ONE MORE SPOOKTACULAR QUEST JUST FOR THE MEMBERS OF THE FREAKS BOARD!
Sideshow has been kind enough to supply us with a color London after Midnight PF as a prize for this exclusive Freaks contest. But in the spirit of Spooktacular, this one ain't gonna be easy!
Hidden around the board in different forums and different threads and posts by random members are pieces of a photo of a famous Universal horror character. Find the picture pieces, put them together and then email
dstephan@sideshowcollectors.com with "Spooktacular Freak" in the subject line.
Tell me the name of the character, the actor who played him and the movie he appeared in. Also give me your board name, real name and shipping address.
The winner will be drawn from all completely correct entries.
The contest runs from 5 Nov. through midnight PST, 19 Nov.
Come on - get your Freak on!
Please note the fine print:
Delivery time & Restrictions:
Because FedEx and UPS cannot provide tracking numbers for P.O. Boxes, Sideshow Collectibles will not ship to a P.O. Box. Please provide your street address or your shipment will be delayed.

So will these be in new posts, or old posts? Any hints? The mistress at least pointed us in a direction. Can you at least tell us the highest page number in a thread?

Hints? You want hints? In the spirit of the cruel mistress I'll give you hints - each part is in a different forum. How's that?
What, you want more?
None are in The Sandbox.

Thats fair. Only one more question, how many parts are there and are they easily found once you are on the page? Or are they like Freddypillar hard to find? :D

OK, I've looked on the first pages of the threads on the first page of General through Military. I still haven' found one! :monkey4

I've found four. I know the answer now, but the picture isn't fully complete. Is it supposed to or is there more than four pics?

Are the pics in the signature line, in others pics, or by the avatar????

there are only 4 - which is the central part of the image.
Quite a few people have found them already so it can't be THAT hard...

OK thats what I thought. I figured that would be the way to determine that we just didn't find the whole picture through Google or something. The character did appear in more than one film though.

I found 2 of them but had already got all 4 peices but since I didnt know who it was i kept looking. Now that I know I have all the peices I must figure out who it is. I think I know who it is but cant find anything to confirm it.

You guys must not be big Universal Monster fans. I knew who it was (the actor, had it down between 2 films though) from the first pic. It really isn't that hard to find out who it is. Finding the pics is the hardest part!

Dost thou mock me in my anguish? It seriously is one of those things that if I was shown this picture yesterday I could have told you who it was the pressure as pushed it to a tickle at the back of my brain. :google

How'd you figure out which of the two films, though? I've found the clues, but I don't know how to tell which film the picture is from.

I said the first one (but included the second in parethesis just in case). I also saw the exact same pic on IMDB for the first film. I think Dave might have just forgot this character was in more than one film.

You're right! I even spent time looking at imdb, trying to figure it out, but never looked at the pics. Thanks for the heads up!

Either film will be acceptable - although I'm sure some of the hardcore monster-philes can tell which film this photo is from.

Since the contest is now over, I suppose it wouldn't hurt. Here's how to do it:
Once you find the first one you click on the image and select properties. Copy the URL and paste in your browser. Then enter the webpage and change the number on the file in your browser (Ie; change 001.jpg to 002.jpg, 003.jpg, etc..) and hit enter. It should take you to that image.
Here's the first one:

Wouldn't it be better if the winner had to confirm by email like Sideshow in X amount of days? I know there were a lot of people that won some of the SDCC items that even forgot they entered. Just seems if someone REALLY wanted this piece, they should have to respond to claim it. Congrats to the winner though.
