my magazine collection and found an issue of Cinefantastique, Volume 13, Issue 1 (with Stephen King, George Romero and Tom Savini on the cover promoting Creepshow) and found a great behind-the-scenes article about Class Reunion which indicates a few things that never made into the film - such as this incredible "Poodle Lady" character! She's featured in human form on the cover of the novelization and does in fact appear on some movie posters but aside from that, her character is a complete mystery. Eagle-eyed viewers will catch her in the background during the movie, especially during the dance scenes.

Part III - I posted awhile back this terrific preview comic by Berni Wrightson for promoting the recently released National Lampoon’s Class Reunion in the November 1982 issue of Heavy Metal magazine.

The End!
