...horror makeup who names are so ordinary, they could be scrawled in a motel register by a teen seeking furtive sex: Jack Pierce and Dick Smith. Pierce, during his time at Universal Pictures in the 30s and 40s, created the studio's entire monster menagerie: Boris Karloff's Frankenstein and the Mummy, Bela Lugosi's Dracula, Lon Chaney Jr.'s Wolf Man, Claude Rains' Phantom of the Opera...
...moviemaking. It apparently made enough money to encourage this sequel, and Norton plays him a little more soulfully (I think) than Eric Bana did five years ago, though it doesn't much matter to me that Bruce hates the hulky half of his schizoid personality. All monsters, from Frankenstein's onward, share that feeling and use it to enlist our sympathy. It's as routine in these movies as a fireball...
...trail, McCain likes to deflect questions about his age and health with jokes.

Like a geek in a Silicon Valley garage, a knight smithing his own armor, Tony retreats to his workroom to build himself a new casing. And he won't make Dr. Frankenstein's mistake of using shoddy materials. This will be no stitched-together, run-amok creature. It can't be Tony's ruin; it must literally save his lifesaver. When he's done, out steps Iron Man: a monster with heart...
...bright green eyes and red hair made her a pinup favorite, but British actress Hazel Court also attracted a cult following in the 1960s for her piercing shrieks and gory death scenes in horror films like The Curse of Frankenstein and for her appearances in Roger Corman films inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's macabre works, such as The Raven and The Masque of the Red Death. In addition, Court appeared in several TV series, including a British export to the U.S. called Dick and the Duchess, before retiring from show business in the 1970s to pursue a successful career...
