Shout! Factory to release The Lost Skeleton Returns Again on DVD!

Pre-orders available at Amazon.com NOW! Obey The Skeleton! Pre-order NOW! Hahahaha!!

THE LOST SKELETON RETURNS order on Amazon

Frank stars in the much-anticipated sequel to 2004's cult comedy THE LOST SKELETON OF CADAVRA. Like the original, this follow-up lovingly spoofs the sci-fi films of the 1950's. Returning are writer-director and star Larry Blamire, Fay Masterson, Brian Howe, Jennifer Blaire, Dan Conroy, Robert DeVeau, Andrew Parks and Susan McConnell. Added to the cast are myself, Kevin Quinn, Daniel Roebuck and veteran character actor HM Wynant. I play "Reet Pappin," a Government guy who enlists the help of Betty Armstrong to find her husband, Science guy Dr. Paul Armstrong, who has been missing for two years. This leads them to the Amazon, and the search for a valuable rock. But there are other forces at work, trying to get to that rock first...including The Lost Skeleton!

Check out THE LOST SKELETON RETURNS AGAIN official website, featuring photos and trailers from the upcoming film!

FRANK'S GALLERY SHOW A HUGE HIT!

The exhibit showcased my oil paintings, but there were many of my caricatures on display as well.  Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, the Chaneys, Vincent Price and many other classic horror icons were represented, as well as the sci-fi films of the 1950's and the incredible creatures of Ray Harryhausen.
 
The opening night party featured music, wine and other interesting concoctions.  Among the guests who showed up to celebrate were  KATHY BURNS, artists BERNIE WRIGHTSON and WILLIAM STOUT, author DAVID J. SCHOW, directors TOM HOLLAND and KENNETH J. HALL, producer TED NEWSOM, publisher JESSIE LILLEY, writers TERRY PACE, BILL WARREN and RICHARD HARLAND SMITH, production designer ANTHONY TREMBLAY and Dr. Acula himself, FORREST J. ACKERMAN!
