NOTES:
1. The Magic Lasso was a fairly simple effect. It involved a length of parachute cord that had been cut and a length of copper wire inserted so that it could be posed and bent. The cord was slightly fluorescent, allowing it to “glow” under certain conditions…but not these conditions. The shots with it looked so underwhelming that I “painted” neon green over the cord, taking care to watch where the hands were.
2. Notice the too-cute “MIAK BONE” in his mouth. Little Ernest Scared Stupid. If only I had an Ernest figurine I’d have included him.
3. And there you have it. The King of the Monsters, reduced to the punchline of a very funny extended joke. I spent a while wondering how long I would be able to keep the fruitcake thing going. It became an exercise in piling frustration upon frustration.
4. Osaka sticks close to the original Twelve Days here so you'll think she'll be done. I loved the idea of Dinah Shore going wildly off-script, not even noticing the mannequin in the Pee-Wee costume, so that stayed.
