January Contest: There Can Be Two

[sirhamhat]

#20 is another actor I'm quite familiar with.... and he is one of Mike/Joel & the bots favorite actors... Mr. John Agar who was in Women of the Prehistoric Planet, Revenge of the Creature, and The Mole People. He was also in Zontar, the Thing from Venus, which wasn't on MST3k, but was parodied on my other favorite show SCTV. I agree that Agar is a bit of a dickweed.

[sirhamhat]

Holy crap! I just figured out a pretty good guess for #12. Is it George E. Mather, who played Lewis B. Moffitt from Ring of Terror?

[continosbuckle]

Nailed on both counts! #20 is the man with the muscled piehole, John Agar himself, who, I've heard, was a delightful man in real life, but had an uncanny knack at playing know-it-all jackasses in his movie roles.

And #12 is George Mather, from Ring of Terror. I actually got both his photo and the photo for Coleman Francis from old episodes of Sergeant Preston of the Yukon. That old show, by the way, has huge numbers of appearances from less well-known actors who were in MST3k movies and shorts. I might have even been able to run this whole contest with screencaps from old episodes.

Anyway, I'm running out of photos, and it's heading toward the end of the month, so I'll stop at the round number of 25. Here's the score so far:

1-7 sirhamhat
8 Mr. Atari
9 sirhamhat
10 Mr. Atari
11-17 sirhamhat
18 Mr. Atari
19-20 sirhamhat

Here's number 21:


Edit in after being identified as Yvonne Romain, from Devil Doll:

I'm so glad I got #12 right! That one was eating away at my brain. Moving on...

I'm pretty sure that's Yvonne Romain, who played Marianne from yet another one of my absolute favorites Devil Doll. Also one of my favorite ladies of MST3k to be sure!

Right you are! So the updated score is:

1-7 sirhamhat
8 Mr. Atari
9 sirhamhat
10 Mr. Atari
11-17 sirhamhat
18 Mr. Atari
19-21 sirhamhat

Edit, I wasn't that pleased with my remaining selection, so I got a few more pics. I therefore reserve the right to go past 25 if I feel like it.

Here's #22:


Edit in after identification as Eugene Persson, from Earth Vs The Spider and Bloodlust!, respectively:

So no response on #22 yet. It's still open everyone!

Here's #23:

Jesus Franco?

Nope! I'm not sure he'd even count for this contest because while he was an actor in The Castle of Fu-Manchu, he wasn't a significant character. I only include a director if at some point they had a starring role in one of the movies.

[sirhamhat]

#22 is Eugene Persson who MiSTies should know because he appeared in two experiments: Earth vs. The Spider and Bloodlust! Personally, I would like to have seen him in Earth vs. Soup...

and #23 is a really easy one... and someone who has terrible taste in men... Its Marilyn Manning who played ROXY!!!!!! in Eegah!

[continosbuckle]

Right you are for two more points!

For some reason, even though it was only one year later, Marilyn Manning looks markedly different than she did in Eegah, which may be something only I see. Who knows.

Score so far:
1-7 sirhamhat
8 Mr. Atari
9 sirhamhat
10 Mr. Atari
11-17 sirhamhat
18 Mr. Atari
19-23 sirhamhat

Here's a new one for #24:

[sirhamhat]

I have a handful of ideas for #24... but I think it might be Joyce Meadows who played, The Girl in Lover's Lane, Carrie Anders.

[inlovewithcrow]

I've been reading through and must applaud you for a work-intensive, fascinating idea for a contest. Bravo!

Sirhamhat is just plain spooky in his run of correct guesses.

Nope! I actually have a fairly recent picture of Joyce Meadows that I thought about using, but sometime during this contest, I decided not to do multiple actors from the same film. Since I used Brett Halsey, Joyce Meadows is out. I'm going to do a dump of the photos I collected at the end of the contest that didn't make the cut for that and other reasons.

[continosbuckle]

Last one!

Since it's the end of the month, the contest must come to an end. So this will be the final photograph. I will end entries tomorrow whether or not the answers to this and #24 have been provided.

This one may be quite easy to some people with particular tastes in films, so that's not my concern with this last one. I'm really submitting this one because it blows my mind.

Here's #25:

Edit in after being identified as Lynne Gorman, from the short "Is This Love?":

[sirhamhat]

Oh my God! Is that the horse-faced 40yr old "teen" from the Is This Love? (or just rough sex with Michael Douglas) short?!
