Hard the even imagine Ted Danson's character under that. Did they use him for that shot or someone else I wonder?

i based it on a set of rubber masks that are due out soon
I , liked the cartoony look of them

They do have something of a Scooby Doo feel to them. Like something a villain would wear, but they also the creep vibe to them too

here's a cool pic
weird seeing them without the coloured lights

Very weird seeing them without the green colour. It's a little more unsettling seeing them with that skin tone. Excellent work though. I'm sure that is Ted Danson under there too

for some reason in his making of book , tom savini always refers to them as "ghosts" rather than undead or water zombies
i assumed they are actual bodies , the way they are shot etc

So had I, I'd assumed they were zombies and that those were the actual bodies.

They are reveneants as in vengeful spirits who return to avenge their deaths. Nathan is an actual zombie.

Which makes sense, I did some looking into spirit and ghost classification and found that Revenant is the nearest idea of what they were. Kind of like Jason from Friday the 13th
But cheers for the clarification mate

Perhaps savini felt there wasn't a proper word for them ,as zombie suggests something brainless
I'm sure they were meant to be the real bodies
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I suppose that makes sense. But I wouldn't necessarily surmise any physical form of someone dead who comes back to life as a zombie. Jason Voorhees may in many respects be mindless but I wouldn't call him a zombie. Then there's The Crow. I'd probably call them revenants, but it's also not a term commonly used in horror flicks.

DC horror comics , which creepshow is an homage to , had a lot of rotted corpses coming back for revenge , but they still seemed to have their intelligence { I want my cake }
Their doesn't seem to really be a word to described them!
"undead" perhaps
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Although there is no decent word to describe them they all have similar reasons for coming back, that being revenge.
But the old man and his cake obsession seemed to break the rule.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Revenant does seem to be the correct word to describe them , It literally means someone who has come back from the dead
i can see it works for the Crow , but not for old Nate and his father's day cake
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nate does seem less revenant like than the others. He doesn't fit into the profile like the others do at all.
But his make up always made me think if the first zombie you see the Return of The Living Dead.

Richard Stanley { Hardware, Dust devil} has made H P Lovecrafts "the colour out of space" into a movie

I haven't read that yet. But Nicolas Cage and Lovecraft sounds like a winning combination! I look forward to that. I'll have to read the story first chance I get

If it was adapted big budget , it would almost be like a 1930's version of the Chernobyl miniseries , but with a meteor , instead of a reactor meltdown.
The film seems updated and only using the basic storyline
the stephen king segment of creepshow seemed inspired by this story , but added the plant motiff

Just read the story last night and I immediately thought of 1987's The Curse with Wil Wheaton. Now although I liked the film it seemed like they didn't do the story justice. And it certainly didn't feel like Lovecraft

theres been a few loose adaptations
this version doesn't seem to be sticking hat close to the story either
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They way in read, it seemed like it would have been hard to put it onto screen as it was, so I can understand why they decided to do a few changes. But hopefully not too many

That seems to be a problem with Hp Lovecraft
He wanted his monsters to be very different from the sort of stuff in most pulp stories and truly alien
but tried to get around that problem by making descriptions so vague , theres very little to work from when adapting the stories visually
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In same ways it works well but in others it can be frustrating to try and summon up the image described. Like the odd objects and artifacts mentioned in stories, or the structures its can be very heard to put onto screen and do it justice. The Void did a pretty good job of interpreting the work a Lovecraftian style that worked surprisingly well

i'll check the void out
I notice theres a German version of the colour out of space

i don't know what to make of that from the trailer though
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I imagine they chose to make it in black and white to assist the story with the bizarre colours that began to show after the rock hit the earth. Which I think is a clever way of introducing the bizarre element of unknown colours to the world but the reality would be we wouldn't be able to see those colours as our eyes don't have the capability because our eyes only have a few of the tonal cones necessary. Shame really but I like where they've gone with the trailer, I'm hoping they'll begin introducing color for the effect of the alien intrusion.

The recent Annihilation movie from Netflix ,was apparently a knock off/rather influenced by of colour out of space
The book it was based on was even more obvious , from what I read about it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Annihilation. That's the one with Natalie Portman right?
I can see a lot of similarity between the two. Even the strange cosmic horror and an impossibility to comprehend and describe the creature at the end. Very Lovecraftian
And the strange wildlife and plants that came from the weird phenomena. I can see the common threads between the two

That's it
I've not seen it , but it seems to be popular
The writer seems to have a grudge against H P Lovecraft , even though his work is derivative of H P's stories
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not familiar with his other works, maybe his grudge depends more on the fact that he feels he can't outshine Lovecraft's work. But then again the man did invent the genre, so it'll be hard to outdo him
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He sounds lke a bullshit artist
despite his book following the plot of colour out of space , and his wife more or less running an H P Lovecraft appreciation society
he claims he's never read colour out of space
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I find that incredibly doubtful. It's like when Peter Jackson claimed he'd never seen the Ralph Bakshi version and then later saying he might have seen it after the obvious comparison between the scene where the Ring Wraiths stabbed the beds they were in.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He's sort of been cleared on the other scene where the ring wraith searches for the hobbits, as they hide under a tree
Alan Lee { Who designed most the Jackson movies}drew that scene as an illustration to the LOTR books years before and R Bakshi seemed to copy that.
Jackson then used the same illustration for his scene !
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I did recall seeing similar parts in that scene but it's been so long since I watched it that I'm not sure if my mind is thinking of Peter Jackson's movie or the version by Bakshi
