Werewolves, werewolves...

Enough about my achey knee! (I never realized what a whiner I could be!) While recup'ing (and avoiding taxes), I did some oddball googling and found a couple of very different werewolf references.

The goofy one:
Back in the late 70's, the rock band KISS made a terrible movie called "KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park" This is apparently a truly horrible movie, made by the folks at Hanna Barbara (so you can imagine how bad a match this was). However... at one point the members of KISS duke it out with these bizarre albino werewolves. Totally doofy.

Here's a teeny video clip of the "battle"

The cool one:
The second werewolf bit is a band called "Goldfrapp". Alison Goldfrapp (after whom the band is named) uses a lot of animal masks in her videos, including some neat stag/reindeer heads and, for the song, "Train", has a group of hot, bikini-clad dancers wearing werewolf masks . Woof. Make my day!

woof

There just can't be enough fabulous werewolf dancers as far as I'm concerned.

{gryn} I remember the KISS amusement park werewolves - they were off-the-shelf Don Post werewolf masks :) I had one until rubber rot finally took it's toll ... I want to say that they were all supposed to be robots but it's been a long, long time since I saw it.

I have lost all respect for Paul Stanley thanks to that video. The maks on the Goldfrapp picture are also off-the-shelf. I have it in brown and in black.

PS: You should contact Goldfrapp about appearearing at FC. :)

Heh, I've heard of Kiss Meets the Phantom so many times. I must see it someday. Hopefully it won't turn out to be as much deep hurting as the Star Wars Holiday Special...

And yes, the world needs more bikin werewolf dancers. LOL furries ;)

dood! I've totally seen Phantom of the Park! It was filmed at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia. I'm not sure Six Flags owned it back then though. I also remember the original mascots of Magic Mountain. They were these giant furry "trolls" that looked more like poofy blobs.

Ms. Goldfrapp is a self-confessed lover of doggies.

The video for her song "Strict Machine" includes anthro-Malamutes-in-suits. Raaar!

I remember that KISS movie. It was the beginning of the downfall of the band. Gene Simmons was talking about it on Behind The Music on VH1. I think they even had voice actors dubbed over the band members dialogue. I remember it being on primetime TV, and my mom wouldn't let me watch it.

...and yes. I vote for Goldfrapp for the next FC!
