Reason Stephen kings description of Pennywise is so contradictory is two reasons 1. he’s really an alien Shapeshifter from another dimension who crash landed on earth during the time of the dinosaurs. He also appears in the book as a mummy, wolf man, and Beverly’s dad at various points. 2. King has confessed this he wrote the first draft of IT when he was at the peak of his cocaine addiction and was lacking most higher brain functions at the time.
I don't think Pennywise being an alien shape-shifting explains the weird, unnecessary inconsistencies in Pennywise's design. Like his eyes constantly changing color or his clothes making no visual sense or his color pallete constantly changing. I think Stephen was just way too high.
@@bungbananaman I mean... The eyes are not even slightly a problem. You're telling me a creature that constantly turns into whatever monster people find scary can't change eye color, or the author is high? Besides... Wasn't it specifically said that he turned his eyes blue SPECIFICALLY so that he reminds Georgie of his mother, making him more comfortable aroung him
He wrote a 700 page bestselling masterpiece of literature canon while "lacking most higher brain functions"... I don't know if that is why it's so successful, or if it means he'd be even more of a genius sober
Frankensteins monster could arguably be called Frankenstein. Given that it is the doctors surname and that he is metaphysically birthing him into reality. He is also referred to as "his Adam" but its likely an metaphor instead of literal
If we wanna get real philosophical, Victor himself has earned the title of, “Frankenstein’s Monster”, as his goal to create life causes his friends, family, and other innocents to die.
I just accept that the name has sunk into the mythos of pop culture to such a degree that it can be treated as his correct title. If I say someone "looks like frankenstein," it can generally be inferred that I mean the monster. If I say Doctor Frankenstein, people know I mean the scientist.
Honestly Pennywise as depicted here feels like hed be better fit for a horror movie, as it was described hes not meant to be scary off the bat hes just a normal clown and lovely hefty one at that
I like to think of Frankenstein as uncanny valley. It describes him as handsome while giving him jaundice and thin black lips. 2 stereotypicaly not handsome traits. I also like to think of him as a gorgeous elegant man, because I'm a teenager
@@sundus928 I'm gonna sound insane but, no beard Jason mamoa is kinda what I'm imagining for the pretty man version. And maybe for the uncanny valley one just slap some clay or whatever on his face to protrude certain features ever so slightly. Maybe even get rid of the eyebrows.
Aw. I hoped we would see the phantom of the Opera in here since the book's description is pretty cool. "Yellow eye you can only see in true darkness" sounds amazing to see. I'm not sure how it would work in practice tho...
The depiction of golum in the animated hobbit aswell as book illustrations that the creator of the moomins depicted him as a rather terrifying amphibious/reptilian like person which I always found very fascinating
This in an extremely creative commentary as it is hilarious with it's sarcastic remarks. Not to mention being accompanied by high quality graphics from a talented hand that gives the viewers an accurate visual depiction of said fictional characters. 👌👌👌
To be fair the quote about Ronald McDonald says "a later year" and not "a year later" so it could be any time between 1957 and when it's being told. Still doesn't excuse Stephen King not bothering to figure out a consistent design for his other features.
I would have liked to see your take on the Phantom of the opera too. Many people think him a romantic these days but he was one of the first universal monsters, and has never once had book his deformity accurately represented
I love these! I just wish that you would have made Dracula's teeth more similar to those of a real vampire bat's. They actually also have sharp incisors which they use for piercing skin, their sharp canines are used for shaving away hair. The only popular vampire I know of that does this is Count Orlok from Nosferatu but it's a very interesting part of his design.
To be fair to King, he was, literally, very high on cocaine as he was writing it. Frankly, it's a wonder the man still had the ability to tell a noun from a verb.
I'm reading Frankenstein right now, and as I got to the reveal of the monster and the description of what it looked like, I suddenly remembered this video.
I will say, I did kind of like The Thing not having an actual design. Made it a lot more terrifying knowing it couldn't be its true form even if it wanted to.
While you couldn’t do much, in anything with POST potion Invisible Man, you could probably do something with him before he became invisible! I think the book mentioned he had albinism
Quite correct. Griffin (we are never told is first name), describes himself as 'almost an albino, with a pink & white face and red eyes, who won the medal for chemistry'.
Funny story aboot the Thing. There were actually going to include the three-eyed form in the prequel, finished building and filming the creature, too. The idea was to suggest that it was the original pilot of the spaceship, with the Thing being a specimen collected for a sort of "alien zoo" that they didn't realize was an imitation, which eventually broke out and killed the pilot, causing the ship to crash. None of that would have been explicit in the film, but that was the idea behind it anwyas, which is pretty clever as a way to make that shape have some sort of weight to the story, without saying the Thing has a "true" form, which to be honest doesn't make a lot of sense, at least in the films. Why wasn't it in the finished film, then? Same reasons everything else good got cut out of it: to shove a bunch of shitty cgi garbage in its place.
Please do this again and do mr. Hyde they all ways show him as some sort of horrible monster or giant when in the book he’s described as a men in his 20s who’s barely tall enough not to be a dwarf and has a facial deformity that can’t be described
@@TheHarryGoldShow what are your thoughts on Dracula’s design in the Castlevania series, particularly the design from Symphony of the Night that was used in Smash Ultimate and the Netflix Castlevania series? Is it similar to the original depiction with a few creative differences?
@@TheHarryGoldShow if you are doing this again on what monsters were supposed to be like the original novel to screen put in Mr Hyde, Jabberwocky and the Morlocks from Time Machine.
@@robbiewalker2831 There's not a whole lot of resemblance there beyond being a pale guy with a moustache, but then again I don't think Castlevania was ever meant to be a faithful adaptation to begin with! I don't remember any Belmonts or chain whips in the novel...
With the book’s depiction, and eventually with your visual it, makes me wonder who was the person remade into Frankenstein’s monster? I wanna read a book out of that
Your rendition of Pennywise gives me slight Killer Klowns from Outer Space vibes. Reckon he’d be right at home among the other clowns like Shorty, Krinkles, Rudy and Fatso.
When I was listening to the book for the first time I drew Frankenstein's monster and I really liked how it came out, the one confusing thing is he's described as being wrinkled but she also puts a lot of emphasis on his skin being stretched too tight and I'm not sure how you could have both
I remember seeing a Dracula like the novel one in a book on super natural creatures and monsters when I was younger I never would've thought it would be the original dracula
No, it wouldn't. The Skarsgard-Take is much more like the book, as even IT's clown-firm is usually scary as shit. The "baity" nice clown is barely used by IT, only for Georgie. Usually Pennywise has sharp teeth and emty eye-sockets.
And on topic of the thing In 2019 they found 45 pages he took out originally to get it published including the original title frozen hell and it’s available now
The only thing in recent years to portray Frankenstein’s monster close to accurate was a stop motion show on adult swim that used paper or cardboard to make the characters and sets
SCARY GHOUL SHOW, LETS GOOOO No matter what you think about the creature; the true monster is Dr. Victor Frankenstein. And our friend at the end is the one and only daddy to Cthulhu, mr lovecraft
I find myself looking forward to more of these " make the character look like the book, not the movie or TV show " vidz, even though I have to give Steve King some slack ( Praise "Bob" ), and say that Pennywise is an outer-dimensional creature that never quite looks the same way twice because his real appearance is far and away more horrible than a cleaned up John Wayne Gacy. After all, he imitates the Mummy, the Wolfman, and many other creatures , including the Black Lagoon Creature and a shifting, uncertain figure that really never focuses upon one form. He wants to scare you, not be drawn on form all the time.
You got Pennywise wrong. Georgie is the ONLY person in the book who gets a normal, friendly looking Pennywise. IT usually uses monster-appearances to hunt down the kids and even the clown-form looks disturbing most of the time (sharp teeth and no eyes). So I have to wonder if you even read the book?
After finishing the video, my favorites were Dracula, Pennywise and The Thing, your incredible art skills made them justice, different from their On-Screen design
Oh, and that drawing is Howard Philips Lovecraft , the man who had a fear of fish and very little experience with sex...which may explain why he was so full of hatred for New York...and failed utterly at being a husband.

@@TheHarryGoldShow Definitely true!
And I feel like in those days that would've been the easier fact to research.
2:17 Book-accurate Frankenstein looks uncannily like early photos of Abraham Lincoln before he grew a beard
I would have liked to see your take on the Phantom of the opera too. Many people think him a romantic these days but he was one of the first universal monsters, and has never once had book his deformity accurately represented
The 1925 silent 'Phantom' comes the closest to the book description. Lon Chaney Sr was a genius with makeup.
@@dianebusby7047 You know the phrase "Wrote the book?" Well, Mr. Chaney wrote the article on movie makeup in Encyclopedia Britannica. :-)

Y'know, as an artist you just gave me yet another reason to read more often.
Except for Stephen King that is
Man I would kill to see the Book accurate Frankenstein in a movie, he looks so much cooler then in the films
Now I want early 90s Kelsey Grammar as Pennywise. That could actually work
I love how he just poked fun at Stephen King during the entire Pennywise section 🤣
Frankenstein was definitely my favorite. Looked so much cooler than the movie adaptations.
I may be sleep-deprived, but Dracula "cosplaying Valentine's candy" cracked me up.
To be fair to King, he was, literally, very high on cocaine as he was writing it. Frankly, it's a wonder the man still had the ability to tell a noun from a verb.
what i love about your style is you can do cartoony almost exact styles like Hey Arnold, but then do THIS

Frankenstein in the original black and white movie actually had yellow skin, but for some reason everyone made it green later on.

Another Halloween down, another excellent episode of the Scary Ghoul show in the books. Great work as always!
The "Scary Ghoul Show" was a very funny intro mix-up.

It looking like a old normal clown seems more creepy then the movie iterations
Its the famous cosmic horror Writer, H. P. Lovecraft
Dude... you're a Genius... you are without a shadow of a doubt my favorite channel in the last 5 or more years!
I love the Dracula design!
When I was listening to the book for the first time I drew Frankenstein's monster and I really liked how it came out, the one confusing thing is he's described as being wrinkled but she also puts a lot of emphasis on his skin being stretched too tight and I'm not sure how you could have both
I love this kind of content.
I cant wait for the day this channel blows up and were all gonna be the OG subscribers
Yeah baby!!
Ooh! That's the guy with the cat that has a lovely name! That's H.P. Lovecraft!
Edit: 0:05 hey look! I'm at the top right!
Finally, a truly accurate depiction of Frankenstein's monster, more so than the other depictions that claim to be accurate.
How does this guy not have more views?! This is fantastic
That was either a great HP lovecraft or the you found the real DB cooper
I love this show! You uploaded an episode right when I needed it the most lol Excellent timing
I remember seeing a Dracula like the novel one in a book on super natural creatures and monsters when I was younger
I never would've thought it would be the original dracula
I know it’s Lovecraft but if you hadn’t done Zuckerberg before, I’d be tempted, given that it’s halloween. Same thousand yard stare
That Pennywise would've been so much better in film. Perfect
No, it wouldn't.
The Skarsgard-Take is much more like the book, as even IT's clown-firm is usually scary as shit.
The "baity" nice clown is barely used by IT, only for Georgie.
Usually Pennywise has sharp teeth and emty eye-sockets.
Thank you for the video, and your Howard Philips Lovecraft is gorgeous.
And on topic of the thing In 2019 they found 45 pages he took out originally to get it published including the original title frozen hell and it’s available now
The 1973 Michael Sarrazin version of Frankenstein's monster was rather good.

I think the 1977 animated Hobbit movie might be the closest looking official Gollum we have
