How to Make a Monster Page #7

---

HEH HEH! YOU'LL BE BACK.

YOU'LL BE BACK

IN ALL YOUR GLORY.

ONE PICTURE CAN DO IT.

MAYBE ONE OF THOSE

FOREIGN IMPORTS,

AND THE WHOLE MONSTER

CYCLE IS ON ITS WAY AGAIN,

AND PRODUCERS:

WILL BE CLAMORING

FOR THE OLD:

MAKEUP WIZARD.

IT'S NICE OF YOU

TO SAY IT.

WELL,

GOOD LUCK, PETE.

WELL, GOOD-BYE, PETE.

GOOD-BYE, RIVERO.

TAKE IT EASY.

BYE, RICHARDS.

OH, UH, RICHARDS...

ON THE TOP SHELF OF MY

CLOSET IN THE MAKEUP ROOM,

THERE'S A BOTTLE

OF BOURBON.

I GOT IT AS A PRESENT.

NEVER OPENED IT.

I DON'T TOUCH THE STUFF.

GO AHEAD, TAKE IT.

IT'S FOR YOU.

HAVE A SNORT ON OLD PETE.

THANKS, PETE. BYE.

IS PETE DUMOND:

THE MAKEUP MAN STILL HERE?

JUST CHECKED OFF

THE LOT.

I KNOW WHERE:

HIS MAKEUP ROOM IS.

LET'S GO THERE FIRST.

IT LOOKS LIKE HE TOOK

EVERYTHING WITH HIM.

YEAH,

A CLEAN SWEEP.

EXCEPT FOR THIS.

LET'S HAVE A LOOK.

Pete:
WELL,

HERE WE ARE, BOYS.

YOU CAN LEAVE THE BOXES

THERE, BOYS.

[LOCK CLICKS]

Larry:
AHEM. WELL,

WHAT ARE THESE?

MY FAMILY.

MY CHILDREN.

I'M DEVOTED TO THEM.

I'VE ARRANGED THEM HERE

WITH GREAT CARE,

AS YOU SEE.

I SEE.

YOU--YOU CALLED THEM

YOUR CHILDREN?

WHY, YES.

LATER I'LL TELL YOU

THEIR HISTORY--

HOW EACH ONE CAME ABOUT.

BUT NOW LET'S JUST

LOOK AT THEM.

THIS ROOM IS LIKE

A CATHEDRAL TO ME.

THIS IS WHERE I COME

WHEN I NEED HELP

FROM A SOURCE STRONGER

THAN MYSELF.

DON'T YOU THINK

WE SHOULD BE GETTING

SOME REFRESHMENTS?

HMM?

OH, YES.

YES, OF COURSE.

I LOSE MYSELF HERE.

AFTER ALL,

I'M YOUR HOST.

MAKE YOURSELVES:

AT HOME, BOYS.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME

HE'S HAD GUESTS HERE.

YOU YOUNG MEN:

SHOULD FEEL HONORED.

WE DO.

WE--

WE CERTAINLY DO.

LOOK AROUND, BOYS.

STUDY THESE HEADS.

YOU'LL RECOGNIZE SOME

GREAT NAMES AMONG THEM.

ARTISTS WHO,

EVEN BEHIND:

THE MASK OF HORROR,

ACHIEVED ETERNAL FAME.

STUDY THEM CLOSELY.

THEY'LL BE

AN INSPIRATION TO YOU.

[WHISPERS] Larry...

I SAY WE CUT OUT.

OH, MAN, YOU SAW.

YOU HEARD.

IF WE DON'T DIG THE

OLD MAN'S COLLECTION,

WE'LL HURT HIS FEELINGS.

IT GIVES ME THE CREEPS.

YEAH, HE DOES, TOO.

I WOULDN'T HAVE COME,

ONLY HE SAID IT WAS

SOME KIND OF CELEBRATION--

A PARTY.

YEAH.

IT'S A PARTY,

ALL RIGHT.

ALL THE GUESTS:

ARE STUFFED HEADS.

AH, WE SHOULDN'T

HAVE COME,

NO MATTER HOW MUCH

HE PRESSURED.

HE MAKES IT TOUGH

TO REFUSE.

I KNOW.

YOU KNOW, OLD PETE'S

GOT WAYS ABOUT HIM--

I DON'T KNOW,

STRANGE WAYS.

LIKE WHEN HE WAS MAKING

ME UP FOR THE PICTURE,

PUTTING ON THAT:

FOUNDATION CREAM.

DID HE GIVE YOU:

A LOT OF STUFF:

ABOUT HOW THIS WOULD BE

YOUR LAST JOB,

AND THAT ENEMIES WOULD

DRIVE YOU:

OUT OF THE BUSINESS,

AND THAT ONLY HE

COULD PROTECT YOU?

YEAH. YEAH, HE DID.

HEY, I MEANT TO

CHECK WITH YOU ABOUT THAT,

ONLY I FORGOT.

I--I DON'T MEAN I FORGOT

IN A CARELESS WAY.

I...JUST FORGOT.

LIKE, WHEN HE FINISHED,

EVERYTHING KIND OF LEFT ME.

YOU KNOW, LIKE,

WENT OUT OF MY HEAD.

YEAH, ME, TOO.

IT WAS ONLY SINCE THE

LAST SCENE WAS SHOT--

HEY, TONY, TONY.

LOOK, WHEN HE FINISHED,

DID HE TELL YOU--

PETE, I NEVER

CRITICIZE YOU.

BUT...I BELIEVE

YOU MADE A MISTAKE

IN BRINGING:

LARRY AND TONY HERE.

WHY?

I DON'T THINK

THEY CAN BE TRUSTED.

NONSENSE,

NOT TRUST THESE BOYS.

THEY'VE ALREADY

DEMONSTRATED QUITE FAVORABLY

THAT THEY OBEY MY ORDERS.

YOU KNOW I HAVE THEM

UNDER CONTROL.

BUT YOU WON'T. NOW THAT

THE PICTURE'S FINISHED

AND YOU HAVEN'T

HELPED THEIR CAREERS,

YOUR CONTROL:

WILL WEAR OFF.

AND THE POLICE ARE SURE

TO TALK TO THEM.

YES, QUITE POSSIBLE.

AND WHEN THE POLICE

BEGIN TO PRESSURE THEM,

THEY'RE BOUND TO CRACK.

THAT'S WHY

I WANT TO LEAVE,

TO VISIT MY BROTHER ON

HIS RANCH IN ARIZONA.

RIVERO, MY OLD FRIEND...

I SEE YOUR POINT.

YOU WANT TO LEAVE ME TO

FACE WHATEVER COMES ALONE.

OH, NO, PETE.

I JUST WANT TO GET AWAY

FOR A FEW WEEK'S REST.

AND YOU DO THIS:

NOT BECAUSE OF:

DISLOYALTY TO ME,

BUT BECAUSE YOU DON'T

TRUST LARRY AND TONY.

NOW, ISN'T THAT

WHY YOU WANT TO LEAVE?

YES, THAT'S IT.

THESE YOUNG MEN ARE NOT

STRONG THE WAY YOU ARE.

NO, OF COURSE NOT.

IF ONLY THEY HAD

YOUR DEVOTION TO ME--

YOUR IRON NERVES.

BUT THEY HAVEN'T.

WHAT A SOURCE OF STRENGTH

AND COMFORT IT IS TO ME

THAT I CAN:

BE SURE OF YOU.

OF COURSE YOU CAN,

PETE.

AND SHOULD THE POLICE

SPEAK TO YOU ALONE,

YOU WOULDN'T

REVEAL A THING.

NO, NOT A THING.

EVEN IF THEY GAVE YOU

A THIRD DEGREE,

THEY COULDN'T SQUEEZE

THE TINIEST BIT:

OF CONFESSION FROM YOU,

COULD THEY?

COURSE NOT.

BUT THESE BOYS...

THEY'LL CRACK.

YES.

YES, PETE.

AND I TELL YOU NOW,

IF ANYTHING:

HAPPENS TO YOU:

AFTER I LEAVE,

THEY'LL BE THE ONES

TO BLAME.

THE BOYS.

NOT YOU.

NOT ME.

I'LL REMEMBER THAT...

OLD FRIEND.

OH!

[GRUNTS]

[LOCK CLICKING]

[DOOR CLOSES]

YOUR REFRESHMENTS,

BOYS.

GO AHEAD.

YOU MUST BE THIRSTY.

YEAH, MY--

MY THROAT IS GETTING DRY.

WHERE'S RIVERO?

OH, HE'S IN

THE KITCHEN:

PREPARING DINNER.

WE'RE--

WE'RE NOT HUNGRY.

NOT AT ALL HUNGRY.

WELL, YOU DON'T HAVE TO

BOTHER AND...

IN FACT, LARRY AND ME

HAVE SORT OF A, WELL,

DINNER DATE.

BUT YOU MUSTN'T THINK

OF LEAVING YET.

I BROUGHT YOU BOTH HERE

FOR A PURPOSE.

I CAN'T LET YOU GO

UNTIL THAT'S

ACCOMPLISHED.

WHAT PURPOSE?

I HAVE A GREAT HONOR

TO BESTOW UPON YOU.

LIKE WHAT?

I INTEND TO ADD YOU TWO

TO MY COLLECTION.

ADD US?

HOW?

IT'S ALWAYS

BEEN MY AMBITION

TO CROWN MY COLLECTION

WITH A WEREWOLF:

AND A FRANKENSTEIN

MONSTER:

THAT I CREATED:

COMPLETELY--

SOUL AS WELL AS BODY.

BUT WHAT ABOUT:

THOSE?

OH, THEY'RE ONLY IMAGES,

FASHIONED FROM MEMORY.

YOU WANT...

REAL HEADS ON YOUR WALL?

AS REAL:

AS I CAN GET THEM.

FOR THE PRESENT,

I ONLY WANT TO:

TAKE YOUR MEASUREMENTS

TO GET EXACT REPLICAS

OF YOUR HEADS.

YOU'VE--

YOU'VE GOT THE STILLS.

OH, NO.

NO, PHOTOGRAPHS

ARE NOT ENOUGH.

MY NEW ADDITIONS

WILL BE LIFELIKE.

JUST THINK.

IN THE YEARS TO COME,

YOU'LL BOTH

BE UP THERE.

A REFUGE--

A PERMANENT HOME.

NOW, LOOK, PETE.

WE'RE THANKFUL TO YOU

AND ALL THAT,

AND, WELL, WE KNOW

IT'S AN HONOR...

WELL, BUT TO

LEVEL WITH YOU,

WE DON'T FEEL

QUITE RIGHT IN HERE.

WE'D LIKE TO GET OUT.

Larry:
TO TELL YOU

THE TRUTH, WE TRIED...

BUT YOU LOCKED THE DOOR.

Tony:
YEAH,

SO JUST LET US OUT.

IS THAT HOW:

YOU REPAY ME?

NOW, LOOK, PETE.

YOU DID SOMETHING TO US.

TONY AND I TALKED IT OVER.

WE CAN'T EXACTLY

PUT OUR FINGERS ON IT,

BUT LET'S JUST SAY

WE WANT TO LEAVE.

AFTER ALL:

MY BIG PLANS FOR YOU,

WERE YOU TWO TRYING TO

BREAK AWAY FROM ME,

FROM MY INFLUENCE?

NOW, DON'T TRY TO

CONFUSE US ANYMORE.

WE DON'T WANT YOU

OR YOUR INFLUENCE.

NOW,

JUST OPEN THE DOOR!

I SUPPOSE:

IF I LET YOU GO:

LIKE A PAIR:

OF SNIVELING BABES,

YOU'LL GO RUNNING

TO THE POLICE!

WHAT'S THE POLICE

GOT TO DO WITH IT?

AS YOU KNOW, THERE WERE

3 MURDERS COMMITTED.

WHAT'S THAT

GOT TO DO WITH US?

I'LL TELL YOU.

THE NEW EXECUTIVES

THREW ME OUT.

I SWORE I'D

BRING THE STUDIO DOWN

OVER THEIR HEADS.

I DID.

THE STUDIO'S

PRACTICALLY CLOSED,

AND THEY'LL NEVER ISSUE

ANOTHER ORDER.

3 MURDERS,

AND WE'RE ALL INVOLVED.

EACH OF US MUST:

TAKE CREDIT FOR ONE.
