Exploring Stan Winston's Creature Features

[@robwalsh9843]

I still cry a bit inside whenever I see Stan Winston's prototype designs for the Tristar Godzilla movie that never was. What could have been....😭

[@theautisticbigfoot]

We all do, all us fans do, but I’m at least glad the MonsterVerse is at least paying homage to what that 1994 film could have been. I’m sure Stan Winston would have loved it.

[@wolfpredator1000]

it was a pretty simple desing tho

[@robwalsh9843]

@@wolfpredator1000 it looked like Godzilla. The actual 90's Hollywood Godzilla movie had a giant iguana with a Jay Leno chin who ran away from gunfire. Stan Winston's Godzilla updates the classic look while still honoring the original design.

[@sylvestertwilightbark6176]

I'm with you there.

[@kri249]

So that's the guy responsible for Ken Park. I remember the controversy that film sparked in Australia in the early 00s. I remember this Aussie film critic who had her own show with some other guy (similar to Siskel & Ebert) that tried to do public viewing of this film in protest of its ban and the cops showed up to stop it and confiscate her bootleg copy of the dvd. Shit was crazy back then. And it sucked that Stan Winstons toy vision never took off. I loved toys as a kid and having one of his would have blown my mind. I'd say the reason it never took off was that it never had a cartoon to be its "toy commercial." Kids mostly played with toys and cartoons were their market not low budget movies. It's sad that he died relatively young. His movie special effects made my childhood and I love this somewhat homage to an unknown passion he had that none of us even knew about. RIP Stan Winston ❤

[@jimmylittle9393]

Margaret Pomeranz was the lady critic.

[@EarJuice]

Margaret is still going popping up on tv. At least she will be immortalised with her cameo in Hercules returns.

[@Louis-wp3fq]

The Suffering was SO good. (And the monster designs were a big part of that.) If the sequel had been the game it should have been, everyone would consider it a classic series.

[@Murphyd0g]

Agreed. I never played the sequel but I really liked The Suffering.

[@Louis-wp3fq]

@Murphyd0g The original felt like it was planned out carefully. The sequel felt as if they came up with the idea after the success of the first but never originally planned to make it. It's buggy, and it frankly kind of cheapens the first game by explaining things left unexplained or vague in the original. The enemy designs are reused (though altered), the setting is a lot less frightening, and the big baddies have some terribly clichéd motivations. That said, if you're a fan, there's a lot of good stuff in the sequel, and it might be worth finding for cheap.

[@convolution223]

@@Louis-wp3fq I was a HUGE fan of the first one and carried the walkthrough with me at school just to look at the art. The sequel disappointed me. It felt like a slog and had nothing new to offer. I wonder why they never made the movie though!

[@UglyKenHart]

The Suffering was a great communal game, a handful of friends crowded around a TV late at night playing together.

[@UglyKenHart]

⁠@@aaronkelly1762that was how I saw Teenage Caveman. I knew the original from MST3K and saw it scroll by on the TV Guide Channel, and assumed it would be a straight remake. I was not prepared, and I felt legitimately icky after watching it. On the positive side, I am pretty sure it introduced me to The Misfits. That “Where Eagles Dare” needle drop is probably the only redeeming thing in the movie.

[@RAWatson1989]

This was a deep dive into some of the most influential stuff I watched as a kid and who else can remember Jon Cho before he was in Harold and Kumar?

[@gabrielboorom2683]

It's fascinating that 1950's monsters The Blob, Godzilla and The Creature From The Black Lagoon did so well that they were all still going strong by the 1980's (The Blob remake, Godzilla 1985 & The Monster Squad), and Godzilla has never stopped making movies that seem to get better and better (Godzilla Minus One).

[@davidlionheart2438]

I like all the Creature Features, but I'm freakin' crazy about "She Creature"! Rufus Sewell and Carla Gugino are great and Rya Kihlstedt as the mermaid is chilling. The fully transformed Queen Mermaid is one of Winston's most impressive creations. Genuinely enjoyable film in all respects.

[@DerekCFPegritz]

I will watch literally anything Stan Winston is involved in. It doesn't matter how shitty the movie is in terms of plot and other characteristics, I will watch it simply to enjoy Winston's wonderful effects.

[@domm6812]

Same. He was a legend. We will never have another like him.

[@ruffusgoodman4137]

He had great designs, I think the industry to this day is still trying to emulate them. None are really interesting like his work was.

[@DerekCFPegritz]

@@ruffusgoodman4137 What set Winston apart was his willingness to think outside the box when it came to familiar creatures like werewolves, vampires, and aliens. FX artists today seem more hidebound and unwilling to work outside of norms.

[@Cameroo]

"Toys" is a generous way too describe Todd's action figure lines of the 90's and mid 2000s. They were more like very nice vinyl statuettes. They're a lot more poseable and well done know-a-days IMO but those early ones didn't have much posing options. Really sad that Stan Winston couldn't get his side project stuff off the ground. I had a few of the Realm of the Claw ones. they were really well sculpted.

[@geoffreychauvin1474]

The first spawn toys were very poseable - more so than anything toybiz or Kenner were releasing at the time. They had vinyl statues too but they were smaller, like 3.5-4 inches in size and solid vinyl. I still have my spawn though due to humidity and being stored in a box in my garage for years his cape is gummy for lack of a better term like tacky to the touch

[@ruffusgoodman4137]

I don't understand why didn't Todd double down with Stan's partnership. Both seem to be great entrepreneurs, back then they should have ridden the lightning

Same as always. I'm a renowned cinephile who binges bad movies, films riffed on MST3K, fan of foreign cinema, and someone who adores horror. I loved Rick Baker for his work on An American Werewolf in London, The Howling, Michael Jackson's Thriller, and Hellboy 2004. A decade after his previous involvement with Maleficent, I plan on having him develop the practical effects to a Devil May Cry movie I'm pitching to Sony's subsidiary Screen Gems, in addition to semi-CGI, and for Sam Raimi to direct. Still working on the script tho!

As a fan of Stan Winston, I, for one, really appreciate hearing about his Creature Feature endeavors. I somehow missed these, and now have more of his work to look forward to. I think it's also good to let folks know that, even as talented as Stan's work is, cool ideas don't always play out well. Did it stop him? Did he quit and fade away? Hell no! The man's a legend!

I wasn't expecting these for the exploring videos, I adore "How to Make a Monster", "Earth vs. the Spider" and "The Day the world ended". The McFarlane toys from those films are wicked awesome replicas but unfortunately, I never got them since they were and still are kind of expensive.

[@goodcitizen477]

Stan was one of the greatest! RIP. Great video, thank you for your hard work and enthusiasm.

I remember watching these back in the day. I'm a fan of Stan Winston's work, so I loved seeing his takes on these movies. I had heard of that one cat themed toy line, but didn't know about the others. I'm not much of a collector but those designs do look really cool.

Oh man, you got me on memory lane here! I remember watching Creature Features like 2003/2004 i believe and my top favs are How to make the Monster and Earth vs. The Spider, haven't seen The Day the World Ended, She-Creature i only got part of it but not all and Teenage Caveman....meh, was kinda lackluster. Stan Wiston's someone you gotta admire and look up to since he's like us who like to see monsters, comics and action figures. If Stan was still among us and try to make own toyline in this era i bet he would've a better shot since we have social media he would've been trending on Twitter and Instagram and i admit i have not known the other toyline he released back then, i knew of Creature Features but that was it which sucks since i would've bought some of those figures. Appreciate this video, Cecil! Brings back memories when i had cable back then and watch it on Cinemax

I never realized Stan Winston had these toy lines. I loved seeing them, along with the nostalgia of not only 50's low budget flicks, but 90's/early 2000's ones too.

I'm a little surprised to hear that Winston's figures didn't sell that well; I remember them getting a HUGE spread in ToyFare magazine. and I personally thought the 'Realm of the Claw' and 'Extreme Gargoyles' lines had a lot of potential!
