Game: Before & After (Movies and TV)

[WordWolf]

Ok, here's a triple, with 2 movies and 1 old television show.

A brilliant young neurosurgeon is approached to use his grandfather's work to cure

a man cursed with lycanthropy and let him die. In the course of his research, he

ends up uncovering the frozen corpse of his grandfather's work. He manages to thaw

it out, and it ends up fighting the man who asked for his help.

With all of them surviving, the cursed man goes off and hosts a television show

of musicians and some comedy, and becomes famous for his work on radio, his

gravelly voice, and his habit of howling on-air.

I THINK you guys might be able to work it out without actor names.

"Young Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman Jack Show"?

"Young Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman Jack Show"?

George

That's it.

I suspect "Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman" was the first movie that revived a dead

monster at the beginning, for better or worse spawning monster sequels.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

That's it.

I suspect "Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman" was the first movie that revived a dead

monster at the beginning, for better or worse spawning monster sequels.

I remember seeing it decades ago. As I recall, the last scene has the wolfman pulling the Frankenstein monster over a waterfall. I also seem to remember a "sequel" where someone finds both the wolfman and the monster frozen in ice. Am I hallucinating? :)

New one soon.

[WordWolf]

There were all kinds of movies later, but I'm not aware of one that included the scene you mentioned.

There may well have been one, I didn't see all of them.

Then again, the description of "House of Frankenstein"(1944) seems to describe that in one scene.

I believe that that's the one! It's funny how I won't remember something that happened a week ago, but I can remember a scene from a movie I haven't seen in over forty years.

In this TV movie, a band of dwarves jumps from era to era looking for treasure to steal. They wind up in Storybrooke, ME, where fairy tales are real.

Not getting it. Sorry.

Starring Noah Hathaway, Bruce Willis and Michelle Pfeiffer.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I've probably heard of both movies, but I can't think of them.

George

[Raf]

With a little help from his luck dragon, a little boy reading a fantasy book helps a married couple realize whether they belong together.

[WordWolf]

Right, I had the first one but not the second.

So, let's take a guess here....

"The Neverending Story of Us"???

[Raf]

Yes

[WordWolf]

Here's a triple.

In this movie, a lawyer faces reprisals from an insane former client of his who was convicted,

but now has been paroled.

He attempts to evade the ex-convict- by accompanying a gonzo journalist on a

road trip.

Then he celebrates his family's survival by taking them on a trip to somewhere

he visited with the journalist.

[Raf]

Nice.

I assume that the last one is Vegas Vacation, but I don't know the others. Apparently, Raf does...

George

[WordWolf]

The first movie is well-known, at least the remake was. Mrs Wolf rattled off the name from the description.

The phrase "gonzo journalism" and "gonzo journalist" points to exactly one person, which means it

points to exactly 1 movie ABOUT that person. He wrote a famous book with the same name the

movie was later given, so the name is particularly famous in a number of contexts.

You are correct about movie #3.

Cape Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Vacation

Cape Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Vacation

That's it.

Cape Fear, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Vegas Vacation.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

The phrase "gonzo journalism" and "gonzo journalist" points to exactly one person,

I assume that this would be Hunter Thompson. The only movie I knew about him was "Where the Buffalo Roam," starring Bill Murray.

George

[WordWolf]

But Terry Gilliam directed "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". I thought you were a Terry Gilliam fan.
